On Saturday I went to Fargo to go to the Catholic Stores, the book store, the mall, and then a movie. I was really looking forward to spending the day doing things that I enjoyed! I started the day off with Mass, Morning Prayer, and Adoration at the Cathedral. I then had breakfast and read some of my book. The day had started off really well. I then headed to the Catholic book store to get graduation presents, pick up books and just look around. I enjoyed my time there and I met a few seminarians. It was great!
I then decided to head to the mall to look for skirts and just hang out prior to going see "Soul Surfer". I wandered around aimlessly not finding any enjoyment in just being there and around people. I even wandered into a Christian Store and still was not enjoying myself as I usually do. I felt my heart longing to go back to the cathedral to spend time with Him in perpetual Adoration. I brushed it of and went and grabbed lunch and went to the bookstore. I use to be able to spend hours upon hours at the book store and not even blink an eye. But I could barely spend an hour there without growing really bored even though I was looking at books that I usually enjoy.
It was finally time to go to the movies! I enjoyed "Soul Surfer" and cried lots and lots during the movie. It is a real tear jerker. Just warning you!
I suppose this detachment is God's way of preparing me for entering. I am curious what will happen once I get closer to my entrance date if I am already starting to detach from things of this world. All in God's time!
