Happy Thanksgiving in advanced everyone! I hope your day is filled with grace, fun, family, good food, and pies. Speaking of pies, my family has eight. Two pumpkin, two chocolate pudding, two cheesecake, and two pecan. :D Farwell!

NaNoWriMo

Yello! To show my support for all of you wonderful writers out there, whom I very much admire for your writing skills, I found a picture for you. Yes, a picture. I found this picture on someone else's blog, and I thought it would adequately describe how some of you may be feeling:



Does it not? Well keep up the typing my NaNo friends, and may the Holy Spirit enlighten you! :)

I'm sorry if I killed any of you by the surprise of my last post. I couldn't resist. :P In the comment section of that post, I wrote a personal note to each of you that commented :)

Thank you all for your words of encouragement and prayers. I very much appreciate and need them. Although I am very attracted to the sisters in Ann Arbor, it's still a very big decision to dedicate your entire life to God. However, if that's God's will I know everything will be fine, and I won't regret it.

My "date" went very well last night. :) Jesus is such a gentleman. I think the hardest thing about my relationship with Christ is that I need to learn how to hear Him. It's easy to pray/talk with God, but the ability to quiet my mind and listen to what He has to say is a skill I need to develop. Thankfully, He is very patient. :)

In the hearts of Jesus and Mary,
Vicki

My Love Life

For those of you who don’t know, I am courting. Yes, I have been courting since this last Sunday, and it is so exciting! Tonight, I am going out on my first official date, too. However, I have known my beau since about…forever. He has always been there for me and never deserted. He is perfect in every sense of the word. Would you like to know who He is? His name is Jesus Christ. :) Yes, Jesus and I are courting; or to put it more seriously, I am discerning the religious life. And as I said, I am going out on my first official date tonight = I am going to Mass. I have never been so eager to attend Mass before. :)

Imagine, I may possibly be being called to marry the Son of God! How beautiful and awesome is that? I am so at peace with this discernment. I love Jesus, and I feel as if I am growing more in love with Him everyday. I feel that I am very possibly called to join the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Holy Eucharist in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Check out their website, it is very cool.

Although I may not be called to become a sister, I know that God will lead me to where I will be happiest. If he wants me to get married to someone else, he will bring that man into my life. Until that time, though, I am very happy to be where I am.

God bless you all!

Psalm 45:10-11

Hear, O daughter, consider, and incline your ear;

forget your people and your father's house;

and the king will desire your beauty.

Since he is your lord, bow to him...
