Discernment is going really well. So well in fact that I'm discerning out. I'm sorry if this is a shock to any of you. Tomorrow (Sunday) I will be leaving the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest to return to life as a lay person. By the time many of you read this I will already be home. If any of you are in any way scandalized... I'm sorry.
Things were really great here in formation. I was involved in everything the community did, attended all of the prayers, meals, etc that were required of me. I was doing rather well in my classes and was growing in my faith. But it is apparent that God is not calling me to be a religious. Instead I'm discerning the Institute's Lay Society, the Society of the Sacred Heart, and deciding to pursue academia studying Meteorology.
Again, if this has scandalized any of you I am sorry and will most heartfully pray for you. If any of you wish to speak with me about this I am willing to talk about my discernment. Please, do pray for me that I may be able to take everything that I learned here and ponder it for years to come. This was not an easy decision.
Thank you for all of your prayers during this time in my life. Know that I truly prayed for each and every one of you!
