I ask that my family be prayed for, that my father's health problems and my little sister's mental health issues are resolved by the healing touch of the Lord; that we will remember to be thankful for all that we have, praising the Lord for all things despite our poverty, because He has graced us with our necessities, that we may get by; and also that I will be able to discern His will for my life. I am eighteen and will be nineteen in July, and I am trying to figure out what I will do with my life. I love the Lord above all things, and nothing brings me greater joy and peace in my heart than taking time to thank Him and praise Him, to pray for my family and the whole world. That said, I want to somehow be certain that His will is being fulfilled if I were to attempt to join a convent. I have wanted to be a nun for several years now, predominantly considering the Discalced Carmelite and Dominican orders, but I need to know in my heart that that is God's will, not only my own.
Thank you so much in advance for your prayers. May God bless you and your loved ones abundantly for your thoughtfulness and charitable love for your fellow man. I will remember you in my prayers just as you will, bless you, remember me.
In Christ,
Taylor
