New Audio Recordings
As promised, today I’m releasing two new audio recordings for the blog: First Night Home and No Going Back.
A Future with Hope
With James and my family’s support, I could begin to look at my immediate future with a little more hope.
Eight Year Anniversary
Remembering 8 grace-filled years of life outside the convent. Plus, two new audio recordings for Life After Convent blog!
No Going Back
I was only one day out of the convent, but already I knew: there was no going back. My 19 months in the cloister had changed, healed, and marked me. Maybe you couldn’t see this mark, like you could my oddly cut hair and cheap new clothes. This transformation went far deeper than physical appearances.
First Night Home
Each new color and sound struck my senses with painful intensity. After 19 months of white walls, silence, and lowering my eyes, just standing in my mother’s kitchen was sending me into sensory overload.
Winter Wonderland
I'm even poorer than when I entered the convent, I realized, because now I don't have my religious community.
Sister, What Do You Desire?
“I’m healed, Sister. My back pain is gone, and I can feel again.” I sighed. “So why am I so miserable?”
