A Time for Everything
I am stepping back from writing new posts so that I can finish my convent book.
Building a Convent of the Heart
My editor and I were talking about my convent memoir, yes. But we were also talking about my life, right now.
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!
On Top of the World
When I started dating James, I wasn’t sure how this was going to work out. How could I be in love with the Lord, and then also fall in love with James?
Three First Dates
Although James and I planned to take things slow, three of our first dates took place in the span of a week. ❤️
My Poverty and God’s Providence
I left the convent on the Lord’s orders: “Go home and tell your family all that I have done for you.” I’d given Him complete reign of my life: all obstacles removed, no holds barred. And so He acted freely in it, turning even the smallest details of my life into signs and wonders.
The Swing Dance
April 26, 2014. The night when my story became our story. In honor of this special event, James and I have both shared our perspectives about the night when we first met. ❤
Dressing the Part
That morning I finally faced the truth: in order to find a husband, I’d have to start dating men.
Layperson In Training
When I asked Father what I should do now, I’d expected him to give a more vague answer. Instead, Father welcomed me deeper into the parish community, by inviting me to volunteer and get involved. He made me feel included, which I liked, but also challenged.
