Retreat and Where I'm At Now.
Two weekends ago I had my discernment retreat with the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist. Going on retreat I had a plan, I knew exactly what was going to happen. I was going to go into my spiritual direction with Sister Joseph and I knew exactly what she was going to say and I knew what I was going to say and I was going to come home from retreat with my application papers.

I've been holding this in for way to long. Please keep me in your prayers.JMJ+~BetsyTotus tuus Maria!

While yes, itwas only seven days of my life, it made such a huge impact on me that whenever someon
