Anyway, to the discerning young lady at the top, Antonina, bless you for considering a vocation to be a religious! You are correct: we all should be praying for everyone, including ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Again, bravo for another fun post, Sister!!<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>S in MDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-845234875984624692007-10-11T06:18:00.000-07:002007-10-11T06:18:00.000-07:00Funny, I just had one of those recurring dreams la...Funny, I just had one of those recurring dreams last night. I know you've had it - you're in school, last day and you realize you haven't studied or even been to the (usually math) class you enrolled you. And I can't find the classroom. I'm running around campus trying to find the classroom yet not prepared for the test.<BR/><BR/>I do believe God speaks through dreams today. It's not everyday but in my life I can confidently say the Holy Spirit has comforted me through dreams 3 times. The dream is strong and memorable (unlike my more everyday Dali-esque ones), and a flood of peace overwhelms me when I awake.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10942988700815313215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-22104147642293653872007-10-10T23:15:00.000-07:002007-10-10T23:15:00.000-07:00Sister, I have spent the last 3 days reading all o...Sister, I have spent the last 3 days reading all of the posts on your blog. I would like to thank you. Many of your words and stories have given me renewed faith. I have found it easier to pray and easier to accept God's will for me. I will pray for you for helping me in what has been a trying time. Keep up the good works and God Bless.<BR/><BR/>TammyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-37510676526115170432007-10-10T16:40:00.000-07:002007-10-10T16:40:00.000-07:00How did more people not comment on this?

I wish I had something more intelligent to offer, but I loved your balance between "Sure, it could be god, or it might be indigestion" and it's the message that's important. <BR/><BR/>There was almost an element of psychoanalysis in your interpretation, especially when you said "Duh, is it any wonder why you don't have this dream any more?".<BR/><BR/>I dig it.Come Back Brighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265267087716795746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-5860404869097746302007-10-10T16:34:00.000-07:002007-10-10T16:34:00.000-07:00I bet you most of them are not! Dreams have their ...I bet you most of them are not! Dreams have their place in our lives, and God uses many ways to speak to us. Sister is right, we should be weary of jumping to conclusions, however. God called Samuel a number of times throughout the night before he finally figured out it was God. One thing I've noticed is that the Lord is very, very insistent. If he wants to get something across, He will. Fear not! And to the soon-to-be-priest...I've been discerning a religious vocation for many years, and never had a dream. I have a profound sense of Jesus's hand close to my heart, asking for my complete surrender, and yet it is so ephemeral. Should we be so lucky as to see angels and dream the voice of God telling us what to do! Let us all pray for each other, that we may believe without seeing.
