A New Kind of Beautiful

In November, I went to Ann Arbor, Michigan for a retreat with the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist.  They were having a vocational discernment retreat, and I somehow found myself joining them for it.

I didn't want to go. At all, but in one week, I had three people talk to me about it / tell me I should go.

It began with me discussing vocational discernment with a friend on the way to work a week before school started.  She mentioned the Dominican Sisters and how her family was friends with Mother Assumpta.  Because she was talking about herself, I didn't think much of it for me. I am happily dating Daniel, why would I even consider discerning the religious life?
