Name: Anne Moore
Metro:
Gender: Female
Interests: I enjoy helping people most of all, but I have some other interests as well. I love to dance, sing, play music, read, draw, and write poetry. I will listen to almost any sort of music that doesn't draw me from my Lord. I love Christian music so much, and I sing it almost constantly too. As far as other interests go, I have many and I am always open to trying new things. I decided to save the best for last: my Jesus and Catholicism are by far my top interests...of course!
Expertise: I like to think I am good at helping people, and at playing and singing music. I am far from an expert at prayer and my relationship with God, but that is what I work at the hardest.
Occupation: giving thanks
Industry: religious life (convent)

| I will enter the community of the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration in Hanceville, AL on January 21st in answer to a call I received from God a long time ago. From there, I will see what He wants to do with me! ;) I can't get phone calls or use the internet, but I would be thrilled to get a letter from you (and send photos too, if you like)! If you write, I will write you a reply at Christmas (the time when we are allowed to write letters to friends). My address is 3222 CR 548 Hanceville, AL 35077.
God bless you all, and thanks for reading! :) I'll be praying for you.

| I was going to finish shopping today, and then hopefully get a good start on packing too. Well, I went into town at 11 this morning, and arrived home from shopping almost 12 hours later. Around about the eleventh hour of shopping, I was beginning to despair. I prayed, "God, I wanted these past four weeks to be all about You! Instead, they have mostly been about consumerism and stress. Help! I want to spend these last two weeks preparing my heart for You!" I spent less than 30 minutes in the next store I entered. There, I found the final three items I was despairing of ever finding. Mind you, I had spent the last ten hours searching for JUST THESE ITEMS, but to no avail. God is funny. :) I had wanted to get all of the shopping done so I would then have time to spend with Him, but He wanted to be a part of the shopping too! ...I just wish I had discovered that sooner. 
I hope you have enjoyed this small anecdote about God's sense of humor. 
May God bless you with the joy of knowing He has come! | | |
| Well, preparations are moving right along. Just three weeks left! Wow. I can hardly believe it. By the end of this week, I hope to be packed and have most of my belongings given away. In short, I hope to be as ready as if I am leaving for the monastery tomorrow. That way, my mind will be clear of most worries so I can concentrate on REALLY being here for my remaining time. I must be Martha for just a short time longer, in preparation for becoming Mary. :)
I have said so many goodbyes already, but it never gets any easier. ...And there will be many more to come. I can only pray that the torrent of sadness won't overwhelm me in the monastery, as it is blessedly subdued right now.
I guess God knows I couldn't take sadness along with the spiritual strife that is going on right now. Aaaaa!! Satan is laying it on thick! ...Depression, desire to be married...to ANYONE, temptation to impurity, mental images of demons when I close my eyes to sleep, despairing feelings of unworthiness, temptation to trust myself more than God...and the list goes on. And I know entrance to the monastery will not mark the end of the trials, but instead will mark the beginning of harder ones. But God is good. The times of trial are broken up by the times of peace and certainty. The certainty is usually very short, but it is enough to keep me going through the tough times until He gives me peace again. God is so good! "God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13" He WILL test us, but only to make us stronger. And He is always quick to make Himself known if we cry out His name when it feels like we just can't take it anymore.
May God bless you all! You are in my prayers. ~*Peace be with you!*~ | | |
| Well, my "nun shower" is tomorrow. heehee. Fun, fun, fun!
Things are moving right along for entrance. ...And the obstacles are crashing to the ground one by one. Dare I hope that I can actually enter on January 21st?! Ah, blessed day that will see me leave the world to begin to prepare for the day I will be joined with HIM!!!
Not much time to update, as there are many preparations to be made, and many "goodbye"s to be said. I hope you are all doing well.
Happy Advent! And don't forget to prepare your heart for Christ!
May God bless you! | | |
| Well, at last God has shown me where He wants me. And now things are REALLY moving fast! My entrance date is set for January 21st, which is 6 weeks from now. I have lots to do until then, so this entry is going to be very short. I just wanted to share the news with all of you. :)
May God bless you all! ~*Peace!*~ | | |
