About Me

I take joy in doing your will, my God,
for your instructions are written on my heart.

Psalms 40:8

My name is Clare. Well, that is what I go by on here. I am a 22 year old student. I am a “Yankee Belle” – I grew up in the North but am more Southern than my Southern born and bred friends.

I am a baby Catholic, having officially joined the Church on April 28, 2011. However, my beliefs have been those of the Church for many years. I don’t usually shy away from letting someone know this. I mean, I carry a Bible, Rosary and tiny notebook with a prayer list in my purse. I usually wear a chain decorated with at least one medal.

I love to paint, sing, play piano, write and act. I hope my talents will be of good use someday.

I have copied that verse of that Psalm at the top for a reason. I might be a young Catholic, but I feel like God is calling me to a life filled with works in His name. Shhhh! My family can’t know this.

My family won’t even talk about my joining the Church. There is no way I can talk to them about me feeling called to be a nun! I’m particularly drawn to three spiritualities: Franciscan, Vincentian, and Salesian. It makes my discernment very interesting sometimes.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at prayerwarriormt@hotmail.com

God bless you all!

    Hi! I just found your blog and I love it! I’m the same age as you and have felt a strong call to religious life since high school. Exploring different orders can make your head spin, can’t it? I still haven’t found the right one but I’m trusting God to show me where He needs me. It’s amazing that you’re already considering religious life so soon after becoming Catholic – it took me a few years to admit that God might be calling me to that life. I’m praying for you!

      Welcome to my little slice of sanity in the midst of the Southern Baptist Belt… errr, Bible Belt. One Catholic church in our county… to over 10 Baptists. I’ll be praying for you too. If you have questions or want to chat, feel free to comment. My email is here somewhere… or prayerwarriormt@hotmail.com
