Four years have passed and now many of my friends have no idea this blog even existed. It wasn't until yesterday when a national publication contacted me about one of the blog entries that I started sharing its existence.
One friend asked "Why don't you write in it again?"
I hesitated, sighing.
I hesitated, sighing.
She continued "Well, why not? Why not share the rest of your story?"
All the way home, I thought about it, wrestling with the thought. But she was right - this was my story...although it might change my blog audience.
So, here's the rest of the story.
In October 2016, three months ago, I left the Daughters of Charity. I realized that it just wasn't "me" anymore and that I couldn't imagine myself living this way for the rest of my life.
I had been on mission in San Antonio for almost two years.
I had been with the Daughters for over five years in total.
"Sister Amanda" became just "Amanda" again.
"Sister Amanda" became just "Amanda" again.
This blog is no longer a woman in discernment with a religious community. This blog is now a woman who's going after adventures, seeking courage and climbing mountains.
Stay tuned.
