I have been going back and forth between vocations myself. I once brought this up with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament about my vocation. The advice I received interiorly was, in short, to love wherever I can and in anyway I can. My vocation will be made clear later on.

Ultimately, the vocation of us all is Love. How is God calling you to love? Also, try focusing on how you can love now. Practice the habit of loving in the now. If this becomes a habit, it may eventually lead you to your vocation.

Though, by all means, if you feel called to visit a particular religious community or the like, give it a try!

You’ve only been discerning for a couple months. Don’t worry too much about the future and take it one step at a time, taking Christ by the hand.

“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.”
 
I have been discerning some type of vocation for a few years now. My Bishop has given me some questions for reflection and will discuss them with me.
I approached my Bishop by email and asked a few questions. The reply back was warm, friendly and genuine concern for a vocation. He also suggested a spiritual director that could help with this.
Have you all approached your Bishop. I have spoken to quite a few people over the last few years and feel the reflection questions my Bishop has given me are spot on and will really help.
There are questions like ‘why would you like to wear a habit. what will it bring you’, ‘would a, b, or c, nourish and answer your call’

I too discerned a vocation at your age. I was convinced that I was going to be a nun. But then I met the guy I eventually married. Like you, I didn’t see myself ever being comfortable with being so intimate with another person. But, if you fall in love with the right person it is a very natural process. God made marriage, so there is nothing yucky or undignified about it. Its actually very beautiful because it is so self-sacrificial. As long as you are discerning, just be sure that you don’t allow your fears to guide you more than the Holy Spirit. God bless you!
