The last time I posted I was going to tell my mother I was thinking of becoming a nun. I told her last night and I wish I could say it went well but I'd be lying. She was very upset and just cannot see why that life would appeal to me.
I'm not going to write any more just now but I just wanted to say that. When I go back to uni I'll write a full post on it. I'm just very sad now.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteStay strong and I'm sorry it didn't go as smoothly as you wanted it to be, but I'm sure God is with you all the time..just trust him and ask him to give you the strength to go through this...
Thank you very much. I do feel quite far from God right now but I'm going to go to my church and pray there later.
ReplyDeleteHi Emily, I am sorry to hear about your mother's reaction. Often, parents don't understand what a vocation from God means and they also just want what's best for you. Don't give up hope and lose your resolve. Trust in the Divine Mercy of Christ and he will bring you through this. Your mother must just know that this is what you are passionate about and then she might have a slightly better attitude towards it
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm trying to be positive though it is hard. I'm hoping that as she has time to adjust she will accept it.
