<p>[QUOTE="Vintage Maven, post: 1411657, member: 11768"][USER=63]@cxgirl[/USER] [USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] I took a bit of time and reflection before my response. It is not a difficult or big decision if it’s always been in your heart, even if it has taken years to finally listen. I may fail to go into too much detail, but I have not arrived at my decision lightly. There are many personal realizations through time that come into this. To many, it may seem like many sacrifices have to be made. That is much to the contrary, there are no sacrifices if you believe what you are about to embark on is true to you, and you have the support of those around you who love you. And things are not as depicted in popular culture, a rather modern lifestyle is permitted, with certain limitations, I most certainly can live happily with. I do not have a concern of the stigma that gets attached to a nun’s lifestyle, but in order to have the ability to help others, one must be pure in thinking, an open heart, and have the ability to honestly answer curiosity people may have, and change thinking for the better. I do not look at this negatively in the least, it is not self-punishment, it’s enlightenment. I will enter this next year on the most wonderful, beautiful commitment I have ever truly made. My direction I will most certainly aspire to, will be eventually working with young people and the issues that surround them. I hope that is a most satisfactory reply. ❤️Maven[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
