Lil Red Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 if you're like me...i usually take the long way round to get to my point...something like, how are things in your life, here's what's happening in mine...and speaking of what's happening in my life...i'm going to LA soon and here's what i'll be doing...

Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Thing is, I need to ask permission... Otherwise, I would probably go that route... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
let_go_let_God Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 It depends is your mom supportive? Then go straight out, "Mom I would like ...." If not, still go that route, but explain how you feel about going on this trip and explain all the little details. I will pray for you.

Thy Geekdom Come Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 My mother is very unsupportive of my callings (or at least she is until she sees that I'm serious, then she's okay with it)...I think the best way is to be straightforward...show her that you are serious and let God give you the courage you need. If God wills it, He will make it fall into place. You worry about serving God and let Him worry about serving you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
let_go_let_God Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Yeah, I would take a strong straight out approach and just tell your mom that "Mom, this is the way I feel, and this is what I need to do. Just here are the details and I would really like your approval." I'm sure that it is going to be hard, but you have my prayers.

Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Okay, I started the letter, what do you think? [quote name='E-mail to Mom']Hi Mom, I wasn't sure if you took today off or not, but I need to talk to you about this. You already know that I want to become a nun. It is not because I want to do this, but it is because it is what God wants me to do. Now that I am positive that this is what God wants me to do, I need to figure out which order He wants me to enter. Now, I have been talking with some Sisters in a community in Louisiana for a while, and we have started discussing a trip to visit for a retreat. The way class has worked out in January, I can leave either Tuesday the 4th after class or on Wednesday the 5th (No class for the rest of the week) and return Sunday the 9th.[/quote] There are some secrets that need to remain secret so the rest of this letter will not be avaliable for viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
