All Things..Are Being Considered
Well, this journal writing thing has always been easier when it was required for school, so I seriously can't fathom that it will last long. Either way, I will certainly try. The main reason I wanted to start this is because I am making a very important decision regarding my entire future. I have been a Catholic since March 23rd 2008, and it has had a very recent and incredibly profound affect on me. I sat for at most an hour today making a pro/con list and at the moment can't remember what I scrawled down. However, I do know that the pro's out weigh the con's about three to one at this point, so I'm very happy about that. My decision could mean I may not have kids one day,or a husband. I may not live alone, but I will not be able to marry. I will have a ring on my hand, but not because of a man, but because I promise God I will trust Him to lead me, and that I will work for him constantly and consistently. I know that my decision may be one that I look back on and think " Why did I choose this?" and frown, but I may also be very happy with it, and be very blessed. At least for now, I do not have to make it right away, or for at least a year, so I am not entirely concerned. I want to weigh as much of the good and bad as I can. Even the idea of becoming a Nun ( or Sister as it is interchange with) is a slightly nerve-wracking one. I don't want to enter into it without a lot of considering my options. I know God will lead, but I have to honestly follow, or risk making a large and costly mistake.
