Yesterday I went to confession again. I had some things that I wanted to talk about. I am such a goof ball. When I was supposed to say the Act of Contrition, I messed up the first few words and laughed a little. When I get nervous, I get self conscious, and I tend to laugh. I just hope that he knows that I was sincere, and that he understands. When was leaving, I told him that I didn't see what the big deal was about Confession, I didn't see anything so bad about it, and he told me that some people did (which I understand).
This whole nun thing is still in my head. I see all of these children at work and on some levels I keep thinking that it would be nice to have a family. On some levels I think that it would be great to have that family with the kids and the dog and the husband and the white picket fence around the house. On another level I look at my life and realize that I feel this strong pull to God. I have all these distractions in my life and I just want to be focused on God, and his plan for me and for the world.
I want to continue my college education. I want to learn as much theology as possible. I think that maybe I should go and talk to my priest about all of this that is going on in my head. My mom seems to be okay with it if I decided to choose the religious life. I just need to pray about this more to help discern my vocation.
