For those who haven't already heard, yesterday I got an e-mail from Sr. Mary Rose that basically said, among other things, that they'd been expecting me to enter some time around my birthday all along, but Sr. Mary Rose sincerely thought I was vacillating between desire to be a mother and desire to be a nun when such was not truly the case. Now I really don't know what to do. I really want to enter sooner than later, but my spiritual director has already suggested that I wait another year (albeit before any of this news) and I have already told everyone at work and elsewhere that I will be staying another year. Booo! My sister says I should go sooner than later, but she supports me whatever I choose. My (half) brother is on my side. My atheist/agnostic friend Galen says I should go because it's what I want to do...I'm hoping I will be able to reschedule with my spiritual director so that we can talk, cuz right now our next meeting is set for the end of June. In the meantime I guess I'll just try to ask around and see what others think, and pray a whole lot. I'm hoping I can make a retreat at Conyers or somewhere soon...
