A debate with my mom about Why I didn't become a nun

[Victoria_Lady]

My sister and my mom asked me why I didn't become a nun.

I told her that because firstly the Vatican has been treating nuns with a lot of disrespect and perhaps always have.

Being a nun is a heck of a lot to ask of somebody especially when it's thankless, empty and most of the time it feels hopeless and if it wasn't for the ability to live in a convent and have your very basic needs met the fact is it would be pretty scary.

I spent the day today with people from the church handing out donated food, clothing and over the counter medicines and hygiene products and gasoline today at the homeless shelter, and I had people sign letters to send to the president to combat the attack on women's rights.

I can do that myself and I have.

 

And what I am, is a Chaplain.

I get to go home because I actually have one lol and make myself a steak with mushrooms and onions and Montreal seasoning, a baked potato with butter, sour cream and chives and cheese, and a Bloomin' onion and a glass of moscato wine and have the electric to cook it on.

I did have some of the people who I counsel, come to my house for dinner.

 

I'm able to actually get myself to the cruise ship next week where I work in the chapel...

And I don't have to be cussed at by nasty people who never has anything nice or uplifting to say along the way.

Lol

By combating the attacks on womens rights ... what is it you mean? If its the so called right to abortion, then you need to reread the bible. Abortion is murder of an unborn baby.

Pregnancy first of all doesn't work that way, and secondly, how would you like to grow up being abused and hated by your mom because you resemble her rapist or because you're a product of her rapist, or grow up starving and destitute or addicted to drugs that you never took or grow up being molested by a pimp?

The fact is that the right of women to our bodies is an inalienable right and we demand it and we will fight for our justice.

The Bible says absolutely nothing about the unborn.

High Victoria_Lady.

I can’t even imagine what that must be like,Victoria-Lady..I can relate to being abused though,..careful with the language, I understand it though, I pray that the Lord in his mercy, helps you work through your anger and pain...

It took me many years of cognitive therapy to work through mine...Praying for you and younare  deeply in my thoughts...🙏💗

You aren’t a lone in your confusion and misery, even though I can’t relate to the rape and pimp, which must have been “ Horrendous “ to go through, I can relate to the verbal abuse!!..

This never happened to me, I'm saying abortion should be allowed because these things do happen.

Many of the people who I counsel are products of this or had this happen to them.

My job is to help them to understand that none of this is their fault, and that god loves them and wants them to live good decent lives and to accept God and look to God for guidance and to develop coping mechanisms and help them to develop a positive self esteem and find motivation in life and give to them and find for them humanitarian aid.

Thank you, to be honest in retrospect i thank God for it, ( never want to go through that again and I never will)....he drew me to him through it ,so all that emotional pain and suffering brought me to Christ, he watches and sees everything that is going on....he allowed it and look what came out of it....a miracle when I was birthed into Christ/ born again/ regenerated!!....Spirit gives birth to spirit....that’s a hard one to explain, but, if you have been birthed in the Spirit it’s not hard to understand!.....All Glory goes to our Lord Jesus!!...

God takes care of you and has a plan for you.

Last year I found somebody formerly addicted to methamphetamine.

His body was like he was hollow and mouth looked like it was twisted sideways and as though it was where his cheek should be on the side of his face.

I got a surgeon to volunteer his time for him, I took him in.

After a diet of pancakes, SOS, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage and a bowl of spinach, turnip greens, mixed greens and black beans and a baked potato for breakfast.

A homemade deep dish pan crispy stuffed crust breakfast pizza and a salad for Brunch..

Beef, Bean, Cheese, Sour cream and rice burritos, diced potatoes with cheese and sour cream, and a plate of nachos for lunch..

A fresh fruit salad and homemade black bean dip with chips and four baked potatoes for a snack..

And then London broil steak, coconut shrimp, crab cakes, stuffed crab and a plate of spaghetti with Alfredo sauce and shrimp and crab in it..

A Bloomin' onion and baked potatoes..

A Caesar salad and a bowl of mixed greens and black beans for dinner..

With protein powder drinks...

 

No more hollow, within 6 weeks.
