Hi, you responded to my last post about Josie and the whole nun thing. Well I just wanted to give u the background as to why she wants to do it.
Well, she told me that her family here is so much different than her family in Argentina. She went over there for the summer and remained with her family. She saw how much faith in God they had, so much different than back in the States. It opened up her eyes, and she gained a religious faith; she felt the need to help others, and to worry about others rather than just herself. She felt complete.
Well, she also had told me that she had fallen in love 3 times in her life. They never worked out and she always felt pain. She told me that long ago before this summer, she always dreamt of having true love. Her last love was also during this summer. she met him in argentina, except she had to let him go wen she returned to the US. but she said that it didnt hurt to let go this time. SHe had already gained her faith, and felt whole.
She only began studying for the nunnery like since the beginning of the school year or so. She is commited to it, or so she seems. And now I love her deeply. I really dont know how someone can really sacrafice everything just like that. I respect her decision, it is a very mature decision for someone her age.
And although I love her, just being able to be her friend would have kept me happy, cuz she was my only motivation. But no, i cant even have that.
I guess i just wanted to give u her background so u can judge. I dont think she is going to change her mind. I just wish there was some way to reestablish the friendship, to go back to the way things were before. But either way, if she does end up moving to deleware, Im going to go insane.
thnks for reading this Sean

Well Sean, as tough as it may be to take - you really do need to come to terms with her decision.
It is her life & whilst I understand that you care for her an awful lot, if she has a calling & feels complete by her decision then this is a journey she needs to set out on.
Be supportive & accept it if she really can't deal with even a friendship - I know it's difficult but she really is a special person with a special recognition of our Heavenly Father. I have a great deal of respect for her. I really doubt she would have taken this decision lightly, regardless of her age & from what you describe now it seems God has called her to take this path...
As for some_guy_542 talking about not having a guy in her life to take care of her in your previous post... well, God is Eternal & so is His love. We should all be so happy for Josie & the life she has chosen! We all go on as though her life has ended, it's the reverse in fact, it has only just begun - a wonderfully fulfilled life serving the Lord... there are many, many sacred, beautiful things about this that most of us may never come close to experiencing.
Be strong Sean, the Lord has a plan for you too & this is to make you stronger. You will be blessed with another just like Josie, if it is His will so do the right thing & let go.
Time heals & should she move away, you may find it easier to move on. Best of luck with everything Sean, I hope my opinion helped a little. It's tough but you're stronger than you think :)
Take care
