Everyonce in a while though I swear I catch them looking at me!<BR/><BR/>But as time has gone by they've seen that I'm still me and will still be me, only better!<BR/><BR/>Good plan having them over for drinks. That will help them see you're still you.<BR/><BR/>Steph ... I hear ya. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when people start calling me "sister susan".Susan Rose Francois, CSJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801188192396918147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9531808.post-1126128027062043652005-09-07T16:20:00.000-05:002005-09-07T16:20:00.000-05:00I just told most of my friends about my vocation h...I just told most of my friends about my vocation hopes.

The whole time we were at the church for the wake, my mom kept introducing me to everyone (who all already knew me anyway!) as "This is Sister Stephanie. The order sent her home for this."<BR/><BR/>For one thing, I <I>chose</I> to come home for it. For another thing, the way she put it made it sound like I was kicked out or something. And, if nothing else, it made me stop being "Steph" and become "Oooooo, a nun!" Course, my mom's really the only who acted like that ....Steph Youstrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799345194981358171noreply@blogger.com
