I feel as though I know what I want to do with my life and how to get there and I feel as though these have come from my discernment and prayer and adoration. I want to go to Steubenville to become an English/religion teacher of the Catholic variety. My mom, however, wants me to go about it different way through a different college, transferring and different majors. I just don't know how to go about doing what I feel I need and honoring her wishes. Help and prayers would be wonderful!

Not fun! Here are a couple things I’ve posted on my other Tumblr about this sort of conflict: this and this. I hope it helps shed some light! I’ll keep you both in my prayers.

God bless you both!
