After prayer meeting, had a talk with a friend on the way home. Shared about how struggles is with home and my "heavy involvement" with church stuff (at least from the perspective of my mom).
Immediately upon entering the home, mom discusses the situation of another friend. This friend has felt God's call to enter seminary, despite having gone through undergrad already. My mom thinks that she should be more practical about her life and her faith, and get a real job. This would help out the family, too. I defended my friend, perhaps God has called her to seminary and has a purpose that lies outside of secular work? My mom strongly disagrees. This of course, opens up into a discussion about what I am doing with my life (perhaps, this was my mom's motive in the first place?)
One heated argument later, I am writing up this blog post... instead of praying. I will go pray more, especially for God to work on my mom.
