Acolyte, Priest Or Nun

Have you ever seriously thought about becoming an Acolyte, Priest or Nun? If so why did you or did not? Do you regret your decision?

Nun Priest Acolyte

I attended a Catholic school through the 8th grade, and was sure I was going to become a Priest. Many events transpired between my parents (divorce etc.) and I was "lured away". I have a great marriage and 5 great kids and I'm sure this is what I was called for. I have since re-dedicated myself however, I'm an adult Altar Server, I've recently become a minister of Holy Communion, and am involved with the Holy Name Society. I sometimes wonder about and maybe regret a bit, the decisions that were made for me and by me. I can only say that if I had it all to do over again I could only follow the path that God sets before me.

Honestly I can safely say that I never wanted to become a priest, being an Altar Server, yes at one time but I never did. I knew that I did not have the devotion to become a priest. I also never felt I was worthy enough to become one. I also never liked the ideas of funerals (I still do in fact), so I guess I was not brave enough to become one either.
