TheresaThoma Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Earlier this evening my mom and I were talking about my older sister's boyfriend, (the jury is still out on if he is ok or not), and my mom said "Though according to me no man will ever be good enough for either of you." I so badly wanted to respond with "Not even Jesus?". I didn't though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] D'you know, my mother once said to me (after I had broken up with a lovely man because it just didn't feel right) 'You are just too high maintenance, there's no such thing as the perfect man so stop looking because you'll never find him'. And yes, she was right - no man would ever be 'good enough' for me, because God had chosen me to be His. When I later tried seeing someone else (long story, but it was good we tried a relationship after 6yrs of 'chemistry') he said he felt he couldn't hold or kiss me, that he felt I was unavailable.

FutureSister2009 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm getting depressed from reading this. I'm going to go to NYC now. That should make me feel better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmaD2006 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hey just read TeresaBenedicta's entrance (or really, formally becoming a postulant). C_O_O_L! I usually don't read this thread -- which is why I totally missed it. Will be praying for perseverence for her! Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissylou Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I think he's making an announcement that such a resource exists, operating on the (if you ask me quite reasonable) assumption that people who are interested in discerning religious life may be interested in checking it out. And we can hardly blame someone for going off-topic in the Random thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSister2009 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I just have to share real quick what happened in Theology class that made my day. It was before class, I was the first one in like I always am. My professor was there so we were chatting. Today he asked me if I was a Theology major. I said yes and he said that doesn't surprise him. I was surprised to hear that. He said he can just tell by my responses in class. (I'm always participating). He asked me if I've ever thought about Religious Life. I told him I do think about it a lot. He said he just thought about that after class last week. He said "I think Allyson might have a Vocation to Religious Life". I was completely thrown off guard by this but that's the first time anyone's ever really said anything like that to me. I mean I do talk about it with people but I never told him that before. He said it just dawned on him and he doesn't know what made him think it. I think God gave him some kind of revelation or something. Either way, it really made my day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
