Aya Sophia Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Originally was thinking this would be part of my "goodbye" when it comes but then I thought, why wait! Just wanted to share with you what you, in VS, are to me. You are: [indent=1]a community of souls in love with the Lord, gathered to encourage one another, to learn about themselves and God’s ways with them, to seek His will in their lives and to gain the courage to follow it.[/indent] Thank you and God love you all!

brandelynmarie Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Beautifully written Aya Sophia . I find VS to be a place where I can learn so much from the experiences & knowledge of my fellow VSers. I am virtually connected to dozens of people (who I wouldn't know otherwise!) who are also attempting to follow God's will for their lives. We vent to one another, we pray for one another, we share with one another, we tease each other! And I feel so supported & loved by y'all...we are truly a phamily. Plus, it is so much fun to post on here! I am so glad you are a part of all of this. We'd like to keep you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 VS is my discernment phamily. They are also constantly on my prayer list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 VS is family. We come and go, argue and support. The love of God binds us and strengthens us and He has given us to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulBride Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 To me VS is a source of encouragement not just in my discernment journey but also in my faith. It has been a community where I have watched myself grow and become more self aware as a Catholic and as a young woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 VS is a source of procrastination for me. Seriously, I kid (well, maybe not because I am procrastinating when I am supposed to be studying for my test ). VS has been a source of much support over the years. I have been able to go back to my previous posts and see how much I've matured in my discernment (I actually shake my head at some of the things I wrote over the years). It has been a place of inspiration, hope, and love for all my fellow discerners. You all have become my sisters in Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think us girlies do far more talking than guys do, and think how many teenage girls post here - if boys did at the same age we'd just get lots of posts saying 'Hur, guh, uhh' cos we all know boys lose the ability to speak for about 4years *Hunts for the 'heavy intentional sarcasm smilie'* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I ignore PCness since someone tried to refer to me as a Bar Person. I told him I was a barmaid and proud to be so, thank you very much! I am also more than happy to have doors held for me, for dates to pay for everything (in the past of course!) and to be given a seat on a bus....providing its not because they think Im pregnant!
