douknostcecilia Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 The other night while at my friends house watching MTV, on a TRUE LIFE episide titled "I Don't Fit In" spotlighted a young lady in southern California discerning a religious vocation. Though it wasn't a very long episode, I still found it interesting. I was still quite intrigued that MTV would have it on there.

shortnun Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 (edited) Oooooh hooray for MTV. It's interesting she was featured on a show titled "I Don't Fit In"..........

alicemary Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I did see that show, some posiitive things can be said about TV, ok just a couple positives! It was well done,explained the gals struggles and portrayed it in a very sensitive way. I have to say she was very pretty, very involved with her friends, had many possessions, but still felt a peresistent call to leave all and follow Him. I just wonder how her search is going! Thanks for bringing that show up, hope others will be able to see it when it is next on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgirl Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 From those pictures, she actually looks pretty normal! I can see where they could get the "I Don't Fit In" part, though. It's not normal for a 21 year old to break up with her boyfriend, quite school, and take a job in a doctor's office to join religious life.

douknostcecilia Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 Yeah, it was definitely done in a sensitive way. I must say that her struggles were some that I've dealt with/am dealing with, so it was definitely great seeing that. She was definitely persistent in staying true to herself and her Lord, and really persevered to rid all of the partying out of her life. A self-instituted 6pm curfew? Intense... I'm not exactly sure where she is, but at the end of the show it said that she had found a convent to enter. I wish I knew more, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I wished I even watched MTV, that would have been interesting to see!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightofelendil Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 yea, i saw some of the episode. i agree, i was very suprized MTV had her on the show. I thought it was pretty good tho, the girl they chose was very Catholic it seemed, and was very serious. I kinda liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
