Ana & RA: Nothing is impossible with God!
Chapter 1: My vocation search
Wisconsin Cheese Head gone New York
Hello all you dreaming gals! I was once in your place not long ago and I tell you, no matter what keep the hope because my story will prove that. I have been a member on here for on and off since January 11, 2001. I honestly couldn't wait to be on here sharing my testimony of a marriage and it is so possible. Girls, God had my through many challenges and discernments during my time here. I was writing one guy and we become only friends after one visit and then me discerning that I was meant for the convent. In 2002-2003 I spent time in a religious life but God had other plans. After leaving I still was sure God wanted me to be a religious and after six months Anthony Buono from AMS told me to sign on and try out all options while discerning.

I met many wonderful men yet no one ever fully shined. Then eventually I found a man that I was friends with before entering the convent and we seemed to have striked a gold mine on here and was so excited until three months before our wedding I called it all off! There was so many reasons, one was realizing I couldn't share the most intimate part of my being, my nakedness with this man. (The thought of after marriage being intimate was uncomfy and a priest shared that it could be a sign we were not meant for each other.) The other thing that really caught me was realizing I could never willingly want children with this man because when I woke up and realized my children would inherit not only genes but the family issues I was freaked out! Everyone has baggage but this man had more than normal and I could not see me connecting with his parents for life. So beaware of your gut feelings young ladies and know God gifted them to everyone for a reason. They are a warning! This man was domestically abusive and when married it would have gotten worse, I didn't recognize this until after I moved from Wisconsin to New York state to experience life near by him.

Between before and after him I met guys. Some lied, others supposedly converted to the faith yet that was a lie. I had many wonderful men interested and communicating yet nothing was like when I saw Bob...

Chapter 2: My walk with the Lord
If you have tried many times to have relationships to be established and you fall flat on your face then trust the Lord if He has comfirmed it that you are to be married. Don't give up, don't settle for second best. Some people say, "oh you won't get married" or "you missed your chance" but if you don't feel right about someone then be cautious, go with your gut feeling.

I encountered relationships that I thought highly of but never given the chance by the woman. Don't become discouraged, don't give up, there are times of tears, there are times of frustration...I even asked a girl for her hand in marriage who I met online and was courting across seas and she turned me down!

Settle your heart and trust the Lord that the Lord will find that special girl. Don't try to make relationships work, I tried and they didn't and that was God's blessing in disguise. Don't let physical appearance be the first judge. Don't settle for the outer beauty of a woman to which you could end up being a servant and not a husband to. Watch and see, do you want a woman equal or a woman who you need to serve? Good communications is important. Faith is always number one!

Why why why not this and that>? Stop questioning and let the Lord lead, Stay pure and strong on virginity and continue praying for her.

I had two girls I was interested in, one was seemingly trying to rekindle after she said no to me about her hand in marriage and the other I was attracted to yet discovered things about her character that was not attractive. Both woman christians yet both in different directions.

That is when I met Ana...
