Such a lovely testimony. I too, had a fun but frustrating 20s (although I travelled a lot and lived in France for a couple of years). Also ended up getting married at 30. Then wanting a baby straigh away but having to wait until 35 before a little soul arrived. Now I am 61 with a wonderful husband and 2 gorgeous kids in their 20s so I guess God had a plan after all and I am content.

I really needed to hear this. I'm 31 and still looking. It is so difficult sometimes to let go and let God do as He will.

Oh my gosh Heather!! I had such a similar experience with God but over something different. My husband was an unbeliever. I prayed and begged and sobbed to God in prayer to show my husband the truth of the Gospel and his need for a savior. I tried so hard to convince my husband of the truth, which often ended up in arguments. Finally after almost two years, I laid the desire to have spiritual unity with my husband on the cross and told God that I don't need my husband to be a believer for me to be fulfilled, He is enough. And if it is just me and Him, so be it. God also pointed me to where in scripture where we're told to lead our unbelieving spouses to Christ by living out our faith. Giving up that desire was the hardest thing I've ever had to do and was true dying to self for me. But God is so good and so faithful and now I know that that was a lesson He needed me to learn, to rely on Him and be fulfilled by Him. After I submitted to His will, things happened very quickly. My husband began seeking the Lord! So sometimes God holds off on answering our prayers because there are things he needs to show us first!

So encouraging! I’m 17 and almost done with High school and wanted to be married right away ! God is so faithful though; I love how the Lord showed up when you trusted in him!!

I'm living my vocation as a Benedictine oblate. It was 1994 when I became an oblate, and I was 22.

43 and still alone... 😞 I'll keep praying.

What a beautiful story! I will let God lead my life! I stress too much about life in general ! I just want to let him lead me somewhere :)

This is lovely! I'm a Catholic mama with 5 kids 9 and under! Just found your channel!!! Great video! Our vocation as wives and mamas is so beautiful!!!

I feel that God is speaking to me through you.. I am in a similar situation and waiting for the one.. I will give it up to God. Let him show me who he wants me to marry.

I got married at 33. Knew my husband for 10 years. I prayed for my future husband’s salvation as an act of faith. 30 days Mass. I finished it on May 10th which turned out to be our wedding day many years later. No I did not plan it that way, God did. I accidentally saw the date because I wrote it down and I was floored. I am the oldest and got married last. I wanted a baby since my sister was born, when I was 4. God said you will be the last to be married but the first to have a baby. God is so good! My brother and his wife wife tried to get pregnant for 5 years but they had to wait for me. I could go on and on…. God did so many wonderful things all of a sudden after many years of struggling.

Honestly, so many people won't understand you. I do understand you. God bless you and guide you along your way.

Hi! I am discerning religious life as I have felt a tug towards it for most of my life, and just recently have been experiencing a desire for a family (for the first time in my life! I'm in my late 20's, was always dating to feel loved, and I love babies, but never had a desire for a husband and children... or to be a mother!) I realize it's God restoring something in me that I didn't realize needed restoring. And this desire is great for religious life as well. So I decided with this newfound desire for a family, to search for vocation stories on marriage as I've been only listening to religious vocation stories. My goodness, I just want to thank you so much for sharing your vocation story. I have listened to your other videos on marriage, and wow thank you for talking about these things on a Catholic perspective! It has given me a peaceful outlook on marriage and family life. Please keep me in prayer. I am so thankful, and will keep you and your family in my daily prayers! May the Risen Lord bless you and your family always 😊

Thank you thank you so much. I needed this. My husband and I are struggling to have a second child and after two miscarriages I'm in the position of really needing to hear God and what he wants. I've always wanted to have a big family but maybe we're supposed to do something else. Pray for us please. You're awesome

I was a Benedictine scholastic but felt Holy Spirit wanted me to be the "abbot" of a family. My own abbot felt the same way so here we are!

My dear sister in christ. Thanks for your all well messages in RU-vid, may almighty God jesus christ and mama Mary give you peaceful l and blessed life Amen Hullelujah.

This is great, and gives me a lot of hope. It's terrific to hear you speak about your husband so highly - you're not gushing, but you seem like you are just assured and admire the man you married, which is how it should be. I hardly ever hear women talk about their husbands in that way, which I've always questioned. Anyway, thanks for this! God bless.

God bless you, your family an your work. I love your videos and I have learned so much. I am from Portugal and two years ago I left my work to became a housewife and do homeschooling with my 4 children. I leaved in Lisbon and now I Leave in Fatima. I discover that my vocation is to be a catholic mother full time. The children are very happy..😊 Take a rest and I hope see you soon perhaps I September. God bless you all. 🙏 PS.- sorry for my English.

I love vocation stories as well! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!!! Beautiful vocation story. ..thats how you do it, and you did it the right way, good on you :) God bless!

You are just so cute and sweet. I am so happy for you and your husband. Thanks for sharing your experiences and telling us how you chose your vocation.

Beautiful, beautiful story. I love , what u had to say, and took me back in time, to when I got married, after graduating from high school. Beautiful tips, thank u. 🙏❤️🌟👍👏💫✝️

Wow I definitely needed to hear this! I am currently 20 and feel called to marriage and to be a mom! Thank you so much!!

Such a nice story on your vocation. I am praying the rosary every night with your vlog as my guide. I hope to meet your husband on your vlog.

Thank you for sharing this. I have a very similar story of vocation - I also spent years, almost a decade searching instead of patiently waiting. The only deifference is that I did not date men, I "dated" religious orders - I did some profound research in various orders and I visited tons of them, asking the same question as you: Is this "my" order? Is this my home? And then....I met my husband :-) Love at first sight :-) So I have the same experience as you - if I could go back in time, I would not be so impatient and obsessed with the idea of "finding the right order". Instead, I could have focused on other things in my life - and just lived it. Anyway, I am thankful to God that HE has been patient with ME and that he gave me my wonderful husband.

What a great story! I liked you say “and that kind of thing” every other sentence ;) . God bless you! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you thank you for this! Struggling with waiting but what a beautiful reminder of the power in TRUSTING GOD! 💗

This is so good. We talked about Vocations in RCIA today.

i love the devotion to the sacred heart of Jesus through our blessed mother mary

Thank you for sharing your story. Love it. Thank you and God Bless

How amazing it is to see how the Holy Spirit moves in our lives! I loved hearing your story.

I love your vocation story! 💗🙏 God Bless! 😊

Just subscribed! Can't wait to catch up on all your great videos!!

God has blessed you with quite a talent for sharing your faith!

Such a sweet story, you’re such a lovely person Heather

I wanted to become a type of nun but I suffered abuse in the church and am rediscerning. This video was very helpful to understand the married vocation

Heather: I dated alot of great Catholic guys. Me: How? I can't even find 1! 😂

Very encouraging testimony! I’m curious if your husband can record a video to give his vocation story? I’d love to learn his journey before finding you as well.

This was really helpful! God bless!:)

Thank you for sharing and your honesty! This really helps me to trust in God!

One of my favorite videos! Lol! Thank you for your encouragement! 🌹❤🌹

Thankyou for sharing your story with us. God is good and faithful. I was worried I would miss the “ONE” and was afraid it wouldn’t happen. I was a little desperate I feel stupid now but he brought me right to him I just had to trust.

Very true, marriage is very very hard. To make marriage work be be happy and joyful is to pray the Holy Rosary everyday for yourself and for your family. Without praying the Rosary, marriage definitely is a disaster. The holy Rosary makes marriage happy, joyful and full of contentment.

Thank you very much for sharing your vocation. I had a similar experience when I was in college 4 years ago, not knowing what God wanted me to do in my life. I prayed a lot and let Him show me. I am finishing my last year of college to transfer and pursue my B.A in speech language pathology. (: I have my boyfriend, but not too sure if he is the one God wants me to marry. But I am taking it day by day and not too worried about my future since I live through my Catholic faith devoutly. As a young lady living the virtue of Chastity, it helps me decide if my relationships are right for me to stay or not. God bless you and your family.

Thank you for your story! Still figuring out my vocation a lot like you in your twenties :P

it´s beautiful your story, it helped me, thank you very much. God bless you and your family. Keep me and my sister in your prayers, as the time as single is difficult sometimes. Thnak you very much, you are in my prayers. greetings from Spain!

This is so beautiful ❤️ You are amazing

For all of the negativity and wrong paths on the internet, you are a breath of fresh air and life. I hope young people watch your videos and take some wisdom from them.

struggling the same thing now...still waiting and keep praying for my vocation.

Thank you for sharing!❤️🙋🏾‍♀️

I needed this today. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your story! ❤

Hi Heather It's me Marie. MaryRose's big sister. Beautiful. So glad to see you and your happy family!

Pls pray for me I am discerning my call to the priesthood or religious life to Marianist’s or jesuits

What a beautiful and blessed family.🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for this video :)

Amazing story! I see, I'm not alone with backup plans and difficulties with trusting God. It may seem to be easier for me than others who are waiting for a longer time because I'm "just" 20. But it doesn't depend on the age, God should be on the first place!

I just love the sit downs you do sis, wish I had a gal friend near by like you, Lord knows I need a good sister lol I'm a new convert as of about a year go, and all f m family is Protestant and hard core anti Catholic, so it's a tough thing, I was just telling my husband today how much I envy you for having a wonderful Catholic mom. I love my mom she's amazing but she is definitely nowhere near being a Catholic she's a devout Baptist and anti Catholic by baptist tradition.

Thank you!! God bless you. Pray for my vocation please, I will pray for you!

Lovely testimony

i am 21 and sometimes i am so boring.. i don't date a lot. i wish i could go out more often but my phone says i dont have friends. i just want to do well in school and learn to drive. i really wish i could have devout catholic friends. aside, how and where can i meet devout catholic young people?

very sweet video! How long did you and your husband wait before having your first child?

That's awesome

How romantic 😍

What did you see in your husband that made you admire him? How did God give you his blessing, how did you know he was your husband? Can you share more on that please?

You will be hated in many quarters and feared in others Monday, November 7th, 2011 @ 20:50 My beloved daughter, you must listen. As My prophecies unfold and when My Holy Word will begin to be accepted and listened to, you must be careful. You, My daughter, will be hated in many quarters and feared in others. My prophecies, which will be given to you, are to ensure that there will be no doubt in the minds of all My children that the promise of eternal salvation will at last be realized. My daughter, you will feel isolated, rejected, feared and will suffer harshly in My Name. Without your sacrifice, I could not fulfil My promise to save mankind, so that every soul is accorded the opportunity to benefit from their rightful inheritance. I call on My sacred servants to protect you, My daughter, for it will be their holy duty. In time they will understand what their role is. Meanwhile, I call on all My precious followers to pray for your protection against the evil forces, which are led by Satan, who want to destroy the world for their own gain. Be strong. Pray for protection and involve the help of My Blessed Mother at all times. Your Jesus Saviour and Redeemer of Mankind

wow i hear stories of people having visions with the sacred heart of jesus

I always thought my vocation Was to be married but I never met the right man always the wrong ones. So I’ve been single all my life

Hi! I hope you could please help me out! I'm actually going through the same EXACT thing where I don't know what I want. I have a deeeeeeep aching desire for marriage and babies. But i'm afraid that's not my vocation. I don't feeel a calling to anything else though. Is there anyway to contact you? I have some wuestions

what's your opinion on some of these american home grown religions like Mormons, Jehovah's witnesses, seventh day Adventist.

If you're waiting for God to bring your spouse to you, God waiting for you to find your own spouse . If you hunger and thirst for marriage, it's because God put that goal in your heart . Being single is a terrible thing if you don't want it !

do you have advice when faced with Mormon missionaries and jahovas witnesses.

I really need prayers ... pls keep me in prayers It’s been a long painful journey... from a real traditional hindu family and society from India... I was searching God and he answered my prayers I moved to Canada 🇨🇦 Hinduism > communism > oneness Pentecostalism >trinity Pentecostalism >Catholic charismatic > I was praying to God I am a sinner at its lower level ...I need better people who is human level but better than normal humans and lesser than Gods to pray for me in between you and me... I was leading to Catholic Church .. now I see saints I feel oh this is what I asked for Now I left everything I have and I know. Journey and journey and journey lonely 😞 Ha I almost reach a peaceful conclusion it’s about Catholicism that’s what God was leading me... I am pretty sure that’s my final landing I need prayer ... I need a catholic church I need to be out of debts I need a wife I need I need I need Pls all Catholic people keep me in prayer I know very little about Catholicism

†THANK GOD 🙏. YOU ARE BOTH HAPPY & BRIGHT AND LOOK HUMBLE REALLY. MAY THE LORD BLESS U ABUNDANTLY. AMEN. By Saba K and I was born in Middle East now Christian CATHOLIC & Canadian.

Pray the Holy Rosary. Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
