A Connection Beyond First Impressions

It was incredible how easily we clicked during our second encounter! Our first meeting was a bit awkward and tense, but I could tell she was just unfamiliar with her surroundings. Despite that, I couldn't help but notice her kindness and beauty, especially those smiles that never seemed to fade. We all couldn't help but sneak glances at her, trying not to get caught in our admiration.
During our second meeting, I tried to keep my distance at first, but it was impossible. I found myself right in the middle of things, helping out, and there she was, offering her assistance despite being busy. We ended up having a deep conversation, sharing our experiences. Her lovely French accent and her passion for life struck me. I couldn't help but wonder why such a beautiful woman would choose a life of celibacy. The only explanation I could come up with was her strong faith in God.
To my surprise, I later met her father and realized that their warmth and ability to bring joy to others was a family trait. This was just one of the many valuable lessons I've added to my collection of life experiences.

Why would such a beauty choose consecrated (celibate) life?
Encountering the person or getting to know the story is the only way to understand why. May God bless your vocations.

why should such a beauty not choose consecrated (celibate) life? should consecrated life be left for the ugly (if ever there was such a thing). It is God who calls, and He also likes what's beautiful, by the way... haha. Peace!!

I first encountered him from a distance, but his remarkable sense of humor and composed demeanor immediately captured my attention. Intrigued, I decided to delve deeper into discovering the true essence of this individual. To my astonishment, he proved to be just as genuine and authentic in person as he appeared through his online interactions.

People come together in various aspects of life for a multitude of reasons. Sometimes, the circumstances surrounding these meetings can be a mystery. However, these encounters often blossom into moments of profound connection. One such instance is the bond that is formed between a group of individuals. The memories of our meeting places still linger in my mind, as vivid as the taste of freshly tapped palm wine. I distinctly recall a time when I had to relinquish a cherished position due to the negative comments of those around me. It was a pivotal moment when I was called back to resume my role, as those who had temporarily taken over realized the challenges it entailed. I view this as a divine intervention. Despite being asked to take full control, we became effective partners in our work. I humbly sought their guidance, which provided me with invaluable learning opportunities. Another significant encounter occurred when I felt compelled to seek a unique connection with the Divine. I
