One of the days...she came back home and told the sister: 'I have made up my mind'.

The sister was totally confused...and frightened knowing that that kind of face had something more negative than positive in it.

'You made up your mind to do what?'

Bluntly, 'To become one...at a school! You know...I mean..to..to become a R. Sister.'

'Don't tell me you are not getting married!' screamed her sister. She was totally dismayed and frightened. 'That's not a good idea at all. We can't allow that here.'

'Sorry, sister...I believe I'm matured enough to take my own decision. Final!'


All of a sudden this beautiful angel made up her mind and applied for the Sisters' school thing. She wanted to become a Sister - and never get married. No one could control her. We all pleaded with her to never take such a decision. She was serious.

Long story short...she was admitted. She was doing very well. She knew more than her so-called superiors. She was too brilliant, beautiful. Other sisters were very jealous of her success.

And one day, one of the heads who couldn't stand her annoying success bore false witness against her. She did nothing. She was accussed: arrogant etc (I can't say the others here). She was sent away.


She came home weeping bitterly.
'Are you alright?' asked the family members. They were terrified as they watched her standing so persecuted. She looked hopeless, betrayed...


After some minutes she said:

'I was falsely accused.' she summarised her problem.

They were still waiting to hear 'something'.

'I was sent away...and I can't go back there - they threw me out.'

Hoping that they would feel so bad for her...her sisters jumped up in joy and thanked God Almight: hallelujah, Amen!!!

She was totally confused and could only stare at them.

I too heard about her problem...and honestly I heaved a sigh of relief.

Just feel like sharing this. :D
 
Yeah...and the end of her dream.
 
Well. God didn't want that...I would say (or permit me to say). God's plans for us can't be shattered by man. However, this didn't work:D

She is happier today.
 
I'm not against people not getting married. Their decision...however I like the Genesis Rule, hehe.
 
Edward said:
No offense brother, but I don't understand why you all tried to talk her out of it? If the Spirit moved her to become a Sister...then wouldn't talking her out of it be quenching the Spirit?

I totally understand wanting her to get married and have a beautiful family and such but...was this just an idea of hers, or was she led by the Spirit to do so?

We are to walk in the counsel of the Godly .... Classik is Godly ... we are not to hammer or hound one another but we are to speak....
 
Thanks:thumbsup
Honestly we ought to honor some wishes. However this particular case got us all scared. (She had no reasonable reason for her decision). Today she is happier...than she'd had been.

I understood your question/statement Edward. Wasn't harsh to me:)

The only harsh thing was (Bayern Munchen). If you know what I mean:biglol

Catching up with classik :)
 
Yeah of course.

What that really satisfied my (our) conscience is the fact that no man can change God's plans for her life. But her dream (I still wonder how she got that thought) never came to pass. If she could be cloned: her married life and family vs her single life as a R. Sister...one is preferable: I know she would be more comfortable living a married life and (with marrital experiences) than being single.

Perhaps (she being so pretty) decided to stay away from guys by not getting married...and acquainting herself with the sisters' thing. Perhaps she didn't want to be under any man (husband). Perhaps she didnt want to stress her life taking care of children and her husband and struggling with all those problems typical women encounter in this strange life. Perhas she wanted an easy life.


In spite of all speculations...a Sister would still always take care of children (not her biological children), be under the men (fathers), still struggle to take care of them and make ends meet...


Whatever her decision was...I'm yet to figure out:dunno :shrug :confused
 
Ps. 128:3
Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides ofyour house: your children like olive plants round about your table.


This is my prayer for all. However, if a male/female wants to be single...and trully means it (maybe for the sake of the work of God) s/he should take it seriously....and also be ready to resist all urge and sin. Staying single isn't easy at all.
 
Staying single is more difficult. Can make one dead emotionally and forever empty.

Tho both have their disadvantages.
