What a beautiful testimony! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Mine was a much more bumpy road, but I married the love of my life - after Jesus, of course!- almost 17 years ago, and we now have 5 beautiful children. I love how you always go back to living in God's Holy Will. This is the most important thing in life, so I can appreciate and understand the importance of it. God bless. Hugs and keep doing the Lord's work! :-)
A Catholic moms Life 💔😭 I got cheated on and been used for other things and etc. needed a career in photography I am still looking and waiting for my right time Help 😭😭
It would be cool to hear your husband's side of the story

Rosary started in new channel with fr Pillari😇
This gives me so much hope. I am 31. I stopped dating men years ago and turned it over to Him. Could you share which novena you used? Btw, I’m a recent convert, the Lord told me to become Catholic as I was moving 1000 miles away from my home... my confirmation is Sunday! 🥰
I think she mentioned it was the Novena to the Sacrate Heart of Jesus. I am in my forties here and I keep praying and hoping. While things happen, in His timing and if it's His will, I also have stopped dating. After having to painfully let go of the one I thought was for me 3 years ago, I just can't. God knows what's best for us 🙏
Congratulations!!! Welcome home! Try to read my comment to this beautiful video.
I will hold you in prayer.
Start, if you haven’t yet, praying for your stud husband! He is out there.
Congratulations on your confirmation! ❤️
God bless you and welcome.
Have you found a man yet?
Even though I’m only 19, I knew immediately that I met the man for me. I’m not Catholic yet, I just began RCIA, but I have wanted to be Catholic for a long time. After a few weeks of dating, Lucas finally told me was Catholic. He was afraid it was going to be a breaking point in our relationship, but for me it was the clearest sign I needed to know that he was the one for me. Thanks for sharing your video! I really relate! His telling me that he was Catholic was my own rainbow. :)
I love this story! That is awesome! Are you going to be Catholic next Easter or this Easter? So exciting!
I believe next Easter! I’m very excited. This has been years in the making. I read “Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic” as a freshman in high school and I’ve felt like the Catholic Church is where I need to be ever since!
Emma, so glad to hear you are becoming Catholic. Since you are new to the faith you might like " Blessed is She" It's a website for Catholic women. They have daily Bible readings with devotions and meetups called Blessed Brunches. That's where I met all my awesome Catholic friends. It really helps to have a community on your faith journey.
@@ACatholicMomsLife to be a Catholic is to have the Kingdom of God within us.
Hi Emma! Did you end up marrying LUCAS?
You should make a pt 2 with Eric's pov and testimony about this! So inspiring
Hi Heather! It is 2 yrs after this was posted. Love your channel.
I too married later. I dated different men, all were respectful and kind, but my heart just wouldn't let me settle wirh one. I should mention that I was a Protestant at the time.
I didn't know what was wrong with me. At 29 I was set up with a blind date and met my current husband, a true gift from God! A devout Catholic. After 5 years of marriage, I converted. It has been truly the best thing that has ever happened to me! I have learned many things going through your past and present videos and am doing a Marian concecration program right now. Thank you! 🙏❤ PS we have been married 30 years and have raised a beautiful, devout son. ❤
I'm smiling from ear to ear and it's not even my story. I'm so happy for you and thank you for repeating how awesome marriage is - our world needs to hear that.
So true!
I think that it the first time I hear someone say that, honestly...
Heather this was such a beautiful testimony! Even though I knew how the story ended (you get married to your husband) I was at the edge of my seat listening to the story! You have a great storytelling ability and I really appreciate you sharing.
Awe thank you! I love talking about my hubby:)
This was not just a great romantic story but a great testimony. I actually feel like I needed to hear this and seek God’s will first and foremost. Thank you!
Awesome! That was my hope for this video:) Thank you for sharing!
What a beautiful story. Always go with gods will. I was a virgin when I got married too. What a blessing.
me too and it was all worth it as it's always worth it to follow God's teaching even though at times it may be difficult.
I'm 32 and don't think will ever meet my future husband. Whomever I meet I find only physically attractive, no compatibility, no spiritually connected.. God please give a chosen partner I am tired of my abusive past and childhood and surrender my future in your hands
The Lord loves you! He knows what is best for you. You please give Him everything and he will give you your heart's truest desire. Sending you prayers!
Your video gives me hope.
I spent 26 years in a non-catholic marriage. I left that because it never felt 'right', but again I am with a non-catholic man.
While that initially felt right, it no longer does and I am starting to see why.
Now that I am finally understanding, GOD, in his infinite wisdom, has started to move me away from this relationship.
I would love to meet a good catholic man whom I can spend the rest of my life with and finally feel at home.
I am praying with St. Joseph and am waiting to see what HIS will for me is.
When I feel myself getting impatient, and that is quite often still, I try to give it to the LORD.
Please pray for me.
Footnote: I just realized that I was led to your video for a reason. GOD is telling me to be patient and give everything to him.
I want a nice catholic man too!! 😊😊❤
I’m almost 37 years old and I’m still hoping for god to give me a good husband!
30 years in. We always say our job is to get in each other in to Heaven.
Oh my, your testimony is just what I needed to hear! I’m almost 25 and am still single I also was close to getting engaged, he was like Joe in your testimony, like exactly like him, he was a great Catholic man and knew he would propose soon but started having anxiety and I told him I couldn’t be with him, he also married basically a year after, and it also hurt how quickly he had gotten over. I also come from a broken family but I am still saving myself for marriage and you’ve given me hope that that special someone might still be out there. Thank you! P.S I’ve never seen your channel before but after I was feeling broken for not yet finding a husband , brought me here and I’ve subscribed 🙂
How are u now Marisol? Are u married now? You’re still young and should not rush….
I’d say I came across your channel by “chance”, but I know better and it absolutely was heaven sent. Hearing you speak, your gentle stories and pure nature is a breath of fresh air in a world full of pain and sorrow, to which sometimes I feel is so lost. Thank you for restoring my faith In humanity, knowing there certainly are other people out there that Love our Lord as I do 💜🙏 I look forward to more of your words and lighthearted stories. God bless you and your lovely family.
I love this I also meet my wife in the young adults when I was 24. 39 and still happily married with a 12 and 13 year old.
Loved this I had a similar feeling with my husband and left it to God and prayed. It’s magical and I didn’t get married until I was 30 as well
really! Wow it was so crazy wasn't it! Funny how God works:)
I show lot of your videos it is very good. Catholic is not a religion. It is holy family of whole world. We need to live life of christ. God bless you and your family. .from India
33 and waiting.... I would say that of all my requests, this one breaks my heart the most. The waiting and quite frankly not even knowing if it's the path for me, even though it's what I've desired since I was a teen. To find my one.
I feel the same way, I'm almost 28 and I've been wondering my whole life when I'm gonna get married...and I also was ready to get married right out of high school!
I cried through the last 7 minutes of this, with the Sacred Heart novena and the rainbow in the darkness story. And I am thanking God so much for bringing this to me now. You gave me so much hope and gratitude, Heather! Praying for you and Eric!
This was beautiful! We were high school sweethearts and hearing stories like this makes me realize I shouldn't take it for granted that we met so early in life. But you're so right, God knows what's best - whether it's meeting our spouse in high school or in our 30s ❤
For Sure! What a blessing you met so early in life!
This is so great! My boyfriend and I are opposite Myers Briggs as well and we match SO WELL on everything spiritually and life goal related and the Holy Spirit has certainly blessed us in this!
This is one of the best stories I ever heard. It makes me feel like I need to start doing more novenas too when I'm unsure of things, not just vocation wise but in knowing His Will-wise. I'm so happy and thankful that you were so trusting with God and willing to put Him first. It doesn't surprise me at all that He would give you a rainbow, God is so generous and loving. God bless you and thank you for sharing your vocation story with us! :)
As a catholic, i don't seek for (physical signs) and don't based my judgement on feelings but you have such a beautiful story. It's rare to find devout catholics esp here in the west side. Very inspiring! I also waited for a long time before i found my husband. God indeed knows what's best for all of us, He gives the desires of our hearts. We just have to be sensitive pf the promptimgs of the Holy Spirit.
This brings me hope. I too have broken an engagement and life went on. Your story reminds me of my current relationship with a guy I met at a Catholic Young Adult event.
Thank you so much for sharing your marriage discernment story! I actually started laughing because my marriage discernment to my husband had so many parallels to yours! 😂 God is good!
Heather, thank you so much for making this video. I was having a bad day about being single and this helped so much! I love your channel and your testimonies. I am actually on the second day of the Divine Mercy Novena just to let go of the ache in my heart over my vocation or lack thereof. This video was the encouragement I needed.
I can relate, I'm the anxious one and my girlfriend is the "I'm ready" one of the story. I'm pretty sure that anxiety isn't from God because discerning in adoration I feel at peace. So I'll just trusting God and I'm praying that novena too. Pray for us!
I will pray for you! )
Thank you for this!! God bless you both!
Thank you for the encouragement, Heather. Perfect timing for me to find this video and your channel ❤️
I just relistened to ur story and I’m just in awe on how beautiful ur story is!! Thank you for sharing and may God continue to bless ur marriage and family!!!!!!!
I love this! You and Eric are so meant to be!!!! Thank you for sharing!! :))
Beautiful, you give God the glory thanks for your testimony
What a great story! Thanks so much.
What a great video and testimony. Thank you very much and God bless you.
God bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story.
Go Irish!!! beautiful testimony :)
What a beautiful story. You are both blessed.
Thanks for sharing your story about meeting your husband.
Amazing story,God is great and loving!
This was about to make me cry. I love this story/testimony. Praise the Most High!
Thank you, Heather, for sharing your story. God bless you, your husband and your family. You put a smile on my face during my commute home. May you and yours be eternally blessed by the love of God.
Very beautiful witness Heather! God bless you both! This is very helpful to know that we can all experience these feelings at any time and we need God to help us discern!
I love hearing your story.
Thank you for sharing your lovely testimony. I listened to the entire story. You totally encouraged me today. You have an amazing 💘 love story.
Beautiful testimony. I come from a divorced family too. Thank you for giving us hope.
Sure! I am so glad it gave you hope!
Thank you for this! I admire your honesty. I can definitely relate to a lot of your story, divorced parents, anxiety with relationships yet still desiring them, thinking that maybe I was called to be a sister b/c nothing has happened yet (but hoping I'm not)... I'm already in my late thirties so it hasn't happened for me yet, but your story has given me hope that I am not beyond hope for living out my vocation.
Edit: argh, got to the end and now I'm crying. So beautiful, thank you
I absolutely love this story!
I love her videos. Her honesty is refreshing and helpful. It is good to see kindness and compassion, and thank you for sharing your own experiences, thoughts and feelings. God bless.
Thank you so much for sharing! We have such a similar story! It's great to know that more people experience God's presence/guidance like this❤
What an inspirational love story!
God is sooooo amazing!
Thank you.
What a beautiful testimony. Thank you for sharing.
This video felt really providential to me. Thank you so much for sharing. God speaks through our brothers and sisters. Hope is so needed. Sometimes, our stories come as a balm to the sores of our neighbours. This was it this time. Thank you. God bless you and your cute family!
thank you for sharing your beautiful story! it inspired me to pray and ask for signs for an important decision to make in my life, and thank God I did receive those ❤
You have a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing your stories. God Bless.
THANK YOU so much for sharing this
I just love your story. So beautiful. I can relate to being given the gift of my husband when I was willing to give him up to God really and truly in my heart. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing and for the encouragement. Bless you 🙏🏿
Thank u for this! I relate to the emotions and sentiments you've expressed throughout this video. I'm soon to enter seminary and this was a good help. Keep me in your prayers. May God bless you and your family!
Such a beautiful testimony ❤️ strengthens my faith in His will 😊
Soooo beautiful Heather! What a great story!
Glad you liked it!
You are such a doll! Thank you for your devotion and leadership. God really does tell us. He is so good. Praise God! You are a true daughter of the most high. Your vision and clarity are a blessing to everyone who meets you on RUclips. Peace little sister...
So helpful, thanks!
Thank you for sharing beautiful story it is hopeful
That was an amazing story, you are a very good story teller and an absolute Angel. I've been really considering going through the RCIA. You have helped me a lot from your videos. Thank you so much for the help you give to me and other people that find you.
Hi Heather. Just found your channel now.
Beautiful testimony ♥️ and your love for the Lord… always first!!!
What a beautiful testimony! God is so good! Your husband standing under the sacred heart and that rainbow, definitely a "God wink."
What a beautiful story!
Let go and let God!
Thanks be to God!
Beautiful sharing ❤❤ Love this video..I used to follew you in your channel. You are also beautiful physically and spiritually. One day I dowloaded your video and showed to my family. We talked about your experience with our friends. We really liked it. So thank you very much for the great evangelization. Bringing many people to Catholicism. I love Sacred heart me too devoted to him and I have similar experiences like yours.
Thank you so much for sharing your Love story. You are a true example of obedience, and that is what God wants from us. He wants us to place our full trust in him 🙏🏼💓⛪
What a wonderful video! Such an amazing testament to faith, waiting on God's timing, and when you know who you are supposed to marry!
I needed to hear, came just at the right time for me. Feels like your talking directly to me although in my case, I hardly open up to dating. All single and waiting on God's timing at 28.
Loved your story. Also awesome you were at the San Luis Rey Mission - I'm from Oceanside, and the mission was down the street from my high school!
awesome! such a great mission!
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing your story. Your discernment is really inspiring! God is so faithful.
I am glad that you like it:)
Hey this is a beautiful testimony ♥️ I have not been so so close til God like I am trying to now!! The one thing that I knew of is that when I met my husband I knew exactly that he was going to be my husband!! It’s like the only thing that I have 100% have known right off the bat!!! Love your story love your way of explaining so simple and yet beautiful thank you for this is so needs to hear this testimony in theses times that marriage is at a very weak point🙏🙏🙏♥️ God bless you 😍♥️🙏
By your testimony I simply conclude this one is Truly by Divine Design wonderful piece of Joyful Catholic lives.
I loved it! Thank you

Hi Heather, I really enjoy watching your videos, and I share them with my fiancee. This video, however, really touched me. I too was engaged, before meeting my current fiancee. Even right now I still doubt God because my fiancee and I have had to postpone our wedding from last summer to this upcoming summer (for financial and school reasons). I struggle believing if God really wants marriage for my beloved fiancee and I. Luckily this week though, at my new job I landed one of the biggest customers in my company (I do sales for a living) and this new customer will help me hit my monthly quotas and make a decent living in this job (Praise God!). So your video gives me much needed hope, because I'll admit I'm still kinda nervous that last minute we'll need to postpone the wedding again, and I know it would tear my heart apart (my fiancee has admitted the same fear to me too). In all though, I feel the pieces are finally coming together and working for our benefit. Also, it has strengthen our relationship with God and with each other. Keep up your ministry on RUclips, and many blessings to you and your family.
P.S., my fiancee and I are looking into learning the Marquette method of NFP, and/or the Boston Cross Check.
That is big! Thank you for sharing! I will pray for you and your fiancee!
Thank-you for sharing. There was a moment I cried out of sorrow and I ask God deeply and to Mary foeher intercession, for forgiveness for not always following fully his wil. For the times I was impure and not lived how he wanted me to. In the end, I wish I had.
I am married to an amazing man who also lives God. We have a big road ahead to holiness. Please pray for us and our family so we may also strive to be holy every single day and live God above else.
I’m exploring your videos, came over from A Country Life. I’m not Catholic, I refer to myself as a non denominational Christian. I’ve never heard the term you use as marriage as a vocation. I love that😀 Is that your personal term or a Catholic term? I’m going to subscribe because God’s word is Gods word. I choose to believe that we who are centered with God have all the same basic organic beliefs. I think you are who I’ve been searching for, a girlfriend to share God with. That puts a lot of pressure on your shoulders, I realize that. You’ve got this friend, I don’t want that for you because you have a full plate with your family. I’ll sit quietly waiting for your awesome shows. God bless 🦋💜
Vocation is a Catholic term. When a man enters the priesthood that is his vocation, likewise, when a couple enters into a marriage that is their vocation. Both Holy Orders (such as priesthood) and Marriage is a Sacrament that bestows certain graces to the individuals to live out their vocations. ❤
Hi Heather, My name is Natalie and i’m 18 years old. I’ve been catholic my whole life but i’ve really been coming into the religion in the last two year. I’ve known this boy since i was in 6th grade (catholic school funnily enough lol) and ever since i could remember he’s always been certain that we would end up together. Anyways we developed a really close friendship over the last seven years and we never really dated but there was always something more there. I’ve always been afraid of that feeling similar to what you talked about in the video and i’ve always pushed him away because of it. However, two summers ago he got into a relationship and it really hurt me so much to the point that i stopped talking to him. I blocked it out of my mind for about a year until he made attempts to reconnect with me and this feeling like i was making the biggest mistake of my life just came over me. I turned to the rosary to give me some clarity about the situation, i just feel like God has predestined me and him and the more and more i pray the rosary i see a future with him but i just don’t want to act impulsively until God gives me the ok. Any advice?
Don't give your heart to a man who is not yours.
Gaurd your heart and pray. Singleness is temporary, but if you're meant to be you will come together.
Don't force anything and don't jump into relationship because you’re hurt or lonely. (Trust me that is a lesson I wish I didn't have to learn personally).
Lastly, read "Christian Dating in a Godless World" it is a great introduction and guide to how to date
Dear Sweet Lady, thank you thank you thank you.
You are truly blessed! I was never given the gift of marriage. I have to trust although I don't understand.
Once I read " the one God has for you will bring you closer to Him". The interesting part of it was that I "found" the one for me but I had to let him go to stay close to Him. The whole relationship got me closer to Him even before the relationship started, during the relationship and even after it. I have prayed for discernment so much because sometimes I wonder if he is still the one God has for me but he wasn't ready at the time. So I keep hoping, praying and waiting for His will to be done in His time. I keep praying that, whatever His will is for me, to give me the strengh to live finding joy in the life He planned for me. Please pray for me.
Loved this video!!!
Glad you liked this video!
Loved this video 😭❤️😘
