I am in hell ,or on my way. The only thing I love in this life is women. I realised far too late that the only important thing is a wife who I love with every ounce of being.The lord gave me so many chances, I denied his gifts. I thought I would let the women I loved be with someone better, I should have been better. I felt I wasn't good enough.She's everything to me. I would be a monk for the rest of this life to maybe,if I can be forgiven, to have her as my wife in another life. And If I am unforgiven than I would give her alll my good deeds at the judgement of my soul. I have been the worst person imaginable. How I coud deny what God would have given me I can't even fathom. I feel my only hope is to be strong in this life and be faithful to God so I can receive his gifts. I hope my strength would carry over to the next life. I love her, I love her, I love her. I'm so sorry. Please tell me where I can be a monk or what sites I can go to, to contact.So many chances. I am a fool.

You can be faithful without becoming a monk!
Just follow his commandments, live life like he asks. All this can be done without becoming a 100% man of the cloth!
Even if you become a monk, your urges are still going to be there. Putting on a robe will not stop them. The only way to end it is by trying your hardest and praying to God for strength! It is NEVER too late to find Jesus and live like he askes! Ask the criminal on the cross with Jesus. He knows this to be true.

Becoming A Christian Monk

As much as I admire your eagerness to become a Church leader, I think you may simply be upset at the events which happened to you.
God will forgive your sins without you having to become a monk. Maybe you should talk to a Priest, and ask his opinion, and then make your decision when you can think more rationally.
I am sorry these events occurred, and I am sure God knows you are sorry as well. Like I said, I think your first step should be to talk to a Priest. If you are ready (and you sound ready), you can go to confession. After that, when your sins are forgiven, you can consider a religious life.

If you feel that strongly about that woman being a monk will not solve the problem. you need to consider that you can fall in love again.
hey if you want to be a monk just follow God's word and do his will and no dating.

You want to be a monk for the wrong reasons. You would be better off receiving counseling from a pastor or counselor. I am sorry that you are hurting and I will pray for you if that's OK.

Talk to a Priest ... I went to a monk monastery in Oregon which was so calming and peaceful. I hope to return again.

♥ Ouch, I feel your pain.♥
I know exactly how you feel. I felt like this for the first five or so years of my marriage... never good enough for my husband, children or anyone. I always felt they would be better off without me, and was always on the verge of trying to leave (but couldn't as I knew that would hurt them, too).
It is so difficult to have such negative feelings inside, and WISH that we could be an inspiration and uplifting person for someone else...
For me it was untreated depression... Depression is not from your spirit, and the feeling of being a complete and utter fool is not something that is deserved. It is a physical thing wrong with the brain, a chemical thing, I know. I felt so worthless, angry and intolerant CONSTANTLY, and I couldn't change how I felt at all.
Perhaps you were depressed as I was, and so let go of the person you wished to be with, but felt unworthy of.
There is healing from such problems as this. I had several break-throughs. One was realising what immense ♥ LOVE♥ God has for me, through the loving words of a friend, who helped me to understand that my sins were forgiven... the Holy Ghost confirmed this to be so. It is hard to feel that sweet Spirit when in an agony of despair, but it does come, if you persist through days/years, with prayer, and trying to have faith.
The hugest change in how I felt on a daily basis - whether I was tolerant or irritable, calm or angry, loving or self-loathing... Believe it or not, it was all because I was eating foods that triggered off the wrong chemicals in my brain. It is quite a common thing in this world where toxins are in so many of our foods.
Please take a look at this link (below), and maybe try out the diet, and see how you feel. Maybe you will find a calmness and peace of mind that allow you to love someone else, if this other woman is lost to you. But in the inner calm, you'll begin to see that you are never alone, and that there are many people in this world who need and can benefit from the love that you have.
♥ Peace, brother. ♥
P.S. I do not know your situation, but please don't give up. Seek healing for yourself, and then things will work out.... maybe not in the way you think, but something good can come it, I assure you. Please be ♥ing with yourself.

Women aren't any better than you. Don't put her on a pedestal. I'm willing to bet she did pleanty herself to get you upset. Women like to play the victim but most of them are very good at destroying a man from the inside out.
