The other night a friend of mine was over and we were talking about being single. For the most part I am at peace with the place I am at in my life. Not for a moment did I think that I would be approaching 28 and still be single.
The question is do I remain content at the place I am or do I begin to constantly lay this hope of marriage at the feet of the Father? Do I bother him incessantly or determine to live this life until he brings that special person to my door?
The whole topic came about after one of the mission teams shared at church. They had been in the Marshall Islands
and they showed a picture of a man and his wife. The man had pleaded with God to bring him a wife - and obviously he was given one.
Am I single still because I don't ask the Father often enough to bless me with a spouse? I feel as though I have so much to give and at this moment it is being stifled inside me with no where to go.
Then the next question is - as a single gal, how do you let a single guy know you are interested? Or do you not let him know and hope he'll figure it out? I've read several different Christian books on being single and there is conflicting reports. I have a boy in mind, but he is definitely clueless...do I send out a signal or do I hope he'll come to his senses?
So many questions, so few answers...

You can come up with your own version of a batman light signal radiating from your house - or is that too subtle??
ReplyDeleteYou didn't think I read this did you. In fact, since reading this, you are slowly convincing me to blog again. It was a good outlet for me.
Love you!!

A big "C" should do nicely...
ReplyDeleteI didn't think anyone read this!
Mostly I forget to read but when I do, I am reminded just how great of a stalker I am.
ReplyDeletelife is about risks! if i hadn't gone out on a limb and took the first step with my hubby, he would have convinced himself that we were best as friends! yikes! can't imagine life without him now!
