I was reading the discussion on the home page regarding the article on crosswalk.com. The replies adressed things that i had thought about alot lately. I wonder alot of the time if I am the reason I am single. I also wonder why there are so many of you on this website that are walking with the Lord, (you have made Him the Lord of your life, you have your lives together) and I think if it really is about us, if single women are at fault, then why are there so many Christian women on here with their lives together. Women that did what the world suggested and got their live together. I look back at women I know that are still married, (in great marriages actually) and I see that when they got married they didn't always have their lives together. I think that it is so true that the issue we are really facing here is God's Timing. I get fed up hearing that the reason I am single is because I haven't lost enough weight, because I have not found my purpose, that I am not married because I want to be married...which society says is desperation. I am so tired of people asking me what is wrong with me that I am still single at 35. When I tell people that it is really God who I am trusting for a mate people still look at me like I am still at fault for being single.

My mother was married at 15. She is still married to my father and they are still in love. They treat each other with respect. She grew alot in the first few years of marriage. She definately was not at her peak in life or at her best when she got married.

I am trying to change my way of thinking about my singleness. To believe that it is still the Lord that is in charge...that things will happen in His time. Even if I do everything I need to do to absolutely get my life together, that is no guarantee that my mate will come. God can do anything. He can send me my husband at any time in my life. He can even send me that man to perhaps help me and guide me and get me to the point He wants me to get to. I am trying my hardest to start trusting that my miracle can be around any corner, that it can happen when I least expect it.

Another way I look at it is this....I am sure everyone has had a female friend walk into their lives and comlpletely change them...support them...build them up, give them hope. What is so wrong with wanting that same thing in a man, a mate? Absolutely nothing. So I will continue to battle with my thoughts about what the world believes about singleness and why I am single. I will do my best everyday to put all my trust in the Lord and to believe in miracles.

Dear Lord,

I ask You to bless and prosper every member of this website. Bless us all with the Christian husbands that we long for. Bless our marriages. Prepare us all for our future husbands. I pray Lord that You will draw each of us closer to You. Reveal our purpose to each of us. Bless us all with the love we so desire. Those of us that desire children, please bless us all with happy, healthy children. Guide us all to love others, to forgive others, to reach out and make others lives better. Bless us with awesome, supportive, amazing friends. In Jesus Name.

Amen
