I'm so thankful for the friends God has placed in my life.

Recently I went to visit a few friends in Indianapolis. While there, I was telling one of them about Candice Watter's book.

She got REALLY excited about it! So much so that after I explained what the book was all about, she said, "Where do I order it?!?"

Also, when our other friend showed up where we were talking, and after we all conversed on the subject of future husbands, she asked us if we could pray about it before we went to bed.

I have to confess- even though I'm signed up on this site, I really don't pray about this that much, nor do I make a serious effort to prepare for this possibility. I guess I have it in my head that I need to meet someone first?

But I appreciate a friend that's not only sensitive about this area herself, but also for her friends. :D

Have you ever felt like there must be something wrong with you, because no one seemed to be chasing you? I have to admit that I've felt like this on many an occasion.

Well, I had something encouraging happen the other day. (At least, it was encouraging to me!)

I happened to catch up with an old (married) college buddy of mine. We had a long serious conversation, which then turned to lighter things and memories. Of course, he asked if I had any prospects, and I said no.

Well, somewhere along the way, he actually admitted that he had a crush on me way back when!

The funny thing to me is that I never noticed. For whatever reason, it never dawned on me that he would be interested.

Of course, he did admit that I seemed to be more interested in the dream, rather than the reality, of a relationship... :D ... but at least there was a little confirmation in there for me to realize that I'm not TOTALLY undesirable!!!

It's small, I know... but I relish in the small evidences of God's love and encouragement... He's looking out for me. :)

The first thing I have to say is WOW...

It's very encouraging to know that I'm not alone in my being alone!

I look forward to helping pray for others on here.

I don't have much to say yet, but for my first entry, I'd like to share something a single friend of mine shared with me the other day. The singing isn't perfect, but the words are fabulous! I hope you enjoy this! :)

And here are the words, in case you aren't able to listen to it:

Verse One:
Their chains were fastened tight
Down at the jail that night
Still Paul and Silas would not be dismayed
They said, "It's time to lift our voice,
Sing praises to the Lord;
Let's prove that we will trust Him come what may."

CHORUS:
God wants to hear you sing
When the waves are crashing 'round you
When the fiery darts surround you
When despair is all you see
God wants to hear your voice
When the wisest man has spoken
And says, "Your circumstance is as hopeless as can be"
That's when God wants to hear you sing

Verse Two:
He loves to hear our praise
On our cheerful days
When the pleasant times outweigh the bad, by far
But when suffering comes along
And we still sing Him songs
That is when we bless the Father's heart
