Ashlee, I waited until I was 48 til I finally got married so I think I understand a bit of what you are saying. It’s probably gotten even harder in the past decade. I remember feeling so thankful when we got married (almost a decade ago now) to never again need to date.
Finding men who were committed to the Lord and who shared my values was not easy. Dating for the sake of dating didn’t interest me. I hope you have some great friends who understand being single can be a blessing. Not everyone is called to marry. And we live in times when so many people compromise their faith and values.
Take care and may God give you grace and contentment in whatever He calls you to pursue. I’m grateful for my husband but also very thankful for the opportunities I had to serve Him when I was single. Don’t wait to enjoy your life as though something is missing. God knows.
I’m happy to hear you have good friends. I think it’s great you still would like your meet someone and get married. I guess I am living proof that God can do anything!! I met my husband in the winter of 2011/2012. We dated til we got married in 2015. He was going to graduate school and making a career change so we took our time. But I knew God was leading us. I have always believed marriage is a calling. I will pray God brings the man across your path who you could share your life with if it’s His desire. You’re young…keep growing in your relationship with God. It will be fun to see how He leads you.
Susan thank you for sharing a bit of your story. I can assure you whatever it was in 2013/2014 it is not anywhere near that now. Lol
This is the sad reality. I along with almost all of my Christian friends are in the same boat so lucky for me I do have them to share these sentiments with. We've had those conversations about the reality of not being called to marry and none of us are willing to accept that truth 'yet'. We think we're too young hahaha.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I've done my best to live life and I serve at my church in a few ways so I'm doing his work and pursuing him above anything else, so we'll see 🙏🏾
This is very well-written. And you can give some of the best relationship advice in your season of singleness because you are in the Word. No advice is better or truer than the word of God. More importantly, you are exactly where God needs you to be for him to condition you to be the wife that any smart man would be lucky to have.
Ohh thank you!! and yes so true as i learn more of the word i learn more about how to be a godly woman in relationship and marriage. Thank you for the boost and kind words Johnathan!!
