Being Single

[lovely]

I have never seen this thread, thanks for bringing it back up needhim.

I have been single for 19 months now, and it gets harder the longer it goes on in some areas, and it is getting easier in others. There are lots of negatives I could focus on, but I am amazed at some of the things God is teaching me, especially with being a single mother of three in addition.
I know it will be more difficult to find someone now. I am 34 now. I am no longer a beautiful 23 year old, and I have three children that most men are unable, and unwilling, to deal with. I have decided to not see this as a discouraging thing, but rather as a natural filter to eliminate those who are not seriously commited to what God would have them do.

In the mean time, I plan on being joyful, and serving God to the extreme. Not that I wouldn't do that if I were married too. :-D

Blessings

Being single is part of what is akllowing me to grow in our Father. If I had someone I was in a relationship with, I might not spend the time I do with the father. 8-)

I'm single again for the first time in 8 years. He's been gone for 7 months now. I get very lonely at times, especially when the kids stay with him for the weekend and I have this house to myself. Physically and emotionally it really stinks being alone, but I just try and focus on other things.

At least I am able to be online and on the phone with my brothers and sisters in Christ all the time. I also have my wonderful children who keep me plenty busy.

And, my ex is an athiest....now that he is gone, I can now study, pray, go to worship, etc. all the time, without ridicule or having my husband try and keep me from those things.

If it be God's will, I will be a Christian wife to a Christian husband. It's not time yet though.

I've never been anything but single. I do know, though, that being single can be lonely sometimes. I'd like to have a relationship with someone, but after watching (and being in the middle of) my parents failed marriage and relationship, I easily gave God complete control over that area of my life. (It's some of the other areas that I'm having trouble with, but that's another thread...) I hope that in time God will lead me to the right person, until then I'll be content to wait. His timing is perfect, so as difficult as it may be, I'll go by His watch.
