thanks for the encouragement
I can not tell you how much I needed to wake up and read this entry this morning- I am newly single after dating someone that I truly thought in my heart God had made for me to marry and being early twenties in my small town means engagements and wedding plans- not starting at square one! It will be a challenge for me to sit tight and wait because I am quite the “go getter”, and I am still trying to not obsess over what could possibly be wrong with me- thanks again
I have to agree with Alisha, it was a blessing to wake up to someone encouraging me about the exact same thoughts that I have. Ever since I was googling how to deal with singleness and came across this website a few days ago, I have been blessed.
The one thing I hold onto is that just because we are single, does not mean there is something wrong with us. I am reminded by God all the time that my husband isn’t here because maybe he isn’t done with him yet. Don’t always think there is something wrong with you, your other half may still be in the process of becoming the man he needs to be for you.
I know it is still hard to be single, but like Samantha said, there is nothing wrong with you, or me. God knows our future and has the best laid out for us. Allow God to woo you while you are single and fall in love with Him. Let Him teach you how to really love, so that when it is time, you know how to truly love the man God made especially for you.
This message came at a time when I really needed the encouragement. I am going to be 40 this year and still unmarried. I feel like life is slipping by so fast and the one desire that I had the most is still unfulfilled. I walked in the door tonight feeling lonely. I don’t often struggle with that but tonight I did. I am tired of coming home to an empty home. The Lord has been so gracious and told me 2 years ago that I would be married. That is wonderful. However, I pray and pray and struggle to understand why it is taking so long. Recently I found myself slipping back into discouragement and depression and the Holy Spirit told me that I needed to resist the doubt and the devils lies and remember that His timing is perfect and He is a Good God. It is hard for me not to feel like the reason is because there is something wrong with me because the Lord has been refining me and showing me many areas that he is helping me change. But I appreciate the view point that God is working on my husband too. Thanks ladies Hearing Psalm 139 was most uplifting.
Thanks so much for sharing truly could understand and relate, appreciate you delivering that msg!
Wow, I was so struck that God’s thoughts about me…about you…o-u-t-n-u-m-b-e-r the grains of sand (I’m guessing that means all the sand in the world, not just at my local beach!). Powerful.
I pray that His thoughts become our thoughts when the loneliness and self-doubt plague. Thank you girls for sharing your concerns with life right now. It means a lot.
Holding my head up high,
Samantha
Thank you for the encouragement, it was so very helpful in the place I am in today. Thank you!
