Singleness
Boy, it’s tough being single at this point in my life. Not only are most of my friends married, getting married, or in dating relationships, but now they’re starting to have babies!
I know that I’m not quite ready, that God is still working on areas of my life, preparing me to be the person I need to be. I know I need to find a job and decide what I want to do with my life. I know I need to find a home church and get involved in that community again.
Even though I realize all this, it’s still tough not having that special someone to share my life with. I’m not getting any younger, that’s for sure, and I feel like I’m wasting time that could be spent with that special girl.
Patience; I must have patience.
In times like these, I like to read something that an RA at Georgetown College gave me my freshman year, after a rough breakup. It’s always comforting for me to read, and I hope you’ll take something from it as well. Thanks Robin G. for giving this to me; it’s been a blessing beyond words.

The “Advice on Relationships” is beautiful.
So silly of us to think that the true Lover of our soul would give us any less.
(Did you write that? If not, where did you get it from?)
No, I didn’t write it. An RA from college gave it to me, many years ago. I don’t think he wrote it either, but it didn’t have an author on it when I got it. I wish I did know who wrote it, because I would like to read more from them…
I have a copy of the letter. A friend it to me, but likewise mine has no author.
People have made being single a bad thing. It really isn’t. I like being single most of the time.
I meet with a group of girls to discuss a great book (Emotional Purity is the title if you’re interested). During one of our meetings we were talking and realized that we are so busy trying to get through each stage of life to the next that we totally miss what God has for us. He has a purpose for each of us- To glorify Him. If you’re a student do that for His glory, not just as something you have to get through for the next stage of life to start. If you’re single, glorify God as a single, don’t just rush to be married. Ok.. I need to write a full post on this topic b/c I’m finding myself going on.
