oregonsunshine View Profile History	Forever Dateless Posted : 31 May, 2011 09:31 PM Im at the age where Im watching friends and family mate up, have children and move on with their life and Ive never been through any of that. I havent gotten to experience the things other girls my age get to experience, and I am lonely and I'm tired of not getting to bring someone home to my family and i'm tired of going to family reunions watching my mom introduce my siblings and their families, and not have anyone to "brag" about when it comes to me. I guess my heart is broken because I haven't ever had anyone who wanted it *shrug* I KNOW God has a perfect plan out there for me, and I KNOW I want him to run my life and not do it myself..I just wish I knew what He was doing...

Sparrow843 View Profile History	Forever Dateless Posted : 11 Jun, 2011 01:00 PM Were you going to give legitimate advice, like not asking others for what we must give to ourselves first? (Acceptance, unconditional love, etc.) (I'm guessing you might have a more blunt way of putting it if that is where you were planning to go.) Post Reply

sweetsurprise View Profile History	Forever Dateless Posted : 27 Jun, 2011 12:33 PM Hi Oregonsunshine, I have to agree with what Clemsy had to say; that sounds like good advice to me. I do know how you feel, but if you concentrate on the Lord and getting to know Him more, being more of whatever He has called you to be, you will becoming the the one you need to be. Maybe your 'one' isn't ready yet? Dig deeper. Remember 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness and ALL (was is part, only a little ? no, ALL)these things will be given unto you according to His will. Matt. 6:33. I have a hard time admitting that I am 50 because I can't figure out for the life of me, where all the years went, and then I think about it. IF your focus is on the Lord and attempting to living a pleasing life to Him and remember that while you are single you can accomplish so much more than those that are married. Most of the time, people are brought together when they have a common heart interest. If your focus is in the right place, it won't be so difficult. I can tell you that dating for dating sake is VERY hurtful and useless. It and what goes along with it will rip your heart out. I have a friend who was 32, never dated, never had sex, met her husband through mutual friends (and guess what, he was 38 and had done the same thing). They are now married 2 years and have just had their first little girl. They courted, once they had met several times (they saw each other with other people around for the express purpose of marriage). She is not the only one I know who has done this, she and her husband are the oldest ones I know that remained pure waiting for God's best for them. My story is more complicated, but i would be willing to share it with you, if you like. You also might find some good help in watching Andy Stanley, The new rules of Love, Sex and Dating (I think the site is posted on my profile) and Voddie Baucham JR. is on youtube with Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood. I hope these will help and in the mean time, know that you are not alone in the way that your heart aches to be married, but this is part of your life now. Live each day to it's fullest in what God has for you! Sweetsurprise Post Reply
View Profile History	Forever Dateless Posted : 8 Jul, 2011 09:45 PM i totally understand where your coming from. we happen to be in the same boat. everyone is married, having kids 1,2,3 and you are still childless and single. Sucks at times. and you know you are a wonderful woman then you begin asking God whats wrong with me Lord? what i understand as i go through the struggles of being single is when we start focusing more of ourselves and not of God thats when things go crazy. if you could reminisce with me the scene when Jesus was walking on the water and Peter said Lord, i wanna go with you,he was walking on the water with Jesus, but when he start looking intently at the waves of the sea more than Jesus, that's when He was about to get drown. So when we start looking on our state more than who Christ is in our lives, that when loneliness, anguish sets in. The enemy will indeed pull you down the road of frustrations. No one says the road to happiness,contentment, is an easy path, it has some bumpy roads too. God has a reason in everything, when we worry and questions so much thats when we cant find the answers. Thats why God says, Be still and know that i am God. Listen to God more than your complains. Lets train ourselves to thank God in everything. I just want you to know that you're not alone, that there are a lot of righteous women waiting for there man all over the world. they may come or they may not.But i will choose to declare the goodness of God. i will wrestle with God like what isaac did. There is so much in this world, and i pray that you find it in your heart to celebrate the goodness of God in your singlehood. be encourage sister!! God still works... Post Reply
