Would I want a spouse - even at this late date, yes - I was married once before but have been single for nearly 20 years. Life is hard. I am thankful I am healthy and able to do so much but I wonder why things have turned out this way. I hope I want always have to wonder that. I concur with much that others have written. It just ain't that easy to be alone. On the other hand do I want to be with the wrong person - nah, already done that - once marriage once long term relationship. One more strike and I am out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217381756711118528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492879841311748183.post-86454814065353174062013-07-22T23:08:45.591-05:002013-07-22T23:08:45.591-05:00Thanks for the comment. I've actually made th...Thanks for the comment. I've actually made the decision to do something different. I've tried the formula of being out there, meeting people, etc, and it's gotten me no where. I'm part of a singles group that has no church affiliation, we're strictly social and a few of the folks in it are from my church. My big problem with the group is that they only do things an hour away from my place. I already drive 30 minutes to work 5 days a week and the occasional trek into the city which is an hour, or if I have a gig downtown, that's an hour and a half. So I'd like to do things closer to home, say within 30 minutes drive. But when I've tried to plan those things for the group, there's a lot of whining about how it's "too far" yet they ignore the fact that I drive down by them for things, without complaints. <br /><br />At any rate, I've actually read "Finding the Love of Your Life" by Dr Neal Clark Warren, and found it to be a great read. I probably stay in more than I go out most weeks, but I do go out occasionally. I'm actually starting up a direct sales business through Jockey Person to Person (as in the underwear company, they now have a line of women's clothes) so I'm going to be busier with that once that picks up. Still that desire to be in a relationship with someone and get married is still there. Since the formula that everyone harps on me to do doesn't work for me, I'm taking a different approach. After reading "Crazy Love" by Francis Chen, my prayer life is back on track and I've gone from wanting something and asking God to make it happen (think geanie wish) to asking Him what He wants for me. Since doing things my way didn't get me anywhere, this at least is providing results. The dating scene is still not there, but at least I feel like I'm making progress on it by praying about it. amystreasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258477246646236849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492879841311748183.post-75855463364046124632013-07-17T22:55:26.080-05:002013-07-17T22:55:26.080-05:00I myself am single and very fortunate to have a gr...I myself am single and very fortunate to have a great support system in my life, so I am my own worst enemy when it comes to love and my desire for a husband. Proverbs 18:22, 1 Corinthians 7:34-35, and Revelation 19 are great encouragements to me.<br /><br />Aside from marriage, what is your passion or calling in life? As for the bridal shows, just stop watching them. At some point, they become a poison and we fall in love with the desire and idea of marriage rather than doing what is necessary to be the wife and mother God wants us to be. I am guilty as charged, but I am learning to become holy in body and spirit.<br /><br />God recently showed me in Revelation 19 that I am "married" or at least engaged to Jesus. I am a part of His church, the bride of Christ and Jesus is the bridegroom. Jesus is coming on a white horse to take us to be with Him. God is the author of the "fairytale". I like to call it a divine romance. This is the standard for any earthly marriage. If my relationship with my beloved bridegroom Jesus is not where it should be then I should focus on that rather than earthly romance.<br /><br />I too struggle with my singleness, but looking at all that I have accomplished, there is no other way that I could have done many of the things I've done while married. I have been given much freedom and flexibility to do what I want when I want because I'm single.<br /><br />I hope this is encouraging. Don't give up, and stay the course. I am significantly younger than you, and I praise you for not settling or compromising your standards. Check out How to Get a Date Worth Keeping (for grins and giggles, you may like it). In order to get married you have to "change up your traffic pattern." <br /><br />Enjoy, and know that God has a plan. Do what you can to discover His plan.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592819510975747092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492879841311748183.post-86350015687666194742013-06-07T23:46:24.998-05:002013-06-07T23:46:24.998-05:00GRRRR I forgot blogger won't let me edit my o...GRRRR I forgot blogger won't let me edit my own comments...<br /><br />Forgot to add... Yes singles at my church (and others) serve, however there are still more married people that serve than single people. Is that because there are more married people than single people at church? Maybe. Or maybe it's because single people are busy working and serving outside of church. amystreasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258477246646236849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492879841311748183.post-29902076655089933572013-06-07T23:29:42.770-05:002013-06-07T23:29:42.770-05:00For the record, I never said or meant that the Bib...For the record, I never said or meant that the Bible doesn't say that single people have more time to serve. I know it does, however married people always tell me that I have more time to serve since I am single. That's such a condescending pat on the head. I serve, a lot. I am on one tech team at my church and I have filled in for others. I also serve the holidays, which means more hours at church for rehearsals, in addition to any stage set up and lighting changes, plus the extra time it takes me to program the light board. But that doesn't negate the fact that there are many more married people at my church that serve. Nor does it change the fact that married people can and should serve. However you'd never know that the way some married people treat single people. They make it sound like once you're married, then your serving days end. Which means, the burden of serving falls on single peoples shoulders. Not true or correct. We may be called to serve, but married people aren't called not to serve. amystreasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258477246646236849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492879841311748183.post-71476184096202563122013-06-07T22:55:39.128-05:002013-06-07T22:55:39.128-05:00I'm not married either, and I do understand an...I'm not married either, and I do understand and agree with some of what you said, but I also disagree with others.<br />I disagree with there being a problem when people say that you have more time to serve. The bible specifically says that single women have more time to serve--it's a biblical principle-the fact that people aren't doing something that is clearly in the bible is the fault of those individuals. Good for you doing what's right in this area! <br />With that being said, singleness is difficult, but in every season of a person's life, they are going to have trials and I think it's natural to always thing whichever one we are in is the worst one.
