Singleness.
Such a dirty word in today's culture.
With all of my friends (and I mean a good majority of them... Even the ones that shouldn't be allowed to reproduce) getting engaged and married, what's a young chap like me supposed to do? Follow the masses or be so anti-establishment that I shun all contact of the romantic nature with the opposite sex? Such choices...
Or there's option three: Chill.
Chill and enjoy the things I wouldn't be able to do were I in a committed relationship (some folks in relationships should be committed... To an institution).
Chill and pursue dreams and help others.
Chill and let God be God and do His thing in my life.
There is so much more to life than worrying about how someone may or may not feel about you. Quit being so anxious! Be patient and realize that God will supply all of your NEEDS (not necessarily you wants) according to His riches in glory. Also keep in mind that the first thing you want may actually be the very last thing you need at this point in your life.
Is your self-worth and security tied up in what someone else thinks of you? Then you have a problem. Your worth should be based on what God thinks of you. And He thinks you're the cat's pajamas.
Do you feel you can't function without someone by your side?
Tread lightly.

I have functioned without "someone" by my side for 25 and a half years...and I consider myself a happy and healthy individual. Not that I don't get out...I just haven't found anyone yet to my standards...which are pretty darn high. I have family and friends of both genders. I am not done growing and settling yet....still becoming the woman that God wants me to be.
ReplyDeleteI will go off on a tangent and say this though...I will NEVER give myself to anyone who does not love me for who I am. Few have tempted to manipulate me on this...but in the end, I told them to go...well I'll just stop there.
