This is where people come, they meet someone, swing 3 times on the beautiful white wooden swings and then if they reach that stage in their relationship they are meant to be married.
I, among this reality, am single.
Hah! As i just typed that, my computer froze, it didn't know what to do.
Symbolic of peoples reaction at Harding when you tell them you're a single senior? Possibly.
I graduate on May 5th with the stark reality that i could still be single.
Now, this isn't a pity party but i have been asking myself this question recently.
If God calls me to join a team, and i end up leaving to do mission work overseas, could i, as a single woman, be strong enough to join a team of couples alone?
To this i do not have the answer because that is not a reality for me yet.
All i know is that while i am in Africa, i am more alive than i have ever been & if that means facing the unknown and the only bride i am to be is Jesus' then to that i say, ok.
But for now, until that day comes, i am going to just do me.
Proverb 31:30 & 31
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her in the gates.
Kelly Clarkson
It doesn't mean I'm lonely just because I'm alone.
