Im not upset at all. Im sorry if im giving that impression. Im trully sorry Giant.............  IM trying to accept my singleness the best I know how.......If the Lord doesn't see fit to give me a husband than I will just have to grit my teeth and bare it. I know He knows whats best for me......I do respect everyone's comments and opinions that they have expressed. LOve Jessica |

Praise..
everyone is born single. None of us were born married. The problem is that we are unfortunately taught that singleness is a curse and something that we should try to get rid of as soon as possible. I throughly enjoyed my singleness and I am enjoying my marriage. They both have blessings and they both have challenges.

I also wanted to add to my above comment
I am also doing my best to accept the Lords will for my life and get into the place where I shoul be in HIM where I can be effective in the kingdom Of God......My souls desire is to win as many souls to Christ as I possible can. Its not easy, and its usually uncomfortable cause God always takes us out of our comfort zone.........HE uses trials, some tribulations, and sufferings as vehicles to get us to that place where we should be just like that scripture says If we suffer with Him we shall also reign with Him........All I want to do is please the Lord in everything that I do....
Love
Jessica

To "be", is to allow the risen life of Christ, and his nature, free reign in our lives.
Paul said, "I am crucified with Christ, yet not I but Christ lives in me and the life that I live I live by the faith of Christ who loved me and gave his life for me." and, "Christ in you the hope of glory."
We come into a realization of this when we have a revelation of Christ, who he is and what he accomplished for us.
When we "try" to be holy, good and Christ like, we frustrate the grace of God.
There is nothing we can do or have done that can please God.
He has done it all in Christ and He lives in us!
In Galations 5:21 or 22. The living bible says, "But when the Holy Spirit controls our life He will produce this fuit in us, love joy peace etc."
Once again, "be", don't "do."

I have to admit though it is not easy being alone, I get tired of being alone sometimes, I try to keep myself busy so it won't bother me so much. Somedays are better than others.........I do feel that there is something wrong with me, not good enough, nobody would want me anyway.............I don't feel like this all the time, just sometimes.....
Love
Jessica

I probably wouldn't make a good wife anyway!!!! It just depresses me sometimes to know that you are going to grow old alone its kind of sad!!! Just like these little old patients that I take care of at work. They have nobody and they end up dying alone it is really sad......I alwayes prayed that I wouldn't end up like that....
