I probably wouldn't make a good wife anyway!!!! AMEN! BUT GOD, who is your perfect, now and eternal HUSBAND, can and will surely make you into "a suitable helpmeet" at HIS will and pleasure! "Put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness" any time "depression" even tries to show up lying about GOD and you. And as a praiser and praise leader, GOD has perfectly equipped and called you to do exactly that. So....... KEEP ASKING ( asking, seeking, knocking in prayer and action), KEEP WAITING(but be real clear about what that means, and I heard bro kanyon tell ya right on your "What Does Waiting Really Mean" thread.), KEEP BREATHING[/b] (and I already told you why on that same (but name-changed to "Waiting to Exhale") thread.) KEEP SINGING!!!(to and about the LORD just because HE loves that!) And KEEP LISTENING (not just read/hear but truly listen) to bro giants (and that brand of wisdom) because he knows and he's freely sharing that knowledge with you and all of us. Serving the broken, lonely and helpless, as you do for a living, will keep your heart tender and you compassionate. Both are essential in a "good wife" and any worthwhile woman, so see what you do, and your servant's heart, as a part of GOD's "making you" too. And keep right on blessing those "little old patients" 'cause they are in the very heart of JESUS. Then, because of the kind of GOOD GOD you serve, simply trust that your faith will be rewarded and your prayers answered........ And most of all....stop talking crazy about "old maids" and such. Stop speaking negatively about yourself and your future. Because the power of life and death really is in your tongue.   [/quote] thank you sister for sharing!!! Bless you  |

I will be 38 in November and I am not sad one bit that I am still single. A couple of years ago I thought marriage was in the immediate future but, not so. I am glad that I made the decision NOT to marry then because it would have been a disaster. As I approach my 40's, I don't consider myself an old maid at all. I am enjoying myself and doing that which I feel God has for me during this season in my life. I don't believe that I should wait around for someone to "find me". How do you do it ASWSOU, Please share. .............Im really trying to accept my singlness and be content in whatever state that I am in and stay away from illegal relationships??? |

Because the joy of the Lord is my strength. I am not focused on why I don't have a man, why I am not married yet, when is someone going to find me and all of that nonsense. I call it nonsense because when one truly has a relationship with God then they know that everything is in His timing (and therefore His perfect will). My focus is on my relationship with the Father and making sure that I am obedient in everything that He is telling me to do. And the one thing is isn't telling me to do is focus on a man and/or my singleness. In fact, since He called singleness a gift, then I am content walking in the gift that He has graced me with for this season.
Being involved in an "illegal" relationship has already been addressed and there is also a MUCH deeper issue at hand.
