Run! Flea! Have to get away!
I have no problem with marriage. I just don't want to hear about it.
I have a desire for marriage some or most single women do.
So my church is having a series on marriage. It's a good learning experience...
To be honest I fell asleep and drifted in and out of consciousness which makes me wonder if it was a spiritual attack or if I just should not have eaten that many carbs before church.
I am 34, I read the books The Excellent Wife, The Lies Women Believe, Kiss Dating Goodbye, Did I kiss Marriage Goodbye, Say Hello to Courtship, Quest for Love, Passion and Purity, this is not including the whole slew of sermons that I heard. Yes this is a full Blown RANT!!!!!
Anyhow me as woman love my femininity. Yes I can do my own heavy lifting but yes I appreciate when someone else does it for me. I can open my own tightly sealed jars. I am strong physically but fragile in other ways. I like submission, and partnership, I love children, encouraging, I love to cook for people, I like to crochet baby stuff....
There is within me a desire to use these skills to benefit a husband, but to be absolutely honest I don't think God has that for me. Is that a bad thing, no, not really. It just means that I will love on other people's kids and cook and give to people at my work, church, or family.
So to those who are single, be feminine own it, reflect how God created you to be. Do not worry about having a husband because if it comes, it comes, if it does you will not worry about it when you are before Jesus in Eternity. In the book Quest for Love book by Elisabeth Elliot one thing stuck with me and it's "Aim, above all else, at loving God." As a single woman, as a Christian period this is my goal, to love God with all my heart soul mind and strength and to love my neighbor as myself.
Yes I will go to the marriage class, hopefully without having people asking me how it's going...
