No...not what your thinking...not me
My cousin who is maybe a year younger just got engaged with his girl friend, found out just last night, who he dated in high school, been maybe 6 years ago.
Very happy for them. He dated 3-4 girls in between and I was there for each breakup and it was never a good time...
He was probably one of my closest friends growing up but since then we've both went our separate ways...but still have been friends, just not buddy buddy when were were much younger.
I'd say about 6 of my friends that I know got married in the last 3-4 years and I am always happy to see people come together like that and then start a family on their own.
It seems like I never take it fully well however, seeing friends get married while I don't, nor do I want to, at least at this time. Then I step back each time and God affirms my single hood again and am happy I am single and get to focus on Him.
I'll be honest when I say this, I am human, and when this happens, I hurts at least just a little. Wondering if my life would be better if I got married at some point. However, I get to use my being single to focus on God but I am very confident in my relationship with Him and he's done so much for me I want to be a blessing in other people's lives....
That being said, I find this hard to do. Whether I support in a Bible study group, a church, small group, children's program, program for teens, trying out a missions organization, go to school, go to work, CC etc. I just am not able to express God's love the way I want to or found that niche yet.
As people get older in the faith they tend to be well grounded and in need of less and less support from others in regard to their faith because they have learned to put their faith in God and not other people.
I wonder myself if married people feel incomplete sometimes because even though they have a family and kids they get to provide for and love may wonder sometimes why they are here, although I find that pretty hard to believe.
I usually get over this feeling, has happened before, probably will again. Just not a fun feeling to have.
Any support?
(I am posting this in the singles forum as well as the married since I would like support from both groups/so if you see the same thing twice don't re-read it, it will save you some time.)
Blessings!
