How can "We" be content in being single? How can we accept it and not try to rush it?
I was speaking to someone last night who told me I was really young (no, not really but compared to her yes I am).
She told me I first need to move out of New Jersey and to just be content to where I am at now in my life. To not rush trying to find a partner but to relax and take it easy.
About 3 months ago, I ran across a lady while I was hiking w/ my dog. She turned out to be a Christian and I got into talking to her. She told me some things she was struggling w/ in her life and I told her a few things that I was struggling with mainly being single telling her I've never had a bf and just feel so lonely esp w/ other things going on that I just cannot let go and it's frustrating me to no end but, she was 43 and she was like, she knew what I was going through and its an up and down battle but, that she isn't married yet and doesn't have a bf and she hasn't really had many relationships in her lifetime (tho she's had more then me), --- she tried encouraging me telling me that God knows my heart and knows how much I want to be with someone.
She told me that I need to stop thinking and let it go. That God knows more so what's going on in my life then I do myself and that he's working on me right now and working on my future partner right now so that when we're both "there" we'll run into one another and it'll all fall into place.
I guess that's good to hear from someone else but, still a huge struggle for me. I want to be content. I don't want to worry. I don't want to think that God forgot about me or God lied to me bc yes, God doesn't lie or can't lie but, w/ everything going on, it's hard to really know as we cannot see or know the future but he does.
