The amount of times I've sat down with married friends for coffee, and they take my hands, look at me with their crazy frazzled hair and twitching eyes and say, "ARLENE, stay single as long as you possibly can." Then I stir them up and tell them about all the adventures and travelling I've done on my spare time just after they complain about house payments and the likes (I can be mean).
But seriously. I love serving my church, having coffee with the elderly, helping out with children's church, slowly getting involved in worship team, going out for a young adults night. I can give/share my time, strength, listening ear, talents, gifts, tasteless jokes etc. to lots of people. I have more emotional energy to distribute out whereas I know it would be a different story for me if I was in a relationship or married.
At this point in life, I'm having so much fun getting to know all the people from my church, from the little children to the old timers who pay out all the young adults in good fun. I guess having the joy of being part of a big church family has smothered the inward need to start the process on producing my own family (Which begins with step 1. Find a boyfriend).
