Icequeen, I hope that you are having a better day today. I'm sure that you have heard these scriptures before, just thought that I'd give you a friendly reminder. :) When the feeling of lonliness tries to creep up on you pray, you don't have to accept that feeling. For the JOY of the Lord is your strength. God loves you and He understands.

I was once single and longing for a mate but I didn't get him until my focus was God and my desire for God and longing for a closer relationship with him outweighed the desire for a mate. This may not be your situation but just thought I'd leave something to ponder.

Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.


Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

Psalm 37:4
4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

The last part of the last sentence in the post you quoted says that. In effect, you are repeating what I said.

Did I miss something else that you are trying to say here?

I know! If I didn't have my nice shoes on I'd be walking off into the ocean.

In order to break the curse of singleness, say the following 3 times without making an error:
  1. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
    A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked
    If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
    Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
  2. Betty Botter bought some butter
    But she said the butter’s bitter
    If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter
    But a bit of better butter will make my batter better
    So ‘twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter
  3. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
    He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much wood
    As a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood

*Lynx raises his hand... er, paw.

I can say all those. I like alliterations. When somebody drops a spray bottle of butter at w*rk I make a comment about a bent butter bottle, and when the bottle will no longer spray of course I mention the broken butter bottle.

But I'm still single... This was a scam!

Why are there so many single Christians and why are a single Christian so difficult to find?

So many say they are lovely.

So many even say they are miserable.

Why can't God call the lonely people together and make us more whole and in line with what was intended at the creation.

Can being single really be a blessing?

Well. I have free access to the remote control, but no one to watch a good movie with.

This is not a dating site. Oh. I know. And this is not an attempt to find myself a husband. I guess that project has failed. So I find myself doomed to be single.

Just an observation, but your name (icequeen) might sound a little harsh to others, if by chance you were to be open to finding someone on here. Just saying.....

Not at all. First of all she has absolutely no idea whatsoever how much money I have. Secondly there is no doubt at all whatsoever that she could care less about money, and she has proven this consistently over two and a half years. And I could care less about money as well, it means nothing to me.

And because of this (and despite your strident protestations) she's going to get it all lol.

I am looking forward to the next episode of "I married a secret millionaire"

If no Christians married,then how would they be fruitful and multiply? It would have to be from sex outside of marriage. Peter had a mother in law, so I'm pretty sure he was married :)
