Zyra,
The man God has for you is WORTH WAITING FOR!! God's timing is not the same as our own...believe me, I know and understand this as I had my eyes fixed on marrying a Godly man by 25...LOL....10 years on and Im STILL waiting! hahaha..
The waiting is never easy, however, the bible clearly states the advantages of singleness. I have served as a missionary in another culture, I have moved around my country working with youth, I have toured in a band for a year.....all this, because I was free to be able to GO wherever God called me to go, and I still am ready, willing and able!
Yes there will be lonely times....especially as you see your friends in relationships, marriages and for me - having their 1st, 2nd and 3rd child!! BUT, we must TRUST that the Lord has GOOD plans for our future (Jer 29:11) and that he will direct our paths (Prov 3:4&5).
I promised myself I would not settle for anything less than a man who has Christ as his focus, a man who builds me up and encourages me in faith, a man who compliments my weak areas and I compliment his. I do believe God has that in hand...despite my frustration with how long it takes sometimes! Its about being able to come to a place of CONTENTMENT within your circumstances and then go - ok Lord, you know the desires of my heart...I give it all over to you - your will be done. Look for ways to be Jesus' hands and feet...go forward and do what you want to do and dont let singleness be a burden to you!!!
