I get you about feeling like we say so much, all while wondering if we've really said anything at all.

I can assure you that you are making a difference here. I'm learning from your posts how to better ministry to people.



I completely understand how you feel.

That's another challenge for singles -- having our hopes propped up, only to be kicked out from under us, time and time again.

It's hard to go on believing.

But the one thing that makes the singles here different is our hope is in God.

As I've gotten older, I think a big part of my calling is trying to help other singles cope with life even if we don't find someone. We know that God still has a purpose for us -- and for those who find that their purpose might be something other than marriage, I hope we can all keep each other company.



I appreciate your compassion very much, thank you.

In truth, I look back and know will piercing conviction that I made a lot of wrong decisions myself, not speaking to or respecting him as I should have.

I often pray that someday he can forgive me, too.

My take from searching is:

Make the journey fun.
As if climbing a mountain ⛰, the journey itself is full of magnificence, equally as fun as reaching the top.

Some hiking i didn't reach the top, but the journey itself is well worth the energy, time....

Whether we reach top or not, in God's hand. To enjoy God's leading everyday, in our hands.

According to my own reckoning, which may or may not be accurate, I might have slightly helped two people since joining here. I guess that is better than none. I have reached the point in my life where I don't even want to speak anymore because my words alone seem so ineffective. I've been meditating on the opening verses of Psalm 39 a lot today. The whole psalm, really.​

Psalm 39​

1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
4 Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
12 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

Oh that's easy!

Now days if you see an opportunity to trade up for a younger, sleeker model, you can and justify it by grace and carefully picked scriptures.

You can also trade the poor husband for one with more money. You can justify that one to with grace and carefully picked scriptures... 🙃🙃🙃 🙄

Yes.
Disobedience to scripture teaching. No fear of the Lord.
People do whatever they see right in their own eyes.
