I've struggled with my singleness for a long time, though it has especially bothered me now that I am into my 30's. The Lord has been working on me lately, and your articles were a great help! Thank you. :) Jeannie,

I have a question though. How do you deal with potential suitors who are not...your "type." My point is that as bad as I would like to be married I am believing God for my hearts desire including a man I am actually attracted too. I just wanted you ladies opinion on that doodle.

I only just read this article (obviously it was written and published quite a while ago!) but I wanted to thank you, Jeannie, for taking the time and putting forth the effort to write such an encouraging, God-glorifying article! Praise the Lord for laying it on your heart! It blessed me very much, and how glad I am that you wrote it! Also, thank you, YLCF, for what you are accomplishing through this site. This is the second time I've been on here, and I'm excited to read more! Having no sisters (no biological sisters, that is. I have a great many "sisters" in Christ!), I must say I GREATLY appreciate the opportunity provided to fellowship with other young ladies of similar mindsets! - THANK YOU SO MUCH! Hello!

Jeannie’s thoughts are based on the almost universal assumption that most people are destined for the ‘completion’ of marriage, a completion which illustrates our completeness in Christ.

I do believe that there are some people who long to be married and have longed to be married for the longest time, and those are the people that need to be married. But I do not believe that just because a person is single, they are incomplete. There have been some people, historically, in the Bible, such as Jeremiah, and some people have debated about whether Paul was, who were single, but it never says that they were unhappy about their single state. Some people are single for a season, granted,but some are single for a lifetime. Take Corrie Ten Boom, for instance. God gives some the gift of marriage, some the gift (I should say the GRACE =) of singleness, and some He asks to remain single for His purposes. Yes, it is rare, but God's ways are higher than our ways. I admit I have struggled with the grace that's been given to me of singleness, at times, but it doesn't mean that I am incomplete. In God's word it says, that we are "complete in Christ." Thank you for taking time to read this.
