A young lady commented on last week’s “Seasons’ Perspectives” that she sometimes felt sad because she was single with no prospects in sight. This reminded me of some of the courtship stories on our site. There are quite a few testimonies of young ladies who seemed to have no hope of getting married because there was no one around. A few examples:
I am sure that there are more, but this is a good start. If any readers have thoughts or encouragement they would like to pass along, do send it our way.
And if the blog does not have new material everyday you know it is because I’m so busy I often forget to eat, much less make sure things like blogs are up-to-date. But thanks for your patience…I’ll make sure that at least three times a week an article is published. Beyond that…we’ll have to see.
thanks for the post. i totally understood where some of the ladies were coming from. i think it’s even harder when you see yourself nearing your thirties and still no one in sight. you know that you want a family more than anything and you’re doing everything you know to do to get closer to God and not think about it. but it’s always in the back of your mind. i enjoy YLCF and find most of its articles encouraging (even the ones on marriage). I have to admit, though, that i read in moderation. it’s like you realize that God hasn’t chosen that for you right now…but it doesn’t ease the pain. so, we singles just work around it and with each visit see what works that day and what may be better to leave alone.
Natalie, thank you so much for your continued concern about and commitment to YLCF. I’m always thrilled when I find a new post and am most impressed that you’re remembering to post at all, at this time in your life! I’m praying for you!
