Comments on: Seasons of Singleness – Part One http://ylcf.org/2008/02/seasons-of-singleness-part-one/ YLCF Mon, 21 May 2012 16:58:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Another Anonymous http://ylcf.org/2008/02/seasons-of-singleness-part-one/#comment-12561 Another Anonymous Sun, 19 Dec 2010 23:35:55 +0000 http://ylcf.org/wordpress/2008/02/seasons-of-singleness-part-one/#comment-12561 Very interesting article. Trust me even in other "seasons" it doesn't get easier. I'm nearly 50 and I've been divorced for over 20 years. I never dreamed I'd still be single at this time, and yeah I tried all the stuff the world advises us to do...only to wind up feeling worse. It's true, there is no other thing to do but wait on the Lord. I'm glad to have read this article to remind myself of this. If God wills for me to find a husband at my "later" season of life, then it will happen, if not then not. Very interesting article. Trust me even in other “seasons” it doesn’t get easier.

I just turned 30 and have struggled with the "death" of my dream to be married. Many do suggest that you should be happy all by yourself, while coming home to yourself daily, enjoying your career all by yourself, spending precious moments all by yourself, but yet these well meaning people are married and are in no hurry to give up their spouses. However, Anonymous post helped me to realize that the struggle that I am having emotionally with singleness is nothing new and that opening my options and waiting on Gods timing is essential. I really appreciate her last part that gives insight into the real deal of marriage, the part that the fairytale stories fail to mention. Thank you as I wait on God's timing.

I'm only 18, but your post spoke to me very profoundly. Recently, I've been going through a very trying time with regard to singleness. It's a VERY long story, but let's just say that I tend to try to cover up my emotions. Note to self: That doesn't work! <br/>Thank you again for your wonderful post!

I haven't been waiting as long as some girls, but several of my friends just my age have recently been married... and I don't even have a fellow!<br/><br/>I'm still very young, and haven't been experiencing the feelings of waiting for long, but it can be painful no matter what your age. Your post was beautiful and most timely in bringing things back into perspective. Thanks for the beautiful post!
