Marriage may or may not be in God's perfect plan for your life, but there are many who do not marry at 18-20, when everyone else seemed to. I was the last in my family and among most of my close friends to marry, and sometimes I thought I never would. I was content with that, and never imagined that this Spring I'd be a bride. But, God knew it, and the few years more that I waited, not even knowing of the guy that I would one day marry, taught me lessons that now I wouldn't trade for anything at all. Keep being faithful in your lot, and God will make all things beautiful- marriage or not- in His time. :) *hugs* Amy, trust your heart and future in God’s hands.

Just the other day I was wondering how other girls do it!!! :) What makes them so much different from me? Anyway... This post was so encouraging!!! Thanks for your honesty! It helps to know that there are others who feel the same way sometimes!

My youngest sister just said to me yesterday, "Mary Beth you should get out more, you know, go to church to meet guys." I chuckled to myself. Tried that...didn't work. My mom says that when we say that we must " go to church" or "get on eHarmony" or "get out more" to find a husband, it is the same as saying that God's arm is too short, or that He cannot orchestrate circumstance to accomplish what concerns me (Psalm 138:8). Yeah. I tend to agree with her! Cheers, girls! I am 34 and loving my wonderful single life...mostly! :) It’s funny.
