Learning to embrace the fact that I DO want to get married and I DO desire to be with someone now but not allowing it to shift my focus from Christ or disrupt my life. :)Neishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685212153175442456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156216389206918137.post-57116293873874521342013-10-13T13:16:34.430-07:002013-10-13T13:16:34.430-07:00I too have been feeling discontent in my singlenes...I too have been feeling discontent in my singleness. Out of nowhere, God gave me an overwhelming sense of peace in my singleness. I don't want to be single forever, but He has a plan for me.<br /><br />Bailey<br />BecomingBailey.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156216389206918137.post-64086558305711752742013-10-13T12:27:16.974-07:002013-10-13T12:27:16.974-07:00This was so refreshing to read.

So often when reading about single Christians the message is that you should be happy being single because that's what God wants for you or you will never find someone until you have accepted your singleness. But like you I've found the older I've gotten and the more I've grown as a Christian my desire to be a wife & mom has just gotten stronger. And I honestly don't think God would place such a strong desire on my heart if He never planned on fulfilling it. Thanks for sharing and being so honest, it's extremely comforting to know I'm not the only one out there struggling with singleness, and that's it's okay to struggle as long as it's not defining me.

The best kind of relationship is one where you know he stands equal to you, especially in matters of faith. You are a beautiful, talented woman. Don't settle for the first guy that notices you, but wait to find one that is worth getting to know. Also, God knows exactly what you are going through and has not forgotten you.leeleehttp://leeleewrites.com/two-truths-revealed/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156216389206918137.post-80004914355522990192013-10-12T15:18:40.395-07:002013-10-12T15:18:40.395-07:00Yes--as long as you're not allowing the discon...Yes--as long as you're not allowing the discontent to control your life or keep you from being happy and enjoying life. I believe marriage is a good thing and a worthy thing to want...but in all practicality, marriage to a guy who doesn't share your faith isn't going to be much fun, and I think that's one of the best and most practical motivations when it comes to saying "no" to the guys who aren't pursuing God.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156216389206918137.post-82939067581126509562013-10-12T14:49:49.440-07:002013-10-12T14:49:49.440-07:00Jess, thank you so much for being so transparent w...Jess, thank you so much for being so transparent with us! I'm going through the exact same thing. The closer I get to Jesus, the more these guys come out of no where, but we've got to keep fighting against our own flesh, and as you said, keep pressing forward. I'm so happy I stumbled upon your blog, I look forward to reading more of your posts. You are truly a blessing!

Sometimes I think I will be single and alone for ever but I know God has someone picked out for me and I will meet this amazing guy when God feels its the right time for me to do so. ~Anchored In Christ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07178471494760325711noreply@blogger.com
