Singleness And The Virtuous Woman! Prov. 31:10-31

My life is funny at times, mostly because I'm STILL single. You know like I have a "disease", or you have the ones who are like "Poor Julie. She must be so lonely." I think that's pretty funny because I am not lonely, in fact when I see posts on Facebook like I just saw from a friend who has been married 2 years, she is pregnant, and her husband is having some major problems and they are contemplating divorce, I realize my life is actually just GREAT! I have NO problems! But it's still the tireless questions, I have many people saying "Why aren't you married, or at least dating?" Oh and the constant "I have the perfect person I want you to meet..." The "fixer uppers" as I like to call them always make me laugh because once the person starts telling me about this "perfect person", after about 30 seconds I am like "no thanks." Some people have the concept that if you're single, you're not "complete". Trust me, I do not need a man to complete me, I need GOD to complete me. If I don't have Him, nothing will complete me. I'm not really sure where this idea comes that being single is a bad thing. It's all in what you make of it. I'm not saying NO to marriage, but if that "right person" doesn't come along, well life goes on, and I will serve God through singleness. I have dated enough jerks in the past to know that I don't want just anyone for my husband. I can honestly say if I had married some of the guys from my past, we probably wouldn't be married today because spiritually, they are not what I'm looking for. God knows best, and HE is the one in charge of my love life, not the "fixer uppers"! I love the verses in Proverbs about the Virtuous Woman. Check it out if you get a chance: Prov. 31:10-31. If I do get married, I pray that I can live by these verses. Dating is hard these days, and the older I get, the harder it is to find someone. I write this blog today for all the "singles" out there reading this...don't settle just because you think it might be your "last chance". God will bless you with that right person if you wait, and trust in him to take care of it. So enjoy your singleness while you have it, don't look at it as a bad thing. God is using you, just trust Him! To those of you who are married, and have wonderful marriages, I commend you because I know very few couples who are happy, so if you're marriage is great, I want to thank you for giving us who are not married yet, HOPE!! Have a blessed day!!!
