As many of you know I have always wanted to be married and have a family of my own. I can still remember holding my brother the day he was born for the first time and telling my family "he's mine! I want to have this!" That desire is even stronger today.
When talking to a good friend today about being young woman with that same desire and waiting for "Mr. Right" to come along. I felt relief knowing I'm not the only one! (Not that I'm glad she's single though.) =)
I suddenly wanted to write to all the other single women out there waiting for the one God has for them to let them know they are not alone. There are other women out there is your same situation. Watching many of our friends, a good portion of them younger than us getting married. Listening to our friends talk forever about how perfect he is and all the wonderful things he does for her, but while being extremely happy for her a list of questions keep going through your mind.
"Why not me?"
"Is there something wrong with me?"
"Did I do something wrong?"
"Am I not enough of a Proverbs 31 woman?"
"Am I not feminine enough?"
"Am I not smart enough?"
"Am I not pretty enough?"
I jokingly told my friend that Sleeping Beauty's prince charming came to her when she was only sixteen! I have three options, to believe that my prince charming is running years late, that fairy tales don't exist or I should go take a long nap.
I know it's not easy and it gets disheartening, I struggle with it every day, but I will tell you the same thing my Mother repeatedly tells me. There is nothing wrong with you! It's just that God is still preparing you and the young man for each other.
So take heart, keeping hoping and the day will come when you get to call your all friends and talk endlessly about the great guy you have. ;)
