A good, honest post, dear sister. It is a hard thing to be alone, and even worse to feel (or to be) unwanted. When I get to the first point, being alone, I head for my cot and lie down with the Word of God, and He speaks to my heart there. When I get to the second point, feeling unwanted, I head for my cot and lie down with the Word of God, and He tells me He wants me.
What you want to give is the same as what I want to give, glory to God by serving the sheep of His pasture, helping Him tend and protect them, sometimes helping Him find them.
Jesus is your Lord, dear sister, and He's mine too. Funny, isn't it, that we're both brides of the Bridegroom? See? It has nothing much to do with sex, but a lot to do with love.
Though we don't talk anymore, you're still present in my prayer times. And I am glad to know you exist. God bless you, Laura.
I've been there too, many times, you know. But it does get better. It may take some realizing that life isn't going to go how you thought...but that's what's so great about it. That we don't know, it's all a surprise, each new day, like a gift. And even if his plans aren't what you think, he has good plans - better ones - for you if you take joy in him. There is so much you can do with your single years, perhaps someday you will look back and see how much of a blessing it is. Like, I can't do a lot of things that come my way, it simply isn't possible for me at this point in life to go away on a mission trip or give hours to a charity, honestly, sometimes it's not even possible to read an entire chapter of the Bible straight through and I can't bring people closely into my life I don't know who might be a threat to my kids. I've got responsibilities now that have to come first, but you have a world of opportunity in your grasp. Don't waste it feeling bad!
