When Happy Seems Far Away

As single women, we often feel that this is a time in life to "get through". We long for the day our man sweeps us off our feet. We secretly plan our future wedding (don't deny it, you know you do). We imagine what lazy days will be like after we're married. How our hubby will treat us. And somewhere in the middle of all that dreaming, we lose our sense of peace and contentment.

To Be Seen

Many times in our season of singleness, we feel unloved or left out. Our friends may be getting married or having babies. They may have a "prospect" or a "guy friend" and you've got nothing. Trust me I can relate to that one.

Those Who Are Called

Oh Paul, if only it were that easy. Paul didn't have to answer to his Great Aunt Bessie at every family wedding, who lamented over whether or not he would ever find the right girl and settle down.   Paul didn't have a mother who kept hounding him about making her a grandmother.  Paul wasn't playing house at preschool, didn't receive Wedding Day Barbie for Christmas.  He wasn't surrounded by Bridal Magazines on every check out shelf, nor was he feeling like he was "always the groomsman, never the groom".
