LIVING SINGLE??

This will probably not be the only time I touch upon this subject!!! Today it just happens to be on my mind!

I had a co-worker (whom shall remain nameless) who thinks that I need to find a man! Well, I have been there and done that and all in the wrong way!! She keeps teasing at me trying to tell me I need to go after this person or that person.

She wants to know why I am not interested in this so called "guy" she keeps nagging me about. My telling her that he is not my type is not a good enough reason for her. She wants me to tell her "what my type is".

There may have been a time when I would have looked around and given her a few examples, but I have come a long way since those days!! Not that there aren't some attractive men around, but I am JUST NOT LOOKING RIGHT NOW!!! I hope she reads this and stops!!! I gave her the address to this blog and hopefully she will see it in Black and White!

My answer to her by the way was... I have a man in my life... His name is JESUS!!! He is all the man I need right now! He wants me to work on my life and to be happy with myself before I can learn to be happy sharing my life with someone else! And yes, I am trying to take the Bible very seriously and live my life by GODS WORD! MY LIFE has been so much better since I have done just that!!!!

In fact, I share my life with so very many people, and that makes God very happy!
So, now that I really think about it, and though I really may have to remind myself a lot! I am NOT LIVING SINGLE!! I am living a life filled with CHRIST and many loving people!!

Beth, This one really hit home for me as well, being a single mom and wondering if I am supposed to be searching for a man to fill my void or to help raise my daughter. I found the most peace once I decided that Jesus would be my provider, husband, sould mate, counselor and father of my child. If God wanted a man in my life he would make that abundantly clear!
Love, Jess
