I am very interested in these stories because people (in one case, a close relative) prophesied that I would have a husband and 4 children (2 boys, 2 girls.)
It never came to pass, and my time for having children is over. People tell me, "Remember Sarah and Abraham!" But I'm not them -- I don't have extreme wealth to help care for a family, and I'm most certainly not going to try to obtain it by trying to push the boundaries of medical science.
This is just me though -- I can't speak for anyone else.
Then people will say something like, "Well maybe you'll marry a man with 4 kids," and to me, I can't believe in "prophecies" where the target keeps moving. Besides, the original person who "confirmed" I would have them was convinced it would be by birth (which was a little off to begin with, as I had originally prayed for 2 by birth and 2 by adoption.) Not that God couldn't have worked this out of course.
I just believe that whatever I was told was wrong. And it doesn't bother me anymore, as God has set my sights on other things.
But for many years, I was very wrapped up in all this, and I worry about the people it will hurt if these things don't come true.
I hope everything comes to pass as God wills for you, and I'm looking forward to hearing about your journey.

well i will say this dont just be patient to wait on the phrophesy keep your eyes open it may be in Gods will for you to be married maybe just not as was exactly spoken to you. I also how ever realize adoption could be another way God answers the children question but like i said anything is possible.

I know it's always said that with God, anything is possible, but I think there comes a point where reality has to be considered too.
No doctor in their right mind would advise me to get pregnant at this point in my life. And even adoption would take years to go through. Is God greater than these things? Of course. Could He change them in a heartbeat? Of course.
I spent a good portion of my life envying what others had. I was also around single people who were desperate to find someone -- and I certainly understand that. But everything started to change for me when I met other single people who were out living life, doing all teh things I wanted to do, and were happy whether single or with the thought of meeting someone some day.
For me, the real life factor is that my friends and peer group have grandkids, or will probably be having them in the next few years. At this stage in life, I honestly don't want to be the one with 4 babies. I truly believe that time has passed, and the people who told me those things either misunderstood, or were wrong. And I've accepted that.
I just hate seeing other people get hurt in the same ways.
I'm very grateful for what I have in life and God enables me care for other singles, which I personally find fulfilling -- much more so at this stage than if I were starting out with a family.

I'm truly sorry for the lengthy posts.
I've often wondered if I have dyslexia or some kind of learning disorder along with ADHD. My brain seems to run in cycles, sometimes a bit haphazardly. But the people I know who have gone for diagnosis have been put on drug cocktails, and I don't want that.
I appreciate you participating in these threads, Susanna.
Thank you for all the work and efforts you put into being here with us! ❤️

Thank you so much.
I think one of the problems in my younger years is that I was coveting a lot. I coveted people who had someone; I coveted those who were married; I coveted those with families to go home to. And I was around other singles who had the same kind of feelings, which only made it worse. We were all wishing for things we didn't have, thinking God needed to land them on our doorstep as soon as possible.
Once I started to meet people who were happy with their own lives, whom God was using to serve plenty of others in fulfilling roles, and who genuinely enjoy what they've been given in life, it started to change me -- for the better. Most of the jealousy and bitterness melted away (but of course, there are still some things I'm working on!)
This is one of the reasons I stay here on CC. I'm hoping to inspire other people to be happy with what God has given them as well, to keep setting goals, to keep planning trips, or to at least build a community to support each other as we all walk through our trials together.
I know you're going through your share of challenges as well, and I find your attitude to be very inspiring. You have purpose and hope, and you pass that along to other people in your words.

The fitness community is definitely inspiring, albeit, a little intimidating, lol! I'm in a chat where they'll post inspirational quotes and memes from those huge bodybuilders -- not really my style, but hearing the dedication the other chatters have helps keep me motivated.
We're all trying our best to make progress, no matter where we are in our journeys.
I often think things like, "Oh, what shape would I be in if I had been able to stick to working out 5 days a week!"
But, all I can do is try to make sure that I get around to it the next chance I have.
