I'm not gonna lie. Being single and Christian is hard. Waiting in general is hard. I'm taking it one day at a time trying not to be tempted with certain temptations of this world. Lets face it theres temptation all around us. Some times I just think I'm gonna grow old with a house and my 3 cats. I'll be the crazy cat lady living down the block. haha but no seriously I'm I the only that feels this way ? I mean I pray and stuff but sometimes you just tired of being alone and we weren't meant to be alone as humans. I prayed about this you know? On more then one occasion. Well I've always been told that good things come to those that wait. Well that's all I gotta say about it for now.
Be assured that God knows everything to know about everything there is to know. I'm 72. I was divorced in 1996. I went through every emotion, including despair. Eventually, I decided that I'd had enough and I resigned to remaining single. I had very few friends. My friend and mentor for decades passes away about 10 years ago. I was friendly, but not close to his wife. We grew closer over the years since she was widowed.
We were married October last year. She is a year younger than me. God will use the time to prepare you for the next stage of your life, whatever that may be. However, we have our part to play. Spend time with Jesus. Study His word. Find out who you are in Christ. You could read the first two chapters of Ephesians and write down all that you are in Christ. Thank God for your situation, whatever it is. It could be worse. A lousy marriage is worse than being single.
I've been reading the book of Esther recently. It is amazing what God did through two people. God turned around an impossible situation and brought great blessing out of it. God has no favourites. What He did for Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, Mordecai, David, Ruth and countless others, He can do for you.

She alone makes me glad I'm single.
