However when I do feel the presence of Jesus I literally don't want a husband as a distraction for me. Sometimes I read books about falling in love with Jesus from married woman and I have 2 thoughts. One is a longing to have a husband that is also totally in love with Christ.. for I wont bother with anyone else. The second thought is I feel a little sorry for them, having to squeeze in time with Jesus while raising a family and building a marriage. Over the last 2 nights alone I have spents hours with the Lord. Just him and me. We ate and we danced and we cuddled and we chatted. And as much as I do long for human intimacy I still hesitate to trade in my precious moments with the Lord. That is the true blessing of being single. If I marry or if the Lord wants me all to himself is his choice.. but because I love him so much, I just want whatever it is that He wants.

I disagree with parts of that article. You...Megan,<br /><br />I disagree with parts of that article. You will never see or hear me say that marriage is not a gift or that falling in love with Jesus should somehow diminish a desire for marriage. Not so. I think marriage is, like Scripture says, honorable! My goal in writing to singles, is to encourage them to SEIZE those years to draw closer to Christ and make Him their number one source of fulfillment. I don't care what anyone says, if you aren't 100% satisfied with just Jesus, you won't be 100% satisfied with just marriage. <br /><br />Just like marriage is a gift, singleness is a gift as well. The reason I talk, what appears to be, MORE about singleness is because we are conditioned to be unfulfilled UNLESS we are in a relationship. When we find joy in singleness, we find many amazing blessings. The point of your pre-marriage season is to PREPARE for marriage, not waste it away by trying to make a relationship happen. Redeem the time. :) There is joy in waiting, just like there is joy in becoming one with your spouse. :)<br /><br />http://wherejoyis.blogspot.com/2013/06/things-you-shouldnt-say-to-single-girl.html<br /><br />Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01937617050831611588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164751189889587877.post-24095180433757398962014-02-14T08:59:57.992-08:002014-02-14T08:59:57.992-08:00Here is a link to a lovely article from Relevant M...Here is a link to a lovely article from Relevant Magazine about what not to say to Christian singles.
