No one should complain or be negative for longer than 1.6 seconds. So, I will make this brief.
Will someone please explain to me why most of my single friends view singleness as a trial sent by God to plague them?!? Grrrrrrr. This has been grating on me for a while and I just finally feel the need to (however indirectly) address it. While no one knows better than me the obvious benefits to matrimony, I find it poor logic to say my singleness is a
trial. Whatever happened to the simple idea of "God's Perfect Timing"?
Maybe my estimation of the single life is a trifle different than the norm. I have found that I can posess all the emotions/wishes of the single, christian woman and still not demote myself to a secondary lifestyle while waiting for my mate to arrive. Of course someday I would love to be married. Maybe tomorrow if God deemed it right. But, I hardly think I can liken myself to Job and his suffering by the mere station of singleness.
Let's rule out the drama and save the term "trial" for the real stuff. Seriously, people, Do something with yourself!
Besides, the word
single comes from the biblical greek word "Haplous", meaning whole. (Greek Lexicon)
Awesome, huh?
P.S. I hate drama.
