Its comforting and encouraging to know that I am not and also how the Lord is working in each of your lives. The Lord is faithful even when I'm not. 2012 was the hard, very hard. With heart break that just kept getting worse at every turn, after I believed I would marry this man. And then there were funerals, countless funerals. And then I had a major job change as well and for a while didn't have consistent income. As much as that might sound like a list of complaints it actually is showing me that even though it was a rough year, I'm still here and have been taught many lessons through it all. God provided for me all along the way, whether that may have been financially or with friends and family support, HE always provided for me. Things have changed very drastically from a year and a half ago and although that may hurt a lot sometimes I'm looking forward to see what God has in store.

Your message spoke to me so much that I couldn't not comment. I too am 27-years-old and facing my 10 year HS reunion this year. This post is exactly how I feel after being in almost 10 weddings to date and attending endless baby showers, bachelorette parties, etc. I dated the same man for 10 years who was not right for me and we ended things a year ago. He is now having a baby with another woman. This has been a year for God to teach me it's okay to be single and wait for the right one with his love and support, but as we both know that is very, very hard. I cry, I stress and wonder if it will ever happen. I have friends who also feel our anxiety, so I know we're not alone in this sentiment. I was so touched by your ability to speak candidly and share your frustrations, which often no one is willing to do. I pray that all of us will meet the right one in God's time. Go to the reunion...have fun and remember you are loved and your life is pretty fabulous serving the Lord and working with Beth Moore. Of course, I know the grass is always greener on the other side, but you should be proud of what you have accomplished and know the Lord has a plan for all of us. Lindsee,

My story is a combination of what has been shared. Was married young (21?) went into it unsure, I had trusted the Lord with many things, but had I done this right? A difficult transistion for me with a traveling husband, lonely and unsure if I'd WANT to be a mom. Waited a long 8 years to answer it. My faith grew, I studied the word and 'worked'at marriage, it was very hard. FINALLY I thought, I'd better try this baby thing! My void then was filled with daughters and their lives, I LOVED having babies it turned out, and now I was crazy in love! They are now wondering, after just finishing college and starting a new life path, these same things, will I marry, what happened to everyone..they have all married!.. and is it over for me...they seem to think already, they have missed it somehow. We have spurratic conversations and I encourage them with the Lord's promises. Thank you all, young women for your stories, struggles, and triumphs of many kinds, I will be sharing your wonderful lives with them, (and perhap a poem..:p)that the Lord is indeed at work and has plans for them. The Lord Bless you and keep you each!

Because I'm "just" a wife with two kids. I felt that most likely everyone else has these awesome careers. Isn't it interesting how the enemy works??
