    Dear ruby, These are very valuable and profound thoughts, thank you for sharing them. I think I understand exactly what you mean about how God will use each of his children to give expression to his being and his love in a different way. This in itself is gives a more profound meaning to our...

    Hello ruby, Thanks for your reply and thanks for telling me about your friends. I am always interested in hearing stories of life changes and new beginnings later in life... You know, this narrative is so pervasive today, that we need to look inside to find our passions, like a treasure we...

    Christian single & childless women 40+, what is our purpose in life?

    Hello Jeff, I have read Corries Biography many years ago. It was one of the few biographies I have read, because it was on my parents' bookshelf when I was a teenager. Maybe I could read more biographies, I tend to find them tedious and prefer crime mysteries :sorry:. Corrie really was a Saint...

I have never actively searched for a mate, and I don't fall in love like other women. I feel weird but that's how I am, I avoid talking about it...

    Christian single & childless women 40+, what is our purpose in life?

    Thank you dayhiker for your perspective. You are right, I can love God and love people independent of my marital status. I have been a friend to many people through the years, and some of those friendships have been very unlikely ones. My friendships never seem to last very long (because I move...

    Christian single & childless women 40+, what is our purpose in life?

    Hello blackribbon, thanks for your reply. No, I did not start my adult life with the expressed intention of having a mate and a family. Although you have to admit that it is pretty much the standard blueprint for a happy and fulfilled life, isn't it? So I always thought that is what I would end...

    Hello, Are there any Christian women here who are around 40 and single? Are you ever struggeling with the question what your purpose is in life? I am 38, I never had a relationship and I am not not looking for a partner. I am coming to the end of my childbearing years, so I am fairly certain...
