Mo Mo!!!..

I just thought I'd pop in and say 'hi'.....
How is school going for you, sweetie?
Also, I thought I'd include a response to your question:
There are times in my life when I feel the very same way that you are feeling right now, m'ita. As it stands, I have seen friends of mine get into serious relationships with other people, I've seen some walk down the aisle..some have had children...some have graduated from college, are going on to get their Master's & already have decent-paying jobs. Sometimes, that's tough to witness...and
not because you cannot feel happiness for them in their situations per se, but rather, I think it has more to do with the idea that you cannot really identify with them in those particular instances...sometimes, differences can distance two people. True, sometimes in life, friendships have to break apart b/c priorities have changed (there are
many different types of friendships we experience in our lives)...or people have moved & so on and so forth. It requires alot more effort to sustain these friendships, where the friends involved might have abit less to relate to~does this make any sense lol??
All I know is that I am 26, single & have never had any
serious boyfriend thus far~I am also a sophomore in college & cannot afford to pay rent right now, outside of living with a few people. The financial situation is my fault ~I own up to that...it is simply because of poor planning on my part. The schooling thing doesn't phase me a whole lot b/c I highly doubt that I was ready to even
make that kind of commitment back when I was 19. I did not even
consider my college until ~2 yrs ago, when I worked with this one girl who had enrolled there. Peices fell into place & I fell in love with the school..it all worked out from there. The serious relationship issue has pretty much the same rationale to it~LOL...I was
definately not interested in committing to the guys I'd met at school (and they were definately not interested in committing to me....or both..lol wait, what!??). I got bored really easily & could never seem to find anyone that held my attention for longer than a semester. That, and I hate the idea of wasting time on something like a relationship that will never bear any fruit. I found certain qualities I was looking for in a guy...but in different guys. Today, I have seen what I want in a man...but again, the complete package deal has yet to be determined. I have no idea if I have even
met this man, yet. That's okay, though. I am no prize right now, anyway. God knows how much I need for Him to work within me, in order that I may
be the woman of Christ I ought to be for God, first.......second, for those around me....(my husband would be somewhere in the mix..LOL..considering I have one to look forward to). Somedays, I'm like 'the heCk am I doing wrong?' But, then, I remember that
God is seeing to it that I am single right now...there is a huge reason He wants me to remain single & "by myself" and I have to be grateful to Him for knowing more than I do about myself, my current situation.....and my future.
The way I see it, honey...at least, in
your case, is that you have soo
much going for you right now (with school & your own personal walk in Christ, the work that you do
for God~first and foremost)...God is shaping your right now. He's shaping you out to be the woman you
should be when you & your future husband meet. Either that, or your future man is not yet ready for you ~LOL you know how some guys are...

God is preparing
you for the work He has prepared for you to do, perhaps through the things you are already doing. Driving is a luxury...a necessity in some cases but a luxury for alot of people. My ma first got her license less than ten years ago ~and she's 61!!...

Just be patient, sweetie & remember that God does not use the same timetable the we do. He knows you..has formed you & will see to it that He continues working through you. Just be faithful to Him, offer up your petitions to Him & do not be discouraged. God knows what we need & what we don't. But, in any case, please don't stress...you are MUCH younger than I am & you have no reason to think that you ought to be in a serious relationship, have a car or have some gravy-train job right now. If you are following God & are listening to His Words, you are
exactly where you need to be. Do not be discouraged, m'ita...
