sad

hmm.

do you think its wrong to mourn a little for what you don't have?
i have been going through a bit of that lately. I turned 33 a couple
of months ago and it hit me very hard that because i still haven't
married and have not met anyone that i could marry, so i might
not have children. I got very depressed

Just typing that makes me want to cry. I feel like i'm missing out.


hellp!

I don't see why not... I would pray a lot about it. You never know what might be waiting for you just around the corner.
Right when I am about to give up on something, something good always shows up right then.

I have a friend who is around 42/43 and she is still single and does not have any children. She still plans to get married and have children, God willing! You've still got time...you never know who you'll meet tomorrow or where God will take you! Pray about this!

There are women who can have children in their late 30's and even their 40s.

I can certainly empathize with you. I have days like that myself!

But, something that I think the Lord has been showing me is that when I focus on all that I don't have, I totally miss some of the awesome things that I do have! God has blessed me with so much. And if I spend time looking at what I am missing, I may be missing out on using what he has given me to be a blessing to someone else. Now that doesn't mean that in my private time with God that I don't talk to him about my situation, cause sometimes He gets a earful! But I also try to ask Him to show me how to use what He has so generously given me. I have found that when I start to focus on others and helping others, my "don't have's" seem to fade away and they don't seem as important anymore.

's and 's for you!

Read or listen to "Our Unmet Needs" by Charles Stanley. It might be a comfort to you.

thanks so much for all your wonderful replies... i'll definitely remember them.

guess i was just having a bad day... i do try to focus on the positive, but sometime it just sneaks up on me, especially lately. i'm just not where i thought i'd end up.
