singleness

[collegekid]

do you see your singleness as a gift? or a curse?

 

[Living4Him03]

sometimes as a gift...most of the time though I wish I were not single. But, I know that God will bring me the man I'm supposed to be with when both of us are ready so we can serve Him together. It's just hard waiting and can be very discouraging at times, especially since I'm not really the "type" of most guys, which means I could be waiting awhile to find the right one.

I'm not single anymore (far from it actually) and when I was single I thought that it was a curse, but now I realize that it was actually a blessing. If I had been with someone at the wrong time then I would have never gotten to be with the man that I'm about to marry. I love you Fearfully Made!

Mostly I think it's a gift, sometimes it feels like a curse. Right now it feels like a great gift and I am very happy to be single, especially when I think of where I could have ended up had I made different choices in life.

singleness is a gift..even though i know sometimes it doesnt seem like it..but like i have been reading from one of Joyce meyers books..be positive..trust God..enjoy were you are at!

be content as God says no matter were you are in life..it is hard..i must say that.i ant no perfect at it at all..but we learn..and sometimes as I am..we dont want too...but i know as truth..if you let God do His work..you will see that things get down alot better and quicker...trust God..and enjoy what you have

I see it as neither. I see it as a phase that I am going through right now, to prepare me for the stage of marriage. Do I want to be with someone, of course. Do I want to be with just anyone?- Of course not. Do I like being single?- Well, it has great benefits. Do I want to stay single forever- Of course not. I believe I am still very young- and I will be out of this soon. I might as well enjoy the ride.

I see it as a state of being - neither a gift nor a curse. It has both benefits and difficulties. I'm sure marriage is the same way. I'm perfectly fine with staying single indefinitely if that's God's plan for me.

It is nice to be able to stay up late watching The Outsiders without a husband telling me to go to sleep or that they don't wanna watch that But then again, that actually might be pretty nice.

I wouldn't call it a curse, but at the same time, It ain't a blessing either!

it's kinda just what happenin' at the moment!

No worries though...

At first it was nice to not have any one around but now i'm getting where I want to meet some one and settle down with them ,although i'll most likely end up being single forever which would be a curse but either way i'm just leaving it in God's hands I know he has a plan .

Sometimes I think it's a blessing, when I look at all the bad relationships out there. I don't think I think of it as a curse anymore, but there are times when I'd really like to have someone special. It'd be fun.

 

[Multi-Elis]

see it as neither. I see it as a basic state of being. I daydream of mariage sometimes, but do not see it as the answer to any search for happiness. I think that as long as I enjoy what I'm doing, enjoying life, then I'll be happy single or married. It makes no difference. It's funny, sometimes I wonder if I am "normal" because of these thoughts/feelings. Most people don't seem to be able to relate. But then maybe I just look at things too rationally.

I honestly can't remember the last time I could classify myself as really 'single', as in 100% completely available... but there have sure been a lot of nights where I have felt alone and wished there was someone there with me. But sometimes it's nice to have a giant bed all to myself...


I can't say it can be classified as a blessing or a curse, it's all what you want to make of it...

 

[Blank123]

I used to think it was a curse, but then I watched some of the girls I know go from one bad relationship to even worse ones, and now I look at it as a blessing. when the time is right I'll meet the guy I'm supposed to be with, but for now I think I'm supposed to be focused on my relationship with the Lord

 

[Walk in Faith]

I figure its better to focus on your relationship with God and how you serve him, during your "single time". Then when the time comes and you meet that special someone, it will be a true blessing for you.

I like being single (though I wouldn't exactly call it a gift). I'd like to get married someday, but I don't spend time worrying about it. I know that God will take care of it.

 

[LegomasterJC]

I think of it as a blessing and I don't plan to rush into any relationship. I am not even searching. I am, however, beginning to long for a companion and pray frequently for the Lord to watch over her, help her keep herself for me etc...

do you see your singleness as a gift? or a curse?

Yes.

I would have to say it's more of a gift then a curse, but it does have it's down points.

i know how you feel. i honestly love being single, but there is alway an emptyness there. i long for a life-partner and am constanty in prayer for whoever she is.

God knows. I wish i did. one day... but for now i am simply preparing and learning for that day.
