Hey, a singles forum would be great! Sometimes it just helps knowing you are not the only one going through this crazy life as a single. That there are others who are in the same place you are.
Hyas, 23 here and single.
It aint easy specially when everyone around ya gets into a relationship, married or children. I'm sure all u singles can relate to the feelings like what am i doing wrong etc.
But God is so awesome. I just know that I am in the right place right now, doing what He wants with my life and following His path. So yeah its hard sometimes to be single but at same time I know that God is with me and that its more important to be close to and focus on Him then to some guy. And then my life is like in a very changing time lately so its easier to be single now and to be free to make certain choices.
Yeah, I can symapthize with a lot of what is on here.
I'm 18 and have never dated. I don't plan on that anytime soon as I am praying and waiting rather than dating. . .
My parents have made no secret that they want me to at least start looking for a relationship, and the grandchildren thing is of course there, they say they want some while they are still alive. . .but right now I want to focus on ministry and preparing for future ministry, for the most part.
Worse yet, a rumor once got started (it was squashed rather quickly as it was so obviously false) that I was a lesbian.
I wish people would not be so quick to presume.
I am new and moving this up as I happened to find it while reading something else. As a single person in another state, with no family around, my question is this. How will you be spending the aproching holidays?
I am the singles ministry leader of my church and I have opened my home to all of my singles that do not have family or do not get along with their family. We will all get together and have dinner on Thanksgiving day.
definitely cool, a way to get to know more people and to share love around.
um, i'm gonna be finishing exams and there's a three months holiday waiting for me, so i signed up to be a volunteer, hope i'll get a volunteer position that suits me!
We have not decided what to do for Christmas yet but the one thing we do know is that we will wait until after our Christmas musical to work on that and maybe even plan something for New Years eve as well.
Reckon I'd be the new kid on the block. Unless I was sad, then I'd be the blue kid on the block......Newsflash: Humor ain't my strong point
So, hi to everyone. Seen a couple a y'all over at LB.
I love being single, plus God has called me to do so, It was tough at first, but now I have piece and contentment.all my christian friends are married. and I don,t see them very much. and the one,s that are single, work different shifts, and it does get bored sometimes, But God is good, and he always forfills all are needs. and he replaces are pain with his love and his grace.
I am glad to see this thread has revived a bit! Maybe we can keep it going this time.
Good post George. Always a good reminder that God can fulfill all we need. I don't think I am called to be single, but I am not sure. Sometimes being single is fine and I love it. Other times it is not so great. Now, I am just depending on the Lord to show me what He has in store for me. And I know it will be far better than anything I can plan for myself!
A Singles forum would be great. I know that it is very hard to be single when people do not understand you. It can be a challange to lead a Christ centered life when there are just so many things going on in your life and people are always talking about you.
A Single has to have a life that is different from anyone else. My Singles all hang out together and because we had only one man in our class for the longest time, people were asking him if he were dating all of us.
I am more intrested in counciling my singles not dating them, I am more intrested in their spiritual well being then in their social lives. We have all talked about how if God wants us married He will make choices available to us that would be apropriate to even consider.
The thing is finding a Christian that is really a Christian and not someone who is saying that because that is what they think you want to hear. That is one of the hardest things we face. We also have to face where to go for our dates, if we do not drink, then we do not want to hang out in a bar, or we do not want to see a movie that is nothing but sex because that is not a good choice either. So what do you do???????
i'm single too...last time i was home my dad asked if i wanted to be set up....
I'm just waiting for God, it's hard sometimes, especially trying to explain it to non-christian friends and when most of your friends are in relationships, but i know it's the right thing.
I've been with my boyfriend for... well, a long time. Especially for someone our age. Going on 2 years. And I plan to never be single ever again, because I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him... yay!
