There's nothing wrong with you m'dear.

I hate when people make a NEW THREAD about something, asking some simple question, when google is one click away with all the answers you will ever need.

It drives me batty.

I can't believe how many of the courses I need to take are already closed and I'm left with no option to register AND I can't even register until the 13th. By then there won't be anything left? I hate this system. It should be first come, first serve, no matter if you're new, returning and no matter what your last name is. This is majorly lame.

My opinion:
You need a night out, maybe just by yourself. Not like a time of hitting up the town or anything extreme. Just if you have the extra money, find a nice place to sit down, have a glass of wine, have some good food, talk to strangers and breathe some fresh air.

Why do they make those tiny bags of peanuts so hard to open? Then once you finally do they just split down the middle and it spills everywhere.

okay...A Venting seriously needed!!!!! Theres not really anything I can do but get on with it but hey i going to vent while waiting!

i've been liking with this very discontented feeling now for quite a while and its driving me insane!!! i took a gap year to The Philippines and while there felt the calling to throw off the idea of Uni and return there full time.

Now i'm here in england waiting for the Funding, but knowing i'm called elsewhere leaves me very discontented. I know that 'All in Gods timing' ect...but oh the waiting frustrates me. everyone keeps asking me when i'm going back to them and I just don't know!!!

I miss it so much, i'm uncomfortable now with the materialism of the west, my family are not saved and don't get the wanting to be a missionary thing...they just think i went on a long cushy holiday and want to waste my life for while longer!...so thats difficult to live with!

Plus being away everything changed...my friends are all and university, made new friends...things carry on without you and its difficult to draft yourself back in knowing you'll be gone again!

I'm trying my best to make the most of where I am and know full well that gods got a plan and his provisin will come in the correct time...but I'm human and waiting is not something i'm wired for!

vent over..i think

If there is one thing I am sick of, it's all the girls I know who are like 23 and think the world is ending because they're graduating from Bible College and they aren't married yet. They spend all their time complaining about how old they are and how clearly they will never be loved.

I just want to smack them. It's like, you do realize that the average age for marriage in our society is somewhere between 28 and 32, right? You've still got like another decade left until you're even close to coming to a point where you're allowed to complain. And the only reason why you feel this way is because you've spent the last few years of your life living in a fantasy world filled with crazy people who think that getting married when you're 19 is an intelligent decision.

If you would just get off your butt and get out into the world and realize that there are all sorts of wondrous opportunities and amazing ways that God can work through you when you're single, then maybe things would look up. But instead you're going to kick around and do nothing until some man decides to romance you and give you a family, and constantly crack half-jokes about finding a convent while you do it. It breaks my heart.

By the way, that wasn't directed to anyone on here. That just seems to be a common thread with the girls I know.

I'm right there being only 19 and a missionary, alot of my Christian friends my age are engaged or married and i'm like...hello i'm not even looking for a relationship on this side of the planet!
...seriously sometimes being single lets you do God work just that little bit better!

Seriously. Especially when we've got all these 19 year old guys who have got absolutely no idea who they are, but they say things like "I know that God has called me to be a pastor and I am absolutely sure that this is what I want to do with my life and I don't need to take the time to figure things out because God has laid this right on my heart." They find a girl who'd make a good pastor's wife, make a lifetime commitment to her, and then goes off.

Thirty years later his career crashes and burns and his marriage is in shambles. Hmmm, what happened? How could someone so sure of himself be so wrong?

I just think getting married that young is insane. Like at least if you're single, if you realize you've chosen the wrong career, you can pack up and leave town and get another education with minimal fuss. But if you get married too young, I dunno. I mean, how do you tell your wife who's spent her entire life learning how to bake cookies and play the piano so that she can be the perfect pastor's wife that she'll have to be the family's main supporter while you go back to school? I mean God can throw curveballs no matter what age you are, but I just feel as though if they'd married later in life, and the man had already figured out that he didn't want to be a pastor, and the woman already had some marketable job skills from supporting herself when she was single, things would be so much easier.

Maybe that's just me, though.

Oh noes. I must get married now before the door closes. I'm sorry. I'm 32 years old and this amused me just a little. I would want to smack them, too. I don't understand why people are in such a hurry to get married so young. Not that I planned to be single this long, but I'm glad that I didn't rush into a marriage young either.

Hahaha I know right? Keep waving that Single flag high and proud until God says otherwise, is what I say.

I agree. The first time I was a groomsman (and I'm sure there will be several more!) it was for my friend Isaac and his bride Lauren. She was 18 and he was 20. Now they weren't the Bible college people that you guys are talking about and I think they are a rare exception to this "rule" we are talking about. They are seemingly solid - in their marriage and their faith. If I had to go to any type of war - spiritual or real - I'd want Isaac in the hole next to me.
But how many people do I know like him? ZERO
There are way too many people whining (and I'm sure I've done it too) about they are XX years old and will never find their mate. What a line of CRAP!!!
ARGH!!!

and secondly...does no one care about my Venting?

 

[Thunder Peel]

Vent time!

Comcast absolutely sucks. Seriously, why does anyone actually enjoy getting slow internet and crappy cable from these people? Today I had to install an annoying box onto my TV just to get basic cable. What is this, 1995? Who still uses those old pieces of crap in the digital age?

Rest assured that my next cable and internet provider will be anyone other than Comcast. I'm tired of their crummy service, outdated ideas and ridiculous strategies to try and bully people into paying more.

well I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I don't always identify (I'm a bit older and male so this will happen). Regardless, I ABSOLUTELY care.
