I’m even more thankful for my single state tonight as I realize that when you are in a relationship/especially when you get married, single people problems don’t just magically go away, instead they are amplified.
I know that I am never even going to be close to perfect, but I do want to make sure I have big issues worked out in my life before I attach my life to someone else’s. I also want to wait for God’s best for me and don’t want to date someone because it’s convenient, or right now they are good enough.
I’m constantly reminded of Andy Stanley’s message this year from Passion about the bowl of stew and I find myself constantly saying “do you want this now, or do you want your awesome future husband later.” I of course want my awesome future husband later, even though waiting does suck sometimes.
However, the waiting process is made easier when I get to hang out with all of the friends I love so much. :-) I love Starbucks at Christmas time with friends and sitting around trying to name all the presidents. Yes, this is my life, and no, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
