“There’s a balance between wishing for something more and not ignoring what’s already here”. Again, so true. That is what I have been working on learning and doing this past year. Instead of sitting and wondering what life will be like with a boyfriend and who it’ll be, instead I am just enjoying times hanging out with my friends, knowing that the romance will be there eventually and until then, what’s the use of worrying?

Indeed one of the best. Thank you for that tug on my perspective.

I agree with Deidre, ONE of the best things you’ve written on your blog and something I really need to remember right now.

I know the feeling…I need to find that balance, I know I need to, it has actually been weighing on my heart for awhile now, yet I do nothing about. I’m going to work really hard at spending more time with Him, then wishing he (my one-day-husband-to-be) would find me.

I can definitely sympathize with you there.:) It is difficult to find the balance between desiring a family of your own and simply enjoying the life and journey that God presently has you on. I guess there is no other alternative than to presently wreck yourself with the unmatchless lover who is Jesus Christ! ..as if this should be alternative#2. Lord, help us to do this!

Last night was the third night in a row that I had every intention of spending time in my “prayer closet” but didn’t get around to it Thank you for the reminder of how important it is to spend quality time with Him!!!

Such wise words… but know you aren’t alone. I’m a married woman whose husband is always busy – & having no children of my own, I feel the same way…

And women who are widowed & with kids that have left home & have families of their own…

I think there is a familiarity in your story to more people then you realize..

So true! I LOVE my hubby and kiddos, but I certainly do miss those special times I could focus all my time and attention on God….and what special times they were. God LOVES them. My heart kinda hurts thinking back to those times and missing them so much. Just different stages of life.
