oh men, the constant white noise in every woman's life. (paraphrased from Post Cards from Corinth, the chapter entitled "Daughters of Eve".)
i recently read this from Recovering Biblical Manhood & Womanhood, and it resonated deeply within me.
Jesus, if this is Your will
then YES to being single,
In my deepest heart, i want to marry,
to belong to a great man;
to know that i am linked to his life...
and he to mine...
following Christ and our dreams together...
but You know what i need.
if i never marry, it is YES to You.
~Ann Kiemel Anderson
there have been times where i have despaired, cried, wanted to slow down, or maybe...even stop, and no doubt i will experience similar things in the future, but God is good. the only way i can put mate in front of mission is to change the whole order and put it in front of Master, but i am sorely deceiving myself if i think that would the best scheme of things.
Well said my dear.
