wedding fever
Everywhere I turn people are getting together, getting engaged and getting married. In my morning church alone, there have been two weddings in the space of one month. And here I am, still single. I don’t even have a love interest, just plodding along in the single lane. It aint always easy.
I think when you have liked someone for so long, and you find out they have met someone else, it almost makes it easier to get over that person, because that way, all false hope of a future, are taken away immediately. It may sting a little when it happens, but in the long run, its best for everybody. Where am I? Well, I’m happy to say that I am over that guy who hurt me recently, in fact, I don’t hold any negative feeling toward him…can we still be friends? Time will tell. Do I have feelings for anybody right now? No…and it feels kinda good sometimes and kinda lonely sometimes, but in the end, it’s the will of God. Who am I to challenge that?
I dream of getting married one day…I’m reading this book right now: “And The Bride Wore White” which begins with the author describing the first time she met her husband and she describes the look in his eyes as she walks down the isle. When reading it, butterflies in their millions erupted in my stomach. I can only imagine what my wedding day will be like. I know it will not be for a wee while, but I’m female this is what we dream about all the time!
Peace
girl in the single lane

Understand, you are not here to wait about and feel sorry for your self. Christ saved you for a purpose to help others, He must increse - We must decrease.
When did God say he would give you a man? He should be enough! What if his plan is for you never to be married?
face up to it.

In Christ alone my hope is found.....
Is it realy? or is it in the man you will marry? God may use you to be single your whole life, ever thought of that?

dear anonymous!
I believe God has someone for me, and that is why He has given me a great desire to get married. Thank you, but I knw I am not here to wait around, I am here to serve my Lord. If God didn't want me to marry, I believe He would have told me. Singleness for me, I honestly believe, is only for a time and yes...In Christ alone my trus hope is found. question: why anonymous??

I'm glad you're not harbouring negative feelings for this guy - I know he hurt you but negative feelings only serve to worsen your hurt.
You'll find your man - you're meant to be happy and given time you'll find him. Don't rush it, just be happy & excited knowing that you've got all this ahead of you! WOOOO!

Dear single and waiting,
Betrayal is hard to take and much more so when it's from a Christian. This individual who did this, in my estimation, has a serious problem with Spiritual Pride. And nearly forty years of being saved, I considerate it one of the most deifficult sins to eliminate. Pride goeth before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.(or is it the other way around?) Either way this individual is about to take a big fall.
God Bless

How beautifully you expressed your feelings!!
In particular of "I think when you have liked someone for so long, and you find out they have met someone else, it almost makes it easier to get over that person".
I had been in a similar situation - quite a number of years ago - my first reaction was one of shock, which quickly evaporated to one of delight for them both.
In fact this has happened several times over the years. I still remain friends with my first girlfriend - even if I do tease her (age thing). Perhaps we may often think - what might of been?
But as you rightly expressed "it's the will of God".
It is sad if one is hurt by an ex - and especially when one was both loyal and placed so much into a mutual being.
Such pain is understandably more difficult to leave us!! And yet it eventually does - for we have to move on. As again you rightly said "It's the will of God. Who am I to challenge that".
Dreams may one day happen and "the Bride wore white" will be a blossoming sight for all to see and to share in the joy.
May your dreams become a reality - for we each must have a dream -.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful story.
God Bless
