Yes I need church and lunch (food, sustenance, etc.) Skating usually means hang out time, and of course we need community. However I was thinking about something most girls desire, and that would be to have a husband. Of course I desire the companionship and the love that comes with having a husband, I even desire the hard times that come with that commitment (most of you married people reading this are probably saying psh yeah right.) But seriously if the Lord blesses me with a man to be my husband then that would be a very welcome blessing, specially if he's one who wishes to do missions overseas long-term.
However inside everything is screaming for Jesus and Him alone. If there is not someone who is to come in my life then I have turned my mind to the perspective that if I am in the will of God my life will be what it should be and I will be more blessed than I ever imagined.
I feel in my heart that there are a lot of things we think we need resulting from things that happen throughout our day to day lives, and what we have been taught. For ladies we feel we need husbands and that we need to have babies, but the fact is, for some of us that is not our reality. I need Jesus. Plain and simple, and as hard as that is sometimes it's the only truth we can hold onto. Paul commends people who stay single and live for the Lord fully, if I am to be that person then I want to live fully for God otherwise I would get distracted.
It is odd when you've just gone through a weekend where your the only one in the house without a significant other. It makes you think on the subject a bit. So yeah, my thoughts displayed.
All to God
Emily... I feel the same way. God really worked on me this summer to make it evident to me that He is the only one I need. He is relentless. We should talk sometime.
