Lady in Waiting


My life as a single Christian woman is quite interesting so I thought I'd share.  For one thing, there is a shortage of Christian men that are single in their 30's and 40's.  So that right there causes a big problem in trying to date a Christian man.   I know many men in their 30's and 40's but most are married...I also know many men in their 30's and 40's that are single BUT they are not Christians...UGH!  I look around at Church, at events, at Christian book stores, or anywhere really and wonder....Where are the single men my age?  Don't get me wrong...I'm not desperately looking for a husband but I do know that God will have to work on this one on His own.  LOL
I have tried the whole online dating which is quite busy for non Christians...but once you get on a Christian dating site..it's almost impossible to find someone in your area or in your state for that matter.  LOL   As you can see my chances are slimming down even more.  I have many friends that have friends that are sooooooo nice!  (famous words!) then I meet them and we are not on the same page...heck not even in the same book!  They drink, party, cuss, and so on so do you really think they'd wait til marriage for sex?   UH Nah!!!  LOL  or I get the other extreme, they are ON FIRE for the Lord!!  Their walk is strong...but they don't want to date me...Why?  well, because I have tattoos, because I've had sex before,  because I was married twice and because I already have children.... SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!  Image
Sooooooo where do I fit in?  I do not want a worldly man.  I want a Christian!  I'm not a virgin yet I am waiting til marriage..LOL  I don't want to date a 21 year old  or a 51 year old...so I am limited here.   What's a girl to do?????    I know what I have to do....I have to wait on the Lord to send me that one He's been preparing for me ( FOR A LONG TIME TOO!!!) LOL   and know that like I have said before...I am not trying to find the right man..I want to be the right woman!!  and that developing patience is hard but getting married before God's timing is even worse!
