There are so many times I feel like I have to go without compared to my friends. I think the hardest thing right now is seeing those my age happy in relationships and wondering why I wasn't happy in mine, and why I am not in one right now.
A couple weeks ago my sister in law, April, sent me a text message after I posted a status about being single. It is a quote from the book, "The Resolution for Women."
The rarity and uniqueness of a woman who has chosen to be satisfied with what she has, with who she is, and with where she lives is as uncommon and worth celebrating as a Texas snow fall at Christmas.I can't describe to you the comfort I feel by reading this one sentence. I realize that maybe the reason I am single and have never been happy in previous relationships is because God wants me to be satisfied in my relationship with Him. Not only that, but satisfied with where he has me in my life.
Then I think about how blessed I really am and how unique my life is compared to all my friends and siblings who are already married. I had a great opportunity to go to college and focus only on that. Both my sisters married at young age and have told me it's hard going to college after marriage. I also have been able to rent my own apartment and learn so much about myself. And the best thing is my puppy Charlie. I love the joy he puts in my life.
