So often my prayers contradict themselves. For instance, I ask God to give me patience while at the same time praying that there’s not a line at the grocery store. The circumstance that God may want to use to answer my first prayer, I’m asking Him to not use in my second prayer.
Only recently did I realize that this is what I did as a single woman, too.
Today I’m sharing my story for Single Saturday at Woman to Woman Ministries. Join me there . . .
Right after college I became personal friends with the alterations lady up the road. It’s because it seemed like every few weeks I was bringing her another bridesmaids dress that I need tucked and hemmed and gathered. Notice I said bridesmaid dress – not wedding dress. Even though I wished the dress I was bringing her were white with a long train, that was no where in my immediate future. I wasn’t even dating anyone at the time.
Then I brought her my bridesmaid’s dress for my roommate’s wedding. That’s the friend who I couldn’t even crack a smile for the Monday morning after the weekend she got engaged. No, instead I just stared at the princess cut rock on her finger and sulked.
Today I’m sharing more of that story for Single Saturdays at Woman to Woman Ministries. I’m also answering the question “What Do You Do When All Your Friends Get Married?”
So head on over there to read more and be sure to tell me, what do you to when a friend is getting married?
I have a confession to make. Recently my past has taken over my thoughts in a way like never before. It seems that I just can’t get away from memories and regrets and secret wishes that I could do it over. I’m having a hard time moving on from my past. But I think I’m starting to have a breakthrough.
I am so excited to tell you that I’m going to be contributing to Woman to Woman Ministries every second Saturday of the month in a series called “Single Saturdays”! Today I share with you what I’ve learned about these obsessive thoughts from my past and one way I’m overcoming them. I hope you’ll join me there!
