How will your future husband identity himself to you?
Julie woke up early. It was Saturday and the warming morning sun rays were flooding her room. Usually she works through the weekend, but today was different. For some reason, she felt like God was telling her to slow down. As she got out of bed and made her way to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, she suddenly had a thought which she usually actively avoids, “I wish I wasn’t in this house alone. Why hasn’t God given me a husband yet?”
It’s late, you’re lying in bed, scrolling online, and then you see it. You get the sinking feeling in your stomach. But you also instantly feel a tinge of guilt for being upset. What did you see? Another friend of yours just got engaged. This heightens your realization that you feel alone and really want to be married, but you are also happy for your friend. A swirl of emotions clouds your mind and you say to yourself, “I don’t know how to feel about this. Maybe I’ve just missed my window. Maybe everyone else will get married, but I’ll always be the single person in the group.”
