After reading yesterday’s post I received an email from a woman with
some suggestions on what not to say to single women in your church. I
thought her comments rang true and were well written. She gave me
permission to post them here.
“I keep praying for someone to come along for you.”
Thanks for your prayers. I hope someone comes along too. Instead of
praying for that, why don’t you pray that I would be growing in
Christlikeness so that if Mr. Wonderful walks into my life, I would be
better suited to be a helpmate for him.
“I don’t know why no young man hasn’t scooped you up and carried you off yet.”
I know this is supposed to be a compliment and that the intention of
the kind woman is to tell me that she thinks I’m worth marrying. I
appreciate that you think so highly of me. Unfortunately when you say
this I immediately try to answer the question of why no one has carried
me off. Am I too much of one thing and not enough of another? Do I not
look right? Am I too soft spoken or too loud? What do I need to change
about myself since obviously something is wrong with me if I haven’t
been taken off the market? Maybe I should go read Proverbs 31 again to figure it out. Keep Reading >>>
