Since being in a relationship with Matt I've had a few people say to me...you used to be all about singleness...because some of the posts I put on Facebook. But for those who really know me it wasn't singleness I was all about...I was and still am all about the real reason we are on this earth. I combat the idea that everyone is meant for marriage and we all have someone out there for us. That couldn't be further from the truth. I just get so tired of these posts of mostly women writing about how God has promised them someone they haven't even met yet. God didn't promise you that.
There are many purposes mixed in with the main purpose ;we are on this earth to serve Jesus, love others, and share the word of God not only with our mouths but with our actions. So whether that is being accomplished through singleness, marriage, motherhood, fatherhood, brotherhood, sisterhood...it doesn't make one better than the other. The real purpose and goal worth fighting for is, are you serving Christ? Not waiting on an idea that isn't promised to you. Just because I met the man I want to marry doesn't mean my viewpoint has changed. I just have a new purpose withing Gods actual promise to me...the promise that He will always love me whether I become a wife or not. The promise that Jesus died on the cross for my sins whether I become a wife or not. The promise that through Jesus Christ my savior I have a home in heaven...whether I become a wife or not. Those promises are real and nothing can change that.
