I stumbled on your blog in the most random fashion, but I couldn't have needed it more (maybe not so random ?). Thanks so much for sharing this with everyone, I know you have helped me immensely and I am sure you have helped many other 20 something women. Thank you so much for this.

Although I am still in my 20s (and am married with my first baby), this is something I always want to tell my single friends. Usually I don't say anything or preface it with, "I know that I'm married already so this probably sounds obnoxious." I think the biggest thing to me is all the ways the Lord can use my single friends - ways that just aren't feasible for a wife and a mom. I can't usually up and leave in the middle of the night to support a friend. And I certainly can't move to another state/country to serve the Lord without lots and lots of prep that I wouldn't have had when I was single. I love being a wife and a mom. Sometimes I just wish there was a good way to explain that there's no need to rush. Good post. I love this.

I am thankful that I have found His love, thanks to my husband. Life is hard no matter what season you are in but with God all things are possible. I love your blog! Many blessing to you!!

I'm a just-turned-30 single something. And like you, I made some mistakes in my early 20's. God's grace has been so wonderful, because He's taught me to really enjoy life as a single person in my later 20's, and I look forward to all that is still ahead. We're each walking our own road, and no two people's look exactly right, huh? I love your 'marriage like the army' analogy- I'm going to remember that- I think it's got much truth :) Thanks for writing this- I love when you write posts about your faith and your heart- they are always so good.
