I begrudgingly opened this expecting it to be another girl my age complaining about not being married and having kids. I was happily surprised to find that it wasnt. I found a girl who is the same as me, no husband, no kids, no career, and is okay with it. I understand her feeling of brokenness brought on by comments of others. I have felt her pain for feeling disappointment that you arent in the stage of life that you are expected to be. Just because others have expectations and predetermined ideas of what, who, and where I need to be in life doesnt mean that my life is stagnant and doesnt have meaning. I have made many mistakes that have gotten me where I am today. I have also made many good decisions and both have made me who I am. I dont regret where I am in life. Honestly, as time goes on, the more grateful I am that I dont have a husband, kids, and career yet. I am having and have had experiences that I couldnt get otherwise. Not saying that Id put off a husband and kids for these experiences, its more that the Lord has allowed me to grow in ways that I probably wouldnt have any other way. I have no control when those first two things happen, and finding a career has been a journey for me and Ill get there eventually. But all of this, is in the Lords time. I think thats what people forget. Im happy and okay that I dont have those things. Im not depressed, Im not crying about it, Im not wasting away my time feeling sorry for myself. Im living my life the best I know how. I agree with her that I wish people would stop worrying about my future and whats NOT happening in my life. How about they ask about what is happening and be happy for the now.
