I think it is amazing how God created us to be in community. To live together. To want to be with others. To feel loved and accepted by others. He created us a social beings with a part of us that is completed when we are with friends and family.
And then there is marrage. To have a partner, companion, lover and friend that does life with you. Someone to hang out with, cook with, walk with, laugh and cry with, be there at night so you can share when you've had a great day(or bad).... you know, do life together.
Another one of my single girlfriends is getting married today. I really am so very happy for her but.... it reminds me again how I am not.
I know that God is supposed to be (and is) my partner and companion but I need...I want to hug someone. I want someone to share life with. Is that bad? I do to trust that God has a plan for my life but this part of His plan, right now... isn't my favorite. A long time ago, I set my standards very high for the kind of man that I want to marry. On days like today (and it seems, more and more ofthen), I find myself reassessing things. Are my standards too high? Am I living the kind of life worthy of someone who meets the standards that I am wanting for him? In other words, if I meet the kind of guy that has the 'whole package'... will I be someone who is the 'whole package' for him?
Whoa! I have to get ready! Thanks for letting me spew a little!
Have a great day blogger friends!
Thanks for sharing, Heather. I really appreciate your honesty and share many of your feelings. Take heart, my friend. Whoever ends up making you a Mrs will be a blessed man... and I have a feeling he will often be entertained :-)

I know you had to wait 8 more years for me, but to answer your question, yes you are the whole package and more. And I am blessed beyond words.
