There's a young lady here in NM, a home school graduate, Aprill Brunson, who is addressing this very issue at her website (http://www.oldmaidministries.com/)as someone who is in the midst of living a productive life as a single woman. She's also written a book, Life in the Single Lane, that may be helpful to Lisa's girls and other young women asking what to do with their lives as singles.<BR/><BR/>One review had this to say:<BR/>"…Entertaining and heart-warming, inspiring and honest, sometimes painful and sometimes too funny, Life In the Single Lane should be recommended reading for everyone wrestling with yieldedness in any season of life. Another important point Aprill makes is the extraordinary power of God to transform and use ordinary people with apparently ordinary lives. Her chapter on being a Single of Service is a particular favorite. If she can persuade this generation of believing singles to harness their energy for purposeful service, it will transform the world as we know it."<BR/><BR/>- Susan Tsyitee <BR/>Christian Association of Parent Educators of New Mexico board member<BR/><BR/>One other point I would add, as the mother of two young single women: A strong relationship with their father makes a great difference in being willing to wait for the man God may choose to bring into their lives. Their dad provides the protection they need and desire, as well as a male perspective on daily life.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!<BR/>BevAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15695487.post-1139228728511454562006-02-06T05:25:00.000-07:002006-02-06T05:25:00.000-07:00I agree, Valerie.

I'd add to them to suggest cultivating your delight in the Lord. When I was a young lady, I wrongly thought that my heart's desire was for a godly (handsome) man to come and sweep me off my feet. From the vantage point of someone who's been happily married for 24 years to a godly handsome man, I now know that knowing and learning to implicitly trust Jesus is my true heart's desire, and the pursuit of which is the only one that will bring me true contentment and satisfaction. Practice making Him your heart's desire. <BR/>Thank you for your post and your site.

"Resist the temptation to view the time before marriage as primarily a time of waiting or of being warehoused. There are vitally important things that young women need to be doing while they have no pressing responsibilities to a husband and children." great thougts!<BR/><BR/>again, love your place here and will be back soon!<BR/><BR/>blessings!<BR/>lisaRadical Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418291231094536896noreply@blogger.com
