Going it Alone

I am a over the singles ministry at my church and like many of the the other responses I have to add in my "WOW! Praise God for insight and goldne nuggets. I have to go out and get the book. Our next meeting is at the end of this month and the topic is on "Relationships". This is going to be valuable to me.

So thank you once again "Crosswalk" for making so much info available to us.

I do want to thank the person "myaine" I believe is the name for them comment made. The statement I am referring to is the one where the overseer of the singels ministry doesn't discuss his status until "BAM"! I am married.

It's important to let the class know where you are at as well. Live it and teach it.

All I can say is, Wow!!! The authors hit the nail right on the head. So many times I've tried to comfort myself at the same time having a pity party. This is my question:

When your own church doesn't cater to the largest demographic of the congregation (singles), how do you move on or begin to put your energy toward "being about my Father's business" without playing yourself?

So for clarity, the sermon/message is always directed to the married couple, not the singles. You have the married ministers who proclaim their love outwardly and publicly all the time. However, the single ministers are tight-lipped about their singleness and then all of a sudden, they're married!!! I've been going to this church for almost 4 years and have yet to hear a minister profess his/her love for being single! Is it selfish to want a role model to be able to lead by example?

WOW!!!. That said it all. I am single. I have never been married. I turned 30 this year and "it" is starting happen to me. The urgency of wanting/needing/practically begging God to send my husband to me. Thank you for this article. It really lightened my heart on this issue. I am guilty of filling my life with ministry "events" in the name of service when I have really been cruising the scene for a husband. Weddings aren't too bad for me though. I know enough people who absolutely regret being married. They keep the fantasies of marriage away.
