It was brought to my attention couple weeks ago when a missionary came to my church and was talking about his family and made the comment that he and his wife were praying for his daughter to find a Christian husband. My mother chuckled and nudged her friend sitting next to her and pointed at me. Which made me feel like junk. But it started me thinking why have I not married. Well once upon a time just as every girl does I had the "game plan" figured out. I was going to graduate high school, get married, graduate college, become a teacher, have children. Well 3 out of 5 isn't too bad. Yes I have had opportunities for love. I've had two relationships that we will just say didn't work out. As time moved on I have decided do I really want to be married? Let's see, do I want to devote all my time to one person for the rest of my life? Do I really want to cook and clean for someone who will be less than appreciative? This may be the life for others but I really do not believe this is the life for me. As a single woman I do not have to ask permission of anyone but the good Lord. I do not have to have supper on the table ready when a man gets home. Actually single life is pretty good. So as you see the game plan has changed. This plan book seems to be a winner. The picture was taken during my first engagement. This is me in the wedding dress I had on layaway.
