Sometimes it's hard to be single and almost 30. There are people out there who think something's wrong with me because I'm not married. Some people tell me that it's up to me to make it happen -- that I need to throw myself out there -- that I need to date and start actively seeking a husband or before I know it I will be old, single and lonely. They threaten that if I don't start doing something soon I'm destined to the life of an old maid. I don't agree.
I want very much to be married one day but right now I'm content with the singleness God has brought into my life. It doesn't mean I don't care and don't want to be married (there are some days I cry because I want it so bad), but right now I am taking delight in this season of my life. I trust that the Lord has amazing plans and has put me here for a reason. For me not to be content or for me to try to grab for more than what He's provided means I'm not trusting in Him.
Being content in life means you are happy with where God has put you.
1 Peter 5:6-7
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Jack Kerouac
“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." - Mother Teresa
