Well, friends, much misinterpretation could come regarding the motivation of the blog, so I think it's better to go ahead and clarify.
Some may think this is a place where single people can whine about their "condition" and figure out how to rid themselves of the "disease" that is singleness.
"So... just tell me how to get un-single."
False.
Or, maybe some of you are thinking this is where we can gather as single people to rag on people in relationships and to talk about how overrated relationships are because we are "individualistic and strong."
False. False. False.
The issue is, whether single or whether in a relationship, we're missing the point.
All of us as human beings.
We're missing it.
The issue isn't whether we're single or in a relationship.
That's not the point.
We're not here to simply be single or to simply be married.
We're here to glorify God and to serve Him regardless of our circumstances.
That's the point.
The point is, that we, specifically as single people, have fallen into this mind-set that we haven't reached "it" (whatever "it" is) until we've achieved relationship status.
We've fallen into the pattern of wasting our singleness.
So that-- all of the above-- is why I have felt God pushing me to start this blog.
We've missed the point, and I think it's time to remind ourselves.
It's time to focus on glorifying God in every part our lives.
As my sister said today, "If you aren't satisfied with what God gives you as a single person, you won't be satisfied as a married person." And she's right.
In the same way, if we're not serving the Lord and glorifying God as single people, probability says that we probably won't be serving the Lord and glorifying God as married people.
Hope this clarified some things!
