I will begin by stating that I am a well-seasoned self-sufficient single woman (thank you very much). For thirteen years I served as a missionary around the world and carried various leadership roles within the international missions organization I served with. It may also be helpful to state that while I may be a well-seasoned self-sufficient single woman, my strength and independence also perform as cover-ups for a deep longing to be loved by and give my love to another. My singleness never seemed to bother me. I wanted to follow God’s will and believed my obedience meant the rest of life’s details would fall into place; mainly marriage and finding a spouse. So, I rarely talked about it and assumed marriage happen would happen whether or not I talked about it. I now realize that is was denial more than anything. I was afraid to admit marriage was something I wanted for my life. It is way too vulnerable, too personal, and way too honest.
