Comments on: My Time Will Not Come https://www.graceandhonor.org/2017/01/my-time-will-not-come/ An online ladies publication Tue, 28 Feb 2017 03:36:28 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: nina gill https://www.graceandhonor.org/2017/01/my-time-will-not-come/#comment-6311 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 03:36:28 +0000 http://www.graceandhonor.org/?p=5149#comment-6311 Dear Amanda,
My younger sister and several younger cousins got married before I did. I did not feel sorry for myself but it would annoy me getting a timeline every time someone in my family would get married. I believed God had a purpose for me and it may not have included getting married. Once upon a time I wanted to be the cool doctor serving with Doctors Without Borders, serving remote African villages and helpless towns of Asia….. today I worry about Sara and Danny’s homework, Danny performance in PSSA, Sara piano, Danny’s soccer… they have replaced everything and become my highest priority…..these responsibilities distract you from a bigger priority of serving the Lord exclusively. Getting married is honorable but staying single is better. Now who said that ?

I am sure it is a good challenge to many . . . as the comments attest. As we pray for you we didn’t really know your emotions on this matter but we are happy to know you have learned (or are learning)contentment in the present situation, knowing God has a plan and His plan is the best for us.

From one who knows what it is to wait for God’s timing for marriage and the blessing of filling that time in with other wonderful ministry opportunities. Thank you for encouraging young ladies to be content.
Donna Kuzel, married at 39.

And can I just say, just because the Lord has blessed you with a husband and kids doesn’t mean you can’t still serve others. It’s just on a more limited basis.
If I say I trust God, then my life should reflect an attitude of contentment, come what may!

Isaiah 64:8

But now, O Lord, thou art our father;
we are the clay, and thou our potter;
and we all are the work of thy hand.

It is encouraging to see you serving with joy and trusting the Lord!

This is applicable to me in my relationship, while waiting for my guy to finish school before we can move towards the next step. I need to cherish the here and now. God has lessons and ministry and life for me here too! Thank you for the reminder!
Thank you also for sharing your thoughts in this area while you are in the now of it. It is one of my greatest regrets I didn’t share what God taught me in singlness while I was single, because now that I have a guy, it appears that my single friends think I do not understand and because I am ‘ so happy’ I can have nothing helpful to say. Not that it’s about me or people hearing my thoughts… I just see them struggle and want to reach out to them to encourage, but, unfortunately it is more unwelcome than helpful. 🙁 So thank you for being open about this.

Yes, godliness with contentment truly is great gain!

The time is now….enjoy each aspect of your life and be content. Each on has it’s unique challenges and blessings.

You’ve nailed it, Amanda! Wonderfully written! I love you ~ Mom

My thoughts exactly. Even as a married woman with two children it’s easy to be looking at whatever the next thing is instead of focusing on how God wants to use me in the stage I’m in. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂
