Single Christian Seeks God

I've always been Single. I've also always been a Christian. These two things are oxymoronic to some. Even more so because I'm a girl, but still all of these are true statements. I have never seen myself though as someone who will forever and always be single. On the contrary I look forward to getting married, and (possibly) having kids, although that thought terrifies me at the moment. But once I got to the point where dating interested me, and nothing happened (I was most certainly an ugly duckling) all I could do was bemoan my unfortunate existence, because what else was a good Christian girl supposed to do other than get married and have lots of kids? Or so I thought. I know realize a thing or two about being single and what God thinks about it, and even why he has made me so for so long. I hope these thoughts help whoever crosses the path of this journal and helps them realize that being single can actually be a very happy moment in life rather than pause before the pursuit.
