Why I’m Waiting….

I get asked this question alot…. Why are you still single?  What are you waiting for?I can’t really tell anyone why I’m still single… but I can tell you what I’m waiting for…. I’m waiting for God’s perfect timing and God’s perfect will for my life.  I believe that when the right man comes into my life, I won’t need to be convinced… I won’t need any signs. I don’t always take acts of coincidence as “signs from God”.  Not only that… I can’t think only about myself…. I have another life that I’ve brought into this world, with minimal help from the paternal unit… I have to think of his well-being and my relationship with him.  Why on earth would I rock his world and turn it completely upside down, just so I won’t be lonely when he’s gone?  That is the most selfish thing I’ve ever heard of…. Once he’s gone… I’ll have all kinds of time to do all the things I want to do… travel, date, whatever… it doesn’t have to be done now. I’m waiting because I can…. because there’s no rush…. because I’m not going to be bound by what society has deemed a “good marrying age”.  What is that anyway?  I’m single because being single gives me all the time with my God that I want, and that He wants with me.  I believe that God is continuing to work in me and being in a relationship, other than all the relationships I already have in place, would only take away from my time with Him.  I’m not ready to give that up… I think that’s why I find something wrong with every guy I meet… too tall, too skinny, doesn’t talk enough… whatever….  I’m just not ready… So… there’s your answer, for all those inquiring minds.  I’m not looking for a relationship… but when its the right time… God will bring him around.  I don’t think it’ll be for a while…   God is showing me how much He likes his “Alicia” time right now….
