"On the other hand, if our days now are introspectively focused on our own personal issues and needs and interests, what makes us think we will suddenly become outward-focused and kingdom-focused when we marry?"
As I read this I started thinking of everything I was going for now, in my singleness. I keep the house clean for my family, I keep the meals for the home steady as I can, I am focusing the things I feel God wants me to accomplish right now, If God's will I might start a group for girls... these last couple of months I didn't understand why my will was not pleasing...and because things were not how I think they should be, I felt as if my singleness was being wasted. Then God called me into a new light and now being reminded of the thing I am doing and pursuing inspite of what I want...I'm finding that what I've always wanted is what I'm doing now!
God is molding my focus outward... and by the new leads in my life I see the prosperity it is bringing in this new perspective.
I'm encouraged, that what I'm doing is right... and I pray it will keep so, and I pray for all of you ladies that are seeking the life on your own homestead one day. But remember that one of the best times to be focused in these ways are now! Think of so many things you can do? Give lessons on crochet to girls, open a book club, do a over the phone devotion with a girl who is going through something trying... we have so many advantages, we must learn to take advantage of them!
So I encourage all of you. have a open mind and explore the opportunities in the Kingdom!
