Today I am...

I need to have a new perspective on being single.  I started thinking long and hard about what God is calling me to do in my singleness.  And there is a quote in the book that makes sense to me that I would like to share with you.  Krissy is a girl who is single and lives life to the fullest anyway (which we should all be doing, regardless).  Her younger brother asked her, "Krissy, do you think you are called to singleness?"  And Krissy's response to her brother was, "Today I am."  I believe one of these days, I will meet my husband and spend the rest of my life with him.  But, until then, I'm single.  And that is okay with me.  I want to live life to the fullest with our without my husband.  So, my response to my internal question of whether I am called to singleness is "Today I am."  I just pray that others can start to understand where I come from when I say this.  I have already come to the conclusion that I am not going to please those people, and that's okay.  I can pray for those people and that they will have peace with those who are not actively searching for their future spouse but they are actively searching for the relationship of a lifetime.  I would rather have that relationship of a lifetime then have nothing at all.  I may not get married in a year or ten years but I will still have that fulfilling meaning of what a relationship is because God is there teaching me about our relationship.  I am forever grateful for that.  So, "Today I am."
