27 and Single....

Lately, I've discovered that the world, or shall I say my world, thinks the fact that I'm 27 and not married (or no potential to be married any time soon), is completely taboo, and unheard of.
I'll be honest in stating that I want more than anything to be married, SOON, and start having a family, because I know that God created me with the purpose of being a wife and mother one day. But, again, in being honest, when you work 10-12 hour days, and then come home to start again the next day, there's not much chances to "meet someone." I know that my God already has someone picked out, and will reveal that to me and him, in his timing. And, most days, being "27 and single" doesn't bother me. All my friends are married, and I'm so happy for them. Yes, I want what they have! And, there are days when I feel like I'm the last single girl, but for the most part, I'm happy with my life. I've done really well for myself (not bragging at all, just stating the facts), and have a good career, and a good life that I love. Of course, I would love to have someone to come home to at night, other than my sweet Bentlee pup, but I'm a firm believer of God's timing, and it just isn't right now.

So, I get frustrated when people "aww" and feel sorry for me when they hear that "no, I'm not married, nor do I have a boyfriend." Well, big freakin deal. I'm happy...most days! So, don't look at me as a charity case. Recently, someone very close to me told me that I would never get married, because my expectations are simply too high. That hurt me! And, I couldn't disagree more. I have high expectations for a reason, and that's because I've settled before, and am not willing to do it again. Is my "perfect man" perfect? Well, no, absolutely not! No one is...but, there are certain qualifications that he needs to meet, and there are some things that I will not compromise on, and don't feel I should have to. So, for someone to say that my chances of getting married based on what I look for is pretty slim is wacked up!

....Because, I know that I will get married. And, I know that my God has purposely planned the road he wants me to take, and who he wants me to take it with. And, he's gonna bless me with a wonderful mate one day. And, until then, I'll keep praying for the day to come!
