Today's post has basically nothing to do with Honduras... the Lord is still being faithful to provide support... thanks to you all who are responding by giving! I will update more about that later.
Really I just wanted to share today the single most helpful thing that I have read in the last couple of years relating to singleness and the Lord and how those two things relate. I don't think that I am alone in saying that I struggle with the questions of why as they relate to my current marital status. And I can answer some of them quite well. I have loved my job over the past four years, I loved my community in college, I have grown to love the Lord and depend on Him on ways that I never would have, who knows if I would be going on the mission field if I were married at this time, etc. But even having some of the answers doesn't always stop the questions...
So the real answer. I am single right now because God is so good to me.
If you're single or not, I encourage you to read this article and be reminded of and encouraged by the character of the God that we worship who loves us and is GOOD to us!
