Bonjour!
I know I've been sucking at posting in recent times. Life just creeps up on you - it feels like time has kidnapped me and won't let me go. Ok, strange analogy, I know. I'm just tired today.
But. Hmm. I had a good girly rant about weddings with a friend at my church today. (Hi, "Amara," if you're reading!) It's just fun to be a girl sometimes! Though I think some of the guys overheard us and thought we were absolutely nuts to be talking about and planning our weddings! Haha.
It's crazy though, sometimes I look around and am surprised at how many people my age are still single. It's especially strange when you consider things such as this: by the time my mum was my age, she already was married and had a son. And now here I am, never even had a boyfriend at all. Why is that? Is it something to do with the age we live in? Is it because women are trying to be more independent and men are scared to commit? I mean, I WANT to be married. And it feels like society is making marriage a harder thing to achieve these days, if that makes any sense. It's like the world gave up on marriage because they thought it was too hard or something. I don't know.
Yet I know God envisioned marriage to be a great thing. "It is not good for man to be alone," the Bible tells us. He designed humans, I believe, to be able to come together under the coverage and covenant of marriage. Not for our sake necessarily but in order for us to further bring glory to His name. I am reminded of the verse that speaks of how a cord of three strands is not easily broken. Well, in light of marriage, perhaps that verse could be applied in such a way as this: that each strand is like a member of the family - husband, wife, child. And together, they are stronger.
I don't know. These are just some thoughts swirling around in my head, at this late hour. Anyways, I'm going to sleep. Good night world.
