ever tire of being single?<\/p>\n
disclaimer: before you keep reading just know this post comes from the emotional heart of an almost 22 year old, incredibly single christian girl who just watched “Run Away Bride”. a movie about a girl who leaves 5 men at the alter… yes 5 … and gets Richard Gere at the end. yes… i know it is supposed to be a romantic comedy… but what is discouraging when watching something like that is I can’t even get one guy. this may bring some embarrassment later – to reveal my heart like this – but this is where i’m at. thanks for reading.<\/p>\n
why am i SO<\/strong> single? no… not just single… i can’t even get a date!!<\/p>\n on a good day i can usually say, “oh i am quite content in my single-hood” and mean it… but if i were to say that at this moment… a lightning bolt would shoot from the sky and hit me directly between the eyes… and since there are storms in the area i am not going to take that risk. friends… i hate being single. there… some honesty for you in a world of ‘run around’ and fine print.<\/p>\n do guys have this problem? i am sure they do but i can’t see it being as bad… since in the Christian world guys have the power. don’t get me wrong… women have power in it too, but according to John and Stasi Eldridge… if a girl wants to be asked out… she has to wait patiently to be “rescued” and “pursued” by letting the guy “lead”. i am pretty much okay with that whole concept, but too often the guy doesn’t do it.<\/p>\n i think if i had been asked out on a date recently some things would feel different but since i am going on 22 years with no great dates to really speak of… it’s hard. it has taken 22 years to realize that there is nothing wrong with wanting to feel desirable… to be captivating… to be fought for… to be rescued… to be pursued!!! i want to be cherished… to unveil my beauty… be seen as strong and be a part of the adventure and passion of romance and relationship.<\/p>\n i am not really seeking advice or encouragement… because i’ve read it (book after book) and heard pretty much all of it (from my sappy, happily married friends) … they are great words of advice and encouragement but sometimes i just want to talk about it and expose my heart. so that’s why i post today.<\/p>\n Warning: Sappy Lyrics<\/p>\n “You Can’t Hurry Love” I need love, love How many heartaches must I stand No, I cant bear to live my life alone Now love, love don’t come easy My mama said ever tire of being single? disclaimer: before you keep reading just know this post comes from the emotional heart of an almost 22 year old, incredibly single christian girl who just watched “Run Away Bride”. a movie about a girl who leaves 5 men at the alter… yes 5 … and gets Richard Gere at… Continue reading i think i’ve become captivatingly wild at heart<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[165,45,56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-box-of-chocolates","category-personal-growth","category-singleness","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\noh, ease my mind
\nAnd I need to find time
\nsomeone to call mine;<\/p>\n
\nBefore I find the love to let me live again
\nRight now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
\nwhen I feel my strength, ooh, it’s almost gone<\/p>\n
\nI grow impatient for a love to call my own
\nBut when I feel that I, I can’t go on
\nWell these precious words keep me hanging on<\/p>\n
\nBut I keep on waiting
\nAnticipating for that soft voice
\nTo talk to me at night
\nFor some tender arms
\nhold me tight
\nI keep waiting
\nOoh, till that day
\nBut it ain’t easy (Love don’t come easy)
\nNo, you know it ain’t easy<\/p>\n
\nYou can’t hurry love
\nNo, you’ll just have to wait
\nShe said love don’t come easy
\nBut it’s a game of give and take
\nYou can’t hurry love
\nNo, you’ll just have to wait
\nJust trust in a good time
\nNo matter how long it takes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
