Struggling With Singleness.
I think it isn't uncommon for many people, females especially to struggle with the issue of singleness. And guess what?
That's ok.
Was talking to Chew Chern about this topic during camp.
Like how Christian women can look at couples in church and wonder when or whether they will ever be able to experience the same thing. The feeling of being loved romantically, of having the other half to always go to and discharge, release their emotions; and more than that - to love, serve and care for in the Lord.
"Although I am aware of the troubles that come with marriage, I still wish I had that one person I could lovingly scrub the toilet for."
Someone mentioned that. And I agree wholeheartedly.
Maybe it's just me, but I would love to have someone I could go through life with. That I would love fully and feel secure with. This is of course, in a romantic context.
It is important to realise that no human being can ever fill that hole in anyone's heart. That void that has been there since before we were born. Because we as created beings were made to fulfill our purpose: To glorfiy God, to live for Him and Him alone. Therefore, Jesus is the only person (the only full man and full God) that can fulfill our 'hunger' and longing for something bigger.
Having said that, I'm starting to look at being in a relationship in a different light now.
It is a big commitment. But ah, it is also a great joy.
Hm, I think I'll just stick my awesome guy friends for now. These past few days during the mid-semester holiday after church camp have been wonderfully spent at RJ, John, Dan Leong and Ian's house. :)
GOD is in control, 4:35 PM.
