I was sitting in church yesterday surrounded by tons of young couples who are pregnant, or have little kids. My church has a great ministry for young couples in our area (mostly due to the military base our community thrives on). But for singles, there's nothing. So I sit in my chair, constantly struggling with wanting what they have...a husband, young kids, etc. And then I see them all talking, hanging out with each other, and just fellowshipping with one another. But for us singles, there's nothing. No group, no class. And I noticed that most of us serve in our church in some capacity. I would love to start something, but am currently too busy to start a new group. Do you, if you're single, have problems with this in your church. Or if you're married, how do you reach out to the young (or not so young), singles in your church? Mainly, I just want to know if it's like this in other churches, or if mine is just special in this area.

I hate waiting. I hate waiting in lines, in traffic, at restaurants. I want everything instantly, and if you make me wait more than I deem appropriate, I get grumpy. Or with life issues, I worry. I'm a natural worrywort. So God making me wait is not good. Because I worry. And lately it seems like all I've been doing is waiting on God. Waiting for that next call for an interview. Waiting for that next rejection letter in the mail. This time, waiting for a director to call and tell me I got the job (hopefully). And since it's been 2 days since they were supposed to call, I worry. I worry about another letter coming in the mail, about not getting a job at all teaching. I hate waiting. I hate the thoughts that go through my mind as I wait. Hopefully God has some divine plan for all this waiting...and hopefully the waiting comes to an end soon, or else I might just go crazy!

I didn't get a cell phone till college, and it was one of those pay-as-you-go phones. I think when my child starts to drive is when they will get a cell phone, and no earlier. If they want to call someone, they can do it on the house phone. That way, I'd also know more of who they were talking to.
