don't take this too seriously, it was just a thought that crossed my mind
i'm a single Christian woman. like basically every other single Christian woman, i can't help but sometimes wish God would hurry up and give me someone (and yes i know that there might not ever be anyone). it comes and goes, some times are better than others, but lately i've been praying about my singlehood a lot it seems.
i have for a long time thought that i'd be a good step-mom (which my mother has also said) (and which is interesting considering that i don't want kids). as i (and thus presumably any possible future husband) get older, i feel like it might be possible that God has me feeling that way on purpose (though yes, i know that that may not be true, either because i'm forever single or because he won't have kids).
and then the other day i put these things together and was absolutely horrified. by asking God to hurry up, i may be praying for some woman to hurry up and die already!!! i may be praying for some kid or kids to lose their mom in non-due time! i'm a horrible person! time to rethink praying for the time to be sooner rather than later!

The same issues come up with adoption. The whole concept of God's will is very tricky!! (We'll have to discuss it on our walk next July! :) )
What's this about your walk next July? That sounds fun!
we have Bible school reunion next year :)
