What I didn't share in this entry is the reason I rushed into marriage twenty-odd years ago is that back then, I couldn't bear to be alone for eleven minutes, I didn't know or love myself, and had a crippling fear of rejection of any kind. Do I need to tell anyone this is a lousy basis for good dating choices or a healthy, loving relationship?
In the years since my divorce, I have indeed cherished my solitude, getting healthier, enjoying my kids, and getting more grounded in Christ and myself.
In Italian, we say, "Meglio soli che male accompagnati," which means "better to be alone than in bad company." Amen!
I know some of you may be curious, but I must say I treasure my privacy in this area to honor all involved. Let me be vague but hopefully helpful to my single gal pals.
I can say that I am prayerful and intentional. I trust my gut and God. I don’t ignore red flags. I seek honesty and awareness. I take it easy. I enjoy developing friendly, organic friendships with fellas. I honor God's advice on the subject. I entrust myself to God's timing and will, mostly comfortably.
That's it for now. I'll keep you posted. I sure do welcome your prayers for God's best! 😉💖
