Question for Singles

*grin* You're already hired, Mr T. But with a job that big, it may require more than one person.

Ahh ok... I guess even Rambo had a sidekick... and we could use BOB as a diversion...

Just remember the best place to shop for wedding flowers is the grave yard after memorial day!

That's about as cheap as you can get!

Well then... I say we start outlawing happiness... no infectious *cough*ing of the oozing happiness that Sippin has... no *spitlaughing* from RJ... no *giggles* or *smirks*... if we aren't supposed to be happy... then we'll try to be what we are suppsed to be... *misersable*   

                                                                   
                                                                   
                                                                   
                                                                   
                                                                   

ok... so maybe not...

I think it is preposterous to think that we are not supposed to be capable of happiness... True happiness is every time a child is born, or smiles or laughs... or someone gets a revelation of One God, and takes part in the new birth experience... true happiness is having the Spirit of God living inside of you... or you find the "right" one to marry...

I dont think that we will continually be on "cloud 9", but there are moments in life where a person can be.  You can be unhappy, but still content... you can be sad, and content... being miserable is a choice... especially if you have the Spirit of almighty God living inside of you...!

No marriage is perfect... TRUE... but even in the tough times, which from all I can see, there can be a lot of tough times... Children get sick, children become disabled... children die! Spouses  get ill, and they die... Yes that is going to bring on sorrow... you can be content.

(Isaiah 61:3)  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Not saying you will be happy in the hard times, or the heartache... but you can still be content... and in being content... there is the ability by God to find True Happiness...

As far as being Happy being single? I am content being single, because I know that if god has someone out there for me, then in HIS time I will find her, and all this 26 yrs of waiting will be worth it...!

If I never get married, than there must have been a reason why... either it wasn't His will... or I missed His will somewhere down the line!

But either way... I know I am able to be content... or happy doing what God has called me to do, whatever and wherever that may be.

But I also believe God knows the true desires of our heart, and hears the prayers that have been offered up for my spouse... whoever and wherever she is since I was 15!

At the moment, I remain to be content and happy as I am... it allows me to do things and go places that if I were married might be harder, although not impossible. It allows me time to prepare what I feel God has given to me as His plan for my life, and when the right gal comes along, her puzzle piece will fit into the picture of my life that God has given me!

I heartily disagree with you on this point, but I most likely will not reply on this specific topic again to avoid tension... but anyhow..

God Bless You..  Yoop :grin:

Rock on, dood!

Oh my...  rofl  these posts are absolutely insane.  *shakes her head*

Sippintea: methinks that perhaps your wedding favors should probably be those rain ponchos that fold up into itty bitty keychain sized pockets.

Wow... what a reread... LOL

[YooperYankDude]

I guess if I honestly went back through that list and entered cost... it might amount to more than my $1000 estimate... LOL

Just the suit is $130!

I wish I had hired my guards... at least of the groomsmen would be on the list...

Just a piece of advise to any unmarried guys...

When the 3 guys of preference for your groomsmen all bail out on you... even when they previously agreed to be the groomsmen... NEVER EVER EVER choose the boyfriend of the MOH (maid of honor)to be your best man, and the brother of the bride (who you dont necessarily get along with very well on most occasions... even though you have made attempts...) to be a groomsmen... just because you can't think of anyone else to get to stand in, even if you rationalize it into the fact that your attempting to build a bridge of friendship... LOL, cause most likely the MOH and Best Man will break up before the wedding, and the brother will become an antagonist... ohh well... in 7 days, I will be married... lol

We actually eloped & had the ceremony later because things were so crazy. Only a coup people knew though. Best thing we ever did. Took all the stress out of it & it was like our oasis of secret knowledge amongst the chaotic stupidity.

We did that too, although because of slightly different circumstances. So now our true annivesary, Lou refers to as being my annivesary. Married wearing comfortable clothing, with just a handful of family present, in Bro. Papa's
(my pastor's) living room. Then, a month and a half later- her anniversary, celebrating the church wedding/ceremony she wanted. I was not near as comfortable with that one.
