Sc1tor - I see. You're not that thrilled about her yet and you're waiting on someone else. Hows that for prophesy?


Hmm. Just want to get to know more sisters in Christ. :)

Anyone here dating or have a boyfriend/ is courting or have ANY PROSPECTS?! I need to live vicariously.


You crack me up!!!

I agree---let's hear some good stories! Not gossip...not fiction...good testimonies!

OK, Sc1---is it the Russian gal or someone else? How did she bless ya? How did you bless her?


Um, not dated the Russian gal yet. My new friend my church had me meet. We have gone on a traditional date.

I hadn't called her since then, just taking it easy, being a brother. How's that?

There. Is that good?


Yes, brother, it is. {Hope you didn't think I was bugging you about it... Just wanted to assure you that we weren't requiring details you didn't want to share...and that real-life stories are more food to the soul than fiction. But you know I'm not bashing fiction books!} I think it is... You know how slow or fast to take this... We're all supporting you in your endeavors.

Elena1030,

There's no way anyone can bug me about any of it. I choose to talk about it, I expect discussion, ehhe.

No, just wanted to show that things are slow in my dating life. My new friend, she's definetly the shy type, and a little difficult to read. So, I take it slow. She mentioned having an ex that used to tease her too much, or something, so I just take it easy.

Besides, she is my sister in Christ, what am I rushing? I do seek more ladies to bless and be blessed by. Friendship rocks!

Ok tonight has been rough. I tried to pay bills online and the computer site would not cooperate. I went onto the online dating site to see if my new "match" had communicated (guy must start contact). He closed the match b/c he did not like something i put in there. Can I just say out of five "matches" 4 have not wanted to communicate with me and I closed one. Now I know God has a plan but it is starting to get frustrating. I don't want anything out of God's will, but it would be nice to have someone communcate with me. I guess i can look at it the following ways:
a. I should not have paid for the service
b. God does not want me in a relationship
c. God does not want me in a relationship yet
d. The guys are too picky
e.No one wants to be involved with a single mom

I am sorry for venting but I just felt that someone at CW would understand. I have appreciated the way support is given on this forum.

I prayed for all of you today on several occasions. I hope that all had a good day.

Thanks for lending an ear (eye?!)


Well it is late and I still have two quizzes to make up for school tomorrow. I wish it was Saturday already!

....... can't help with the computer glitches... unless to say that sometimes using a different browser sometimes works.

... but about the online dating site thingymabobber.....

Look. Let God worry about it. If it's not happenin' - it's not happenin' for a reason... and count your blessings that God is protecting you from some unknown thing or issue!!

Trust God.

Don't let yourself believe lies that no man wants to be with a single mom.... hello??? I'm a single mom.... I've got 3 daughters, 2 freaked out dogs, 4 dwarf hamsters and a rat....

.... and ya know what? I was blessed with a boyfriend a little while ago! (yes... we met on relationships.com)

Now.... about the profile thingy.... I was honest.... I put a tidbit of information in there that if my boyfriend would have read it a little more closely, he would have thrown my profile out the window....

.... I wanted to be completely honest... and I was willing to let God work out the details...

Trust God.

Keep seeking Him with all you have.... He is getting you ready for the right guy.... and at the same time... He is getting that guy ready for you!!

(I have to admit that if I would have met my boyfriend at any other time in my life... it wouldn't have worked out..... Trust God and His most excellent timing.)

I'd totally forgotten about that, R8ch!

How are things going?

skl: R8ch has given some good advice. I'll add that you should have a serious pray about it.

Thanks everyone! I am ok, just too much at one time last night. I am not so preoccupied with finding someone that I can't see straight. I have learned to to be content right now. I just keep thinking about how much God loves me and just keep telling Him how much I love Him; then I tear up and am thankful for the growth I am seeing. I definitely don't want to repeat my past . There is a new guy at work who is nice and easy on the eyes but our schedule is so different there is not even a chance to get to know him. I just smile and say hello when I see him. If God wants me to know more about him then the door will open. I am the type of person who does not date well - meaning I am not one who wants to date a lot of people. I would just rather have the right one show up and both of us just know!!! Whoever he is must love my daughter as his own. She is easy to love anyway!!! He must also understand that my ex will be in the picture for the rest of my daughter's life. Also, my family has issues

Your blog is a treat Alwaysr8chel...I enjoy you CW bloggers!
I needed a lot of the things you wrote about and especially this, so thanks:

There needs to be four elements to making Godly decisions… I find it ironic that I really never put all these things together before. I also wish that I would have been more diligent in making better decisions. I will not kick myself now, instead, I will learn from pastor Rick and try to apply these points to my life from here on out.

Decisions need to be


based on God’s word

bathed in prayer

bring common sense, wisdom and counsel to bear

backed by circumstances.

Well, God is good. As always He leads me where I need to be. I needed to read this. I am 33, 4 years single and starting to get tired of waiting. As I read this the word came to me saying. "Be not weary in well doing for you shall reap in due season if you faint not. "

Praise God for His goodness!! And for the ability to wait on him. I know that He has the perfect one for me and I don't want no junk... so I will be content waiting. (Lord please not too long )

Be encouraged. Been there done that. Hey, still doing it. But God will be faithful to you if you are faithful to Him. Yes, it is scary. I also believe that God is using this time to bring me closer to Him. Do not get sidetracked. I believe that is part of the reason why I have been single so long. You can make it.

Please don't let that discourage you. I am a single Mom and I know there are men out there that don't mind dating a single Mom. Honestly, you don't want a guy that can't accept the fact that you're a single Mom anyway.

As hard as it is, try to remain faithful to God in knowing that He has a plan for you. I'm in the same boat, so I know how you feel ! I am a bit discouraged sometimes because I feel like my biological timeclock is ticking but I trust that God has His plan for me, whatever it is !

Good luck to you !

Thanks LaToya and Believe. It is nice to have someone who can relate. I don't have friends in my situation.

It is all good for now.

The verse was a nice reminder.


Keep me in your prayers next Saturday. My brother is getting married and the ex will be there. I have been to weddings alone before and it is fine, but a family wedding with the ex there is harder to deal with.


Be blessed and have a great weekend.
