When Will You Get Married?
I am not bitter about the fact that I am not married yet. Have I ever been sad about my single status? Absolutely! It's funny how an arranged marriage can seem tempting at times, haha. Do I wish that I were already married? Yes.... and no. Sometimes I really think it would be nice to be with someone like a husband and wife are together-- caring for each other and loving each other. But on the flip side, I have experienced some INCREDIBLE things during the recent years that I know wouldn't have been possible if I were married. I am not going to say that my single life is better than if I had a married life already... But I'm also not going to say that a married life for me already would be better than the single life I've been leading!
I am happy. I am healthy. I am strong. I am driven. I am talented. I am grounded. I am educated. I am innovated. I am awesome. I really am-- and I don't mean this in a conceited way! I mean this in the sense that I am confident with where I stand right now. Am I purposely delaying marriage or putting it off? No. But I'm not going to put my life on hold for a potential husband to come along. I like to think that my future husband will be one lucky man to have me-- but I also plan to be a lucky woman with whoever I choose to marry! I'm not settling.
So when will I get married? I really don't know! But I intend to keep holding out for whatever God has in store for me-- whether it means there's a marriage in my mortal future or not.

As for a few more happy tidbits from my day...
I got to hang out with many members of the Indian Board for RSOI! I didn't attend their Board Meeting, but I did hang around during their meeting with Charles, Vadivel, and Mr. Johnson! After the meeting we had lunch with all of the board members, and it was lovely :)
This is Rachel-- my Indian Me! :) |
I also got to meet my new friends Marcus and Sally for "Tea Time", which ended up being an early dinner :) I am so grateful that our friend Kofi connected us with one another! And happy birthday again to Sally-- It's an honor that she would share part of her special day with a stranger like me! :)
