		<description>I always find it sad when Christian singles aren&#039;t able to realize the blessings of being single, so it&#039;s refreshing to hear that although you&#039;re looking forward to being married, you&#039;re still able to see some of the blessings of singleness.

I think the biggest blessings, as you mentioned in your post, truly are the opportunities singles have that simple wouldn&#039;t be possible with a spouse or children.  I know for myself, just over the last year I&#039;ve been able to devote time and energy to different forms of ministry and several personal hobbies that I wouldn&#039;t have had the time to even consider doing if I was married.  Singleness is an opportunity to devote time to serving, growing and learning to a degree that might not be possible later in life.  It&#039;s also a time of preparation, because whether or not marriage is in any of our future our aim should remain the same -- to become a godly, mature man or woman.

I haven&#039;t had a lot of time to look around your blog, but I&#039;ve enjoyed what I&#039;ve read some this evening.  Keep up the good work. :-)
