Over the last few weeks I have realized something...There are so many women who are single! Maybe it is just me but what is the deal? There are some really great ladies who I know that are not happily married when really that is something they want. They are just waiting for the right man to come along and sweep them off their feet. Why can't a great guy come along, see them, and realize they are amazing? I realize no one can really answer this question with great confidence in an answer. I am not trying to put a bad light on any guys out there but here is my question, Do guys just not care to find a good girl anymore? Do they really want one who can be found in a club, drunk, and shaking their bodies on a dance floor? I know the answer for most men is, "No!" Why do guys think, "I will go out; have my fun, but when I feel it is time to settle down and start a family I want a girl who has done nothing."? Women find this to be the truth in most cases. Now I am not saying this is how it is in every case but a majority of men feel this way. The ladies I know, although they are overall content with their state in life, would like nothing more than to be the wife to a man who will love them and a mother to children. Yet, they are still waiting and hoping someone comes along before their biological clock runs down and they will not be able to have children of their own.
These ladies are single, and still waiting. I am not trying to make them sound desperate because they are not, in any way, shape, or form. They are hard working, have alot going for them, and are happy with what they are doing in life. There is just always that look in their eyes. The one that tells you they have a feeling of loneliness that will be there until that part of life is fulfilled.
Some people do not want to get married. They are just not interested and do not care to marry.
There are many women though who are still single and still waiting. So where are the guys for these ladies? God has a plan for each individual so singular and so unique it cannot even be comprehended but sometimes I wonder why God has not sent someone their way yet. Why He still is making them wait, and why He allows them to continue being single.
Until these women find the right guy though, they will continue to be single and wait for God's timing, his guidance, and the right guy He has for them.

Jackie, I want to tell you the story of a friend of mine from high school named Monica. She went to college to be a teacher. She knew she wanted to be a missionary eventually. One young fella was smitten with her but since he did not feel called to be a missionary, she didn't feel she could date him. Then she went overseas to be a missionary to Antiqua. She taught the missionaris children there for several years. Then she went to Ireland where she again taught the missionaries children. She loved her life, but like you said she was "waiting for her Isaac". Well She hosted a ladies bible study over there and the ladies that came got to matchmaking and introduced her to their pastor, an Irish man who had never married and was the same age as Monica...42. Four months later they got married...that was in December. In May they came home to my parents church and mom said they are madly in love and are so sweet together. So even if it seems like forever, God will bring the right man at the right time to these young ladies lives. Have you read Elisabeth Elliot's Passion and Purity book. Also check out Leslie Ludy online she has some great books and things for single girls.
