Love is in the Air YET I Get Questioned...

OMG, I had the most Loving weekend. I watched my little cousin, my cousin's daughter, get married. It was short and sweet. Hung out with the young couple the next day, The new husband totally fits in with our family. And finally one of my "Chosen Family" members announced she Engaged on Sunday. Her fiancé has been welcomed since day 1 of meeting him. So, I totally approve of this engagement. All this excitement for other people and folks want to ask me when will get married. First at my Foundation church by this old deacon and then on Facebook (just this morning). I actually deleted the comment before someone else saw it and an argument exploded. I have some argumentative FBF.

This is one of the annoyances of weddings for me. "When are you getting married"? "Oh, honey you're next". "You're not getting any younger". I didn't grow up with a "must be marriage", "must-have grandkids" type of mother. Actually, until I graduated from college, I thought that attitude was something that was made for TV. Then one of my late neighbors asked it and my grandmother told him off before I could say anything. I think that popped the corked "You need to be married" bottle in my life. Why is there a need for me to be married? Why are people that are not me desperate for me to be married? Oh all the things I am not, why is not being married the concerned?

My mother taught us to "Let God Order You Into Marriage". I am not against being married. I want to spend forever with someone who truly loves God and me. Yes, in that order.  If he loves God and is praying to find me, his bride, I know God is leading him to me And it also means he's preparing me to be found. I feel like it is God's will when or if I get married. I just really want him to Clamp man's mouth shut with the questions about when he wants me to do it.

I refuse to be foolhardy & hasty in attitude to be married. I see so many who are and it pains me. I never gave myself an age to get married and I'm not going to now. Wait that's not true. If I hold out until age 65, he can't say I married him for his money. Yes, that is a joke.

So, get the message out. Don't ask Me when am I going to get married. Go ask God!!! He knows it all. I will not let people stress me out about a life-long decision. Congratulations to my loved ones that were married & got engaged this past weekend. God bless you in the New Step in Life!!!
