I am so sorry that I don’t have a post to share this week! During my non-working hours, I have been spending my free time responding to your awesome emails. And, I have been working on a big project with my mom!
You might remember that I asked my mom to write down 7 short stories about her family. I posted the story a couple of weeks ago about how her parents met. Other short stories include her brothers returning home from war, her father’s death at 53 years old, her family coming to America and the loss of her 6 month old brother and her 11-year-old brother ~ both to pneumonia.
I typed these short stories and added photos. Then, I created a 33 page book that we are going to give to our relatives when we go to our family reunion at the end of July. This project has been so exciting and fun to do. We are really excited! Such a family treasure.
This week I thought I would repost an article I wrote a while ago. Also, I want to fill you in on some upcoming posts. First, the upcoming posts:
1. You Are Enough
2. Online Dating ~ First Contact Advice
3. A Letter To My College Self
Reposting this along with a snippet below: 7 Myths That Singles Must Resist: #3 Something is Wrong With Me
“…I also felt very confused by what I was observing all around me. I knew that I was not perfect but I wondered why everyone else (and their imperfect and often unchaste selves) seemed to get married. Why not me? What was wrong with me?
Well, I now have the benefit of hindsight and I am here to tell you that there was nothing wrong with me. I also want to reassure you that there is nothing wrong with you.
The ‘one’ that God has for you will love you despite your faults. There is nothing wrong with you that will keep him from marrying you. Trust and wait. I know it is hard.”
Thank you for your patience as I catch up on my emails. I love hearing from you girls!
God love and bless you!

Thank you for the reminder, Cindy! Like Katie, it’s sometimes an everyminuteeveryhour reminder that I am not crazy and there is nothing wrong with me. 🙂 It’s nice to get affirmation from the outside sometimes! haha.
Glad it helped, Jen! Love to you, Cindy
love hearing updates from you, and love the idea about the reunion book:) Hope all’s well.
Thank you, Christina! Love to you, Cindy
I have said those first words more times than I can even count. I even think them whenever I am in our local walmart store (this particular one draws all kinds of crazy) – it was such a distraction that I have actually vowed never to enter that particular store again. It’s hard to remember you aren’t defective because you’re single. It takes a conscious and active thought process to combat it for me.
Katie, you crack me up with the boycotting Walmart thing! I know you girls are under attack constantly with what the world presents to you. Someday, you too will look back and realize it was just a timing thing. Praying for you, Cindy
well a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do – just hope that guy of mine has changed his shopping habits to Aldi and Target too! 😉
