It has been months since my last post. Not from lack of content, but rather from lack of uplifting, beneficial content.
The bad hasn’t been that bad… all posts would be unnecessary complaining.
The good hasn’t been that different…all posts would be boring (not that this one isn’t).
That said, this will probably come across like complaining. I honestly don’t mean it to be.
I recently heard a sermon about singleness in the modern church. The speaker noted that singles in the church are, in essence, foreigners in Christian culture.
Tonight a dinner conversation involved someone classifying me as a “Single Adult”, and it made me feel like an outsider.
I lashed back. Excuse me, but I don’t think that I am, or should be, defined by my marital status.
I simply don’t understand what it has to do with who I am.
Should I not be defined first and foremost by my God?
Christian culture would seem to say single people are only half people.
I’m a whole person, trust me.
Granted, this post is probably a bit reactionary and is definitely not complete.
Bear with me. Rawr.
I totally feel you on that. It’s only been more recently that I’ve even heard of people (pastors, churches, etc) addressing the fact that we unmarried folks are just as important, nay vital, as any married person is. Thanks for honestly blogging.
