I am, but I'm not.
I am neither married nor single, I'm divorced. I have children, but they do not live with me. They are a part of me so I am not together. In fact, sometimes I fall completely apart and I have nowhere to run. I live in a house, but I am homeless.
John, I totally get this because I feel it. While my son lives with me, it's just a little over half the time. And someday too soon, he'll grow up and move away altogether. And it seemed like I didn't fit anywhere, at church, at work... because I was neither married nor single. There's a promise I hung onto for a long time. It took too long for my impatience to be fulfilled, but it's happened. It's your promise too, but you've gotta own it.
I meant to say I still feel it, but not as much. God's set me in the most incredible church family, and has brought me some dear Christian friends when I thought it was too late to make new close friendships. There you go. My comment's now much longer than your post.
totally and completely understand. you are normal. this makes perfect sense. this is what i diligently try to impress upon people who are restless in their marriages.

Psalm 68:6. All yours.

Thank you, Cheryl. I will try to 'own it' as you said. It may be a rent to own contract, but eventually I will own it.
And, both of your comments (and now mine) are longer than my actual post. I'm in a short and not necessarily sweet mood these days, it seems.

It seems like a lot of us are hurting these days...and it's not a pleasant place to be.
We feel what we feel. No apologies necessary, friend.
