I needed to read this, and I know plenty of people who need to read this. I could have written probably 99% of this post (minus the part about living on Pinterest—I hate Pinterest), and I say yes, these are excellent things to work toward. The last one almost made me cry—bless you for putting it out there! It seems unfair (and I know, life isn’t fair) that I’m expected to buy wedding and baby-shower gifts for my married friends when I’m on a tight budget, trying to save for a very uncertain future, and also paying medical bills.
This post certainly doesn’t sound bitter to me. In fact, I was thinking how much sweeter these words are than the ones I would have chosen to express the same ideas! I think this is something every Western-church-going Christian should read and be aware of, single or married.
