I read an article today about a woman who has chosen to remain single and celibacy. She has decided to sacrifice her life, body, and the gift of sex; in order to completely dedicate herself to the service of the Lord! She stated that she chooses to be singles and has scriptures to support her choice. She also goes on to say that she has gain clarity and strength because she has dedicated herself to reading her Word, praying, working for the Kingdom, and controlling her thoughts and her body. Further more she stated that she was content in not being married ever, but if God revealed that marriage was right for her she would do it!
All in All it was a very good read and a positive alternative to either being single, dating, or married! It was an awesome read and her viewpoints were clear and nonjudgmental on both sides of the coin! It got me thinking about choosing and what role our choices make when we are deciding on a mate or deciding to live holy in single hood!
Do we have a choice in whether we are to remain single or to be married? Why didn't we come with a meter or a chart letting us know what life choice we should make! She never stated that God chose this life for her, but it was the choice she made to stop commercially dating men and to focus on her work for God. She made some points about how the church doesn't have a place for single women and she definitely stated she was not a nun. So what do you think?
