wedding bells

Went to a bridal shower tonight. Lots of women, lots of marriage-talk, lots of oohing and aahing. I'm happy for the bride; she used to be a good friend of mine. But as I listened to all the discussions about married life, I couldn't help feeling left out, forgotten, alone.

Then I talked to a friend on the phone, about nothing really, but she's single. Then I talked to a friend online, and she shared some of the same thoughts and fears. I'm not really alone–that's just a lie from Satan. And being married isn't the ultimate joy or happiness–being with Jesus is. I've got all I need. He's enough.
