안녕하세요. It feels like it has been way too long since my last post. I am so sorry. I know that you missed me! (admit it you have) But I have been crazy busy these days. I didn't even realize it's almost been 2 months since my last post. So much has been happening lately that it's been hard to get back here and keep you updated.
But before I go any further, let me bring your attention to the very first word that I typed up top. You may be thinking to yourself...What is that? Well, it's actually a Korean word and it means....... Hello! It's been such an interesting experience learning this language. I don't know what it is but I just find it so fascinating and cool! It is also very hard to learn. Maybe it's because I have gotten older and more forgetful of things. Those that have been helping me with learning it, have all shared with me that it is a hard language to learn. So I don't feel as bad. Well maybe a little. Ha! But for now I have to study, study and study as my tutor would say. I can hear her little voice in my head right at this moment!
Anyway, I want to just touch on something briefly today. Lately, it has really been on my heart to just talk about being single. You know I just have to be a little direct and just put it out there. Some days it is just hard being a single woman! Some days it can be a struggle. I can't put it in any other way than that. Don't get me wrong, I have my good days and my challenging days. God has really allowed me to do so many great things because of my singleness. It's a different kind of freedom to have. Now, for those of you that are married and reading this please hear what I am about to say. I want to be sensitive to everyone that is reading this now. I want you to understand where I am coming from. Being single has given me the opportunity to serve God in a whole different way. I'm thankful and grateful for that.
Yet, there are times when the little moments start to play with my emotions. For instance, when I'm going to a store to pick up a few items and I pass by a couple holding hands. Romantic movies alone are tough to watch at times! Getting invited to yet another wedding and being told....Oh, you're time is coming. Or when I'm at church on a Sunday morning and I'm surrounded by married couples. And when people ask me if I'm married and I tell them that I am not, they just give me that look. It's what I call the "Sorrowful Look". They look at me and touch my arm. It's usually followed by these words...Oh, I'm so sorry. Why? I'm so confused! Did something just happen to make you give me that look? So when did being 'single' become some sort of disease?
Just so that you all know...please don't think that I am being a 'Bitter Betty' about all of this right now! These are all things that I have experienced for myself. I think that I will end these thoughts today on this note. For all of you that are on your 'single journey' right now please feel free to share your thoughts. Don't be afraid to share because I've already told you some of mine. I want to hear from you. What's the hardest thing for you right now?
