Psalm 149:4

"For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation."

Question for you:

I will turn 27 this month. I am still single, I have no children and I am a professing Christian. I don't want to be single, I want to get married and spend the rest of my life being a wife and mother. That's it. My life goal summed up in that. Some of you may think that's a horrible dream, and those of you living it know it's no small feat. But unlike other dreams mine isn't something I can just go chase, it requires a man....

So how exactly do I achieve my dream?

I would love some feedback.

I am not an internet dating type, so please don't suggest it. My technological capabilities are slim to nil and I prefer to marry someone I've known for years.

As a Christian woman in a conservative church, this is a tricky task, and being in an almost no singles church it's even harder. And when you think about the number of Christian men to Christian women, it's clear that there aren't enough men to go around.

...So do I continue to wait and do my very best to kill this dream so as not to grow more bitter each year?

...Do I marry a non believer?

...Do I move to be with more men my age?

I know I'm not the only girl in this boat, and I know that there are those of you out there who have thoughts and advice. Bring it on.
