I am a single female in my mid-###s and have been a Christian for only 3 years. Although my parents identify as believers, I was not raised in a household where Christ was made a priority and where His Word was taught and modeled. I have reached a very tough period in my life-- a time of reflection where I am coming to terms with some of the resentment I have held on to, the envy I have for those I see in supportive Christian families, and the fact that I am trying to put together an idea of "normalcy" completely on my own without having had that idea modeled for me in my childhood. As I go through this period, I am struggling and really longing for comfort, fellowship, and support. I have made many poor decisions in the past in regards to relationships, and although I know God has forgiven me, I struggle with shame, fear, and feelings of rejection.
My prayer request is that a powerful woman of God will step into my life to give me this support I am looking for. Although I may seem much too old to ask to be "mothered" by an older female, that is definitely the desire of my heart--- to have someone to just love me and walk alongside me as I begin to restructure my idea of relationships, as I begin seeking the husband God has for me, and as I move forward in my walk to become the woman God created me to be. I long for that sense of mothering, and the wisdom that comes from those relationships. I feel like I have been trying to make my way in the dark, trying to feel my own way through, for years-- and in the process, have made many poor choices. I just desire someone to come alongside and speak with me about these things, to model for me what a Godly woman should be, and to help me to throw away all this "junk" attached to my idea of relationships and begin truly understanding how to uphold positive Godly relationships.
