Five Minute Friday – Afraid

Pssst…

Can I be perfectly honest with you-

I am afraid that I will never get married or have children

I am afraid that when I get old I will be alone

In my heart of hearts I am afraid

Most people see me and see a very confident woman who is loving life. I keep busy and try new things. I don’t allow my marriage status (or lack of it) define who I am but I’m afraid that I will never experience what my heart truly wants – to be in a family of my own.

I love my family and being an aunt but I would love to be a cheerleader for my own children

I would love for my husband to look across the room and smile when he sees me

but I am afraid that God may be saying NO to that desire.

I try not to dwell on it to much but if I’m honest

I am afraid I will always be single.

    I am in a different situation, but have a similar fear. I am 38. I have been married and I have a son, but I was widowed about a year and a half ago, 3 days after my 3rd wedding anniversary. Although I am not ready for a relationship yet, there is a part of me that fears being alone in the long term. Thank you for sharing so honestly. It is a very real and honest post.

    Blessings to you!
