Living Single – Feeling Left Out
Last night I attended a church meeting hoping to make some connections. Since my divorce a couple years ago I have struggled with making new contacts and friends. I have noticed that my patience for people has even diminished causing me to isolate myself more than normal. I guess I have lost confidence in others because of the divorce. To be honest I really didn’t pay much thought to it but recently I have begun to examine myself to see if I can figure out what is going on. The meeting was good but unfortunately the group was not what I was looking for. I was surrounded by people in their 20’s and/or families in their 30’s. As a single parent I really feel left out, even more so as a single dad. There seems to be a class or a group for single women but rarely for single dads. I would love a class like that! As a man living single is very hard. I really want to do what is right but I struggle with desires and female companionship. I often pray to God to help me be happy with where I am ...

What a blessing that God has bestowed upon you. I just read your blogs and I wanted to give you a word of encouragement. God will never give us more than we can handle. I know this from experience. I used to have this beautiful little girl-Samantha Nicole until her bio-mom wanted her back. We fought for custody and I lost but was granted visitations. Everytime I had to drop her off - I would be so depressed and when I got out of my cloud it was almost time to go back and get her. I was then attacked by a 150lb rottweiler that did severe damage to my face. I know that everything that we go through has a Purpose - God is only strenghtening us. He said we will go through the fire but we will not be burned. Everything that you are going through and dealing with - just hand it to the Lord - because He said He will meet all our needs according to His riches and glory. Spending quality one on one time is way more important than running around and hanging out all over time. God will give you the wisdom to make all the right choices in your life and in the life of your daughter.
God Bless you!!!
