Walking by faith and trusting completely is not easy, especially when my younger brothers, cousins and friends are all getting married and having kids. I'm consciously choosing to focus on the benefits of being single and childless like having time to work out, rest or do what I want on my own time.

I totally understand how you feel, and knowing that this journey won't be an easy one- mainly due to outside influences- is very important. Also, with the family members and friends who are getting married and having children, it's easy to feel some type of way, but know that God always has your best interest at heart and will bless you abundantly when he feels your time has come. We as human beings are given one day at a time for a reason: to move closer to accomplishing goals, to allow God to work on the things within ourselves that won't be fixed overnight, to have the opportunity to get to know ourselves more intimately so that we may be able to share it with someone else, etc. Every day won't be the same, but it can be very rewarding.
