I did not meet a godly guy in my 20s and 30s. Now I am in my 40s, past the age of having my own children. I know God has a plan for me, but I am sad.

This is a heartbreaking situation. I feel for you. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders though. God has a plan for you and you don’t know what it is yet. I pray that you continue to have the faith and trust you have that things will work out for your good

May God honor you and open that door for you. It is hard to wait and keep trusting. I am in my 30s in the waiting period so I understand how that feels. My prayer for you is God to answer you and bring someone who will wipe the tears and hurt from the waiting period.

Psalms 37:25 “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging for bread.”

God has a plan for you. I’m in my 40’s as well with children but a single mother. Continue to trust God and keep the Faith. We have to be patient as he is patient with us. I’m in a similar situation as far as not meeting someone Godly. He fills all voids. Pray for your heart’s desire and continue to do good. You’ll have joy and happiness! Love him and love you.

Not something to take on without much prayer. But have you considered adoption. It can be such a blessing. May God direct your steps and give you wisdom - He has a plan for you. Many blessings to you.

How do you deal with parental guilt when you have to miss things? When my child was a baby it wasn't as big of a deal as long as I was around for the big stuff and was pulling my weight parent wise.

I think living a frugal life and aiming to retire early makes a lot of sense.

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.
