I’ve been thinking a lot about family life and Christianity. To me having a husband and children is the ultimate reward.. I have neither. No matter how hard I pray and how “open” I am.. I can’t seem to ever find my own family.

Age?

I have been there before and was in the same boat for the longest time. I know it is hard. Praying for you.

Have you watched any of Jackie Francois's videos about singleness? I find they help when I'm feeling the way you are.

Do you have an older person/couple at church that you could talk to? One of the younger women at church came to my husband and I a couple of years ago and we were able to talk about how some of her wish list wasn’t realistic in our area. Not that God couldn’t provide it but perhaps she was creating such a hurdle that no one God sent her way would she have seen. Example: one of her requirements is a man taller than her but she is 6’2. She was limiting amazing men because she wouldn’t consider a 6 ft man. While that is a funny example there were other ones that she needed to decide if it was a requirement or a nice to have.

Been there too, but I know that God loves us too much to answer our prayers at anything other than the right time. I also have to trust that God’s plans for my life are designed to fulfill the deepest desires of my heart.

Been struggling with my ADHD/depression more over the past few weeks than ever before. I am at a serious risk of losing my job for failure to meet billables and I can’t bring myself to fix the problem. I am normally an over achiever, but new to this job- so I don’t have a reputation to lean on here. I have not disclosed my conditions. Literally terrified and not sure how to pull myself out of this. Grateful for any advice or just to know others have made it through something similar.

NYC Freelancers! My Medicaid is ending soon and I need to start making health insurance decisions (lame). My current agency is offering me FT and I’m pretty terrified as I feel like I’m going to sell away my freedom. Their health insurance is pretty good and allows me to put my partner on it. I’m trying to also rationalize paying for my own in NYC but it’s so expensive ($500+/mo). I go to the doctor fairly often. Single NYC freelancers (no kids), what do you pay monthly or yearly? Worth it?
