I'm 27 years old. Single. Working on my second bachelor's degree. That's right two bachelor's instead of a master's. On the brink of starting the career I want. My family gets crazier every day, and my friends my age keep pairing up and starting their own families right and left--which seems to cause verbal dysentery of such phrases as "It would be so nice if you were part of a couple, too" or "It's so odd to me that there are people my age who are single and don't have kids." or this one from Captain Obvious, "You're a nice Christian girl, why don't you try to meet someone at church?"
Lately, I've been listening to Cobra Starship's "Good Girl's Go Bad" on my iPod. It makes me think I could be bad, too. All my life, I've been the good girl. I try to make sensible decisions and live the life I think God wants me to live, and then I look around and think 'this is it?' Obviously, God is in control of the universe and knows much better than I do; but seriously, I can't figure out if I've horribly screwed up somewhere along the way or if this is really God's best for my life! This must be my life's equivalent to the Israelites 40 years in the desert before entering the promised land.
