How to live the single life after 40

This one is short and sweet. My “origin” will also shine through. 😉

There are 3 “M”s that intensified at 40 and beyond (and not necessarily in this order) …

1. MAN: Yuh nuh fine di Man yet? (Translated: Have you not yet found your significant other?
2. MARRIED: When yuh guh get Married? (Translated: Why are you not yet married?)
3. MI GRAN PICKNEY: When mi ah guh get mi gran pinkney dem? (Translate: When will I get grand children?)

Men, not to leave you out. In your ears are … WOMAN – WEDDING – & WEE-ONES

Can I get an Amen from my fellow 40-Forward Singles?!

This is my standard response to the “Man” and “Married” questions … My bible tells me that when a man findeth a wife he finds a good thing. If he is out hunting for me and I am out hunting as well, one of two things can happen: he misses me because I am hiding in the bushes on the hunt; or I shoot him dead in the hunt. To prevent any of the two situations I will continue to wait “in the way”. (Selah)

The marriage ministry (yes, it is a ministry) should not be entered into lightly (& desperately). Allow God to be your matchmaker and your ministry will be effective and long lasting.

As for “Mi gran pickney” … I know the chief OBGYN and He has a very good track record. If you don’t believe me ask Sarah and Abraham.

These are not flippant responses. They are bible.

We are told to, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added onto you.” These things include (wo)man, marriage, and wee-ones.

40 Year Old Singles, refuse to get caught up in what I call the 40-frenzy. It is as though time is running out; the biological clock is ticking. News flash, God knows it is ticking. If one is not careful one could get caught up in the panic and hysteria, and the next thing is bangarang (trouble). Rest in the promise that no good thing will He withhold from us.

My fellow single 40-Forwaders, the 3-M squeeze and pressure is real. And because of this, many have become really anxious about this “singleness”. I’m here to tell you (& encourage you) to “Nuh mek nuh baddy pressure yuh” (Translated: Allow noone to pressure you into something you don’t want to do). Wait. Oh by the way, there ain’t nothing wrong with you! Wait!

The M’s and W’s will come. They may be closer than you think. 😉

Don’t get yourself entangled in anything that is not part of God’s divine design for your life.

Let us be content, bloom, flourish and live life to the fullest while we wait!
