As singles, especially if family lives far away, it's vital to share our journey and burdens as a family in Christ. Singles have a unique but no lesser opportunity to glorify God and grow in Christ-likeness. This forum is a place to share your journey and gain encouragement from fellow travelers!</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60217.2664)</generator><item><title>Re: Likes, Dislikes</title><link>http://communities.kintera.org/FAMILYLIFEBLOG/forums/thread/53589.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 May 2009 14:07:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">23c484b6-a3e8-4df3-984c-a5dd0e725807:53589</guid><dc:creator>elmerperkins</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://communities.kintera.org/FAMILYLIFEBLOG/forums/thread/53589.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://communities.kintera.org/FAMILYLIFEBLOG/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=983&amp;PostID=53589</wfw:commentRss><description>I also hate the loneliness, the going to bed alone, being short of money and always struggling to make it.

&lt;P&gt;I hate the lonliness; the cooking and eating alone, going to bed alone, being short of money and having to work really hard to make it. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The best thing about being single is the "freedom" you enjoy. You come and go, you do as you wish. Nobody will say anything about it. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;"....I hate the lonliness; the cooking and eating alone, going to bed alone...."&amp;nbsp; Me too.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I think the ability to be able to work late or leave early is o.k.&amp;nbsp; I also love the quiet in the morning, since I'm pretty introverted.&amp;nbsp; I've been able to save more, since being single, too.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Likes, Dislikes</title><link>http://communities.kintera.org/FAMILYLIFEBLOG/forums/thread/48134.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 21 Mar 2009 03:29:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">23c484b6-a3e8-4df3-984c-a5dd0e725807:48134</guid><dc:creator>Hot Ice</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://communities.kintera.org/FAMILYLIFEBLOG/forums/thread/48134.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://communities.kintera.org/FAMILYLIFEBLOG/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=983&amp;PostID=48134</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;I struggle with the constant sexual temptation, having nobody to target with the most intimate thoughts/goals/dreams, the ever-increasing longing to have somebody to wrap my arms around.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;LI&gt;The constant buildup of the longing for someone to target with all I have to give;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Longing to have someone to wrap my arms around at night (and the day);&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Constant sexual temptation;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I guess the ability to work late or leave early if I need has been O.K.&amp;nbsp; I've been able to save more, as well.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Likes, Dislikes</title><link>http://communities.kintera.org/FAMILYLIFEBLOG/forums/thread/47389.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Mar 2009 21:46:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">23c484b6-a3e8-4df3-984c-a5dd0e725807:47389</guid><dc:creator>TrueWoman</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://communities.kintera.org/FAMILYLIFEBLOG/forums/thread/47389.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://communities.kintera.org/FAMILYLIFEBLOG/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=983&amp;PostID=47389</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;I hate the lonliness; the cooking and eating alone, going to bed alone, being short of money and having to work really hard to make it. &lt;/P&gt;
