Today (old calendar) is the
Feast of the Annunciation.
Bright Wednesday
and
the Feasts that signifies the beginning of our salvation.
A friend of one of my dear friends was in town
and prayed with us in church.
A very special day, for which I am so thankful for.
I have been thinking about what it means to grow up;
I am 33 now; some think this is young, some not as young.
All I know is that I need to continue to grow up.
It is confusing - what does it mean to be an adult,
what does it mean to be single and a professional and female?
I see all around me so many of my friends married,
bearing children; to them this is what growing up means,
becoming a Mother.
But what does it mean to grow up
as a single professional female with a masters
(library science for me)
who will, Lord willing, be a working professional.
Who may or may not marry,
who may or may not have children.
What does it mean to learn to leave home
to not cleave to one's parents
but still have no husband to go to?
***
I am slowly learning how to navigate this,
but the road is not easy,
straightforward or
clear cut.
***
I would love to hear your thoughts on what you feel it means
to mature into adulthood,
in whatever situation life has given you.
***
Blessed Bright Week to all!
***
Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!!!
