As a nearing 40 divorced Christian woman who always desired a family, I can attest that looking ahead to the second half of life sans children can feel very dark. I innately miss the purpose that childbearing provides. God in his grace has given me glorious hobbies and relationships though so I have no time for tv, but can still work on limiting scrolling…. Massive culture reckoning is definitely needed! Great thoughts…
Thanks, Bethany, and I'm so glad to hear you have good relationships. I worry about those who are soon to realize they too miss that sense of purpose but haven't similarly found other durably good ways to spend their time and efforts.
Thanks Bonnie! It’s taken time and some struggle for sure but God has provided, and who knows what more good He has for my life too! And yes, I worry for many people as well too! Definitely space for the body of Christ to move!
