Setting Up Your Single Friends (??)

Carolyn McCulley has a great post over at RadicalWomanhood and I encourage you to check it out:

In it, she responds to a single woman who wrote this:

“Mandy said that her cousin invited her to dinner to meet Randy. This is where my question comes in…what do you think about being set up to meet a person of the opposite sex?

I am 23 and single, and have encountered a few instances where people have wanted to set me up with a guy. I tend to back away from these opportunities because I do not feel like I should play any part in trying to find “the one.” Rather, I desire to trust in the sovereignty of God and want to allow Him to work His will in my life.”

Interesting question, don’t you think?

Especially for those of us who DO pray for our single friends and, as we believe is appropriate and wise and loving, DO introduce them one to another.

I really appreciate Carolyn’s thoughtful response and would love to know what you think too.

Hope you have a blessed Friday! We’re snowed in here–but hopefully we’ll be able to make it out and about this afternoon for group violin lessons.

Blessings!

PS
Especially lately, I’ve had (silly, I know!) thoughts about doing a blog post on some of the wonderful singles in my life–with the hope that I might help them to connect with, well, wonderful spouses. But I don’t think that’s what Carolyn is talking about. 😉
