“To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.” -Colossians 1:27-28

Fear and Self Loathing
So today I was confronted by this cute little old man as the "single one." As if it were some horrible sin that I should be single. Today was bad enough to begin with. There is a line from a song I love and it goes like this: "Darkness is a harsh term don't you think, and yet it dominates the things I see." Today was one of those days were everything was a shade of black. I don't know if listening to all the depression and issues in Eat, Pray, Love is getting to me, but I was not a happy person this morning. I hated life, I hated my job, and most of all - I hated myself. The pretty, but can't quite be beautiful girl that is too clever for her own good and somehow completely unlovable and easily forgettable. I kept pushing those things from my mind but pop, pop, pop - up they'd come again. Like mental vomit - I honestly felt sick. This single comment added to it - failure me still can't get a man! What a pity for someone as cute as me to be single. The "Daily Challenge" that popped into my inbox the other day was to genuinely compliment someone - I scoffed as I thought, I can't honestly compliment myself about anything. What can I do right?!? I'm just the ugly, unrefined, unmarried, and unaccomplished. Am I just afraid of me - fearful of accepting myself?
