I’m female and that is what females do. We have babies. Lots of babies." I know how you feel and my frustration only grows higher regarding this issue because you see, in Africa women of our age are supposed to be married and to have children. I don't know why my people look down at singleness. I am not truly driven to get married or to have children but if I make this statement in some circles of mine, they will think I'm crazy or I need help to find a husband!(and they will surely help me to find one!!!)(laugh) I believe that celibacy is a gift from God and as long as you focus on God and you're in His will, Girl!You're OK!I would like us to discuss more in depth about your post in the "real" world--you know what I mean?! Cheers! Dear Melissa,
