So if I haven't been clear...I'll clear up any confusion that may exist! I love being single. The only times that being single is dumpy is V-day, New Years and sometimes during the Holiday season. Even then you can get your girl friends together and still have a blast! I am super happy with everything I have in my life. I am blessed with a good job! I am even more blessed that they pay for me to go to school (now if they paid for books I'd be ecstatic)! I am involved in a wonderful church and absolutely love the people that God put around me. I am busy with my new group of girl friends and I love the postive environment that God put me in. He is amazing and has answered all my prayers....except one. I say this a lot and am not sure quite how much I say it but I wanna clear it up. Eventhough God hasn't answered my prayer for bringing a wonderful man in my life, doesnt' mean that my life isn't just as full as if he were here.
When God brings this man into my life he is going to make sure he is my best friend. He will make sure that he knows me inside out. He knows that this may take a while but it will be worth it when it happens because he will be my partner in life, love and God! This isn't something God trusts just anyone with. It's my heart and God values it and knows that whoever he chooses to have it must take just as good of care of it as he does. This isn't how I always thought, but now I get to believe that God is so wonderful that this is how he thinks for me and my life.
Now by no means has anyone made me feel as though this is all I think about, but I want people to know that I love my life...single or taken. I love every opportunity with each new day that comes my way. I love being me! God will eventually find a man that loves me....and all my quirks! Until then I will be happy with my friends who tolerate me! HAHA!
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." Psalm 37:7 "Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes." Isaiah 40:31 "Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary."
Lamentations 3:22-24 "The unfailing love of the LORD never ends! By his mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself, "The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!"

i was just thinking i needed to dive into this subject...reflect a little, but i found so much truth in your words girl!
ReplyDeleteyou might be seeing me putting my own spin on the blessings of life---including singleness---but ill totally give you credit for it!
Yes! I love the Scriptures you put with this. Being single is a mixed bag, but I think we do pretty well. :) Especially when we let God in to fill the empty space. I forget to do that a lot of the time.
