Living Single

Wow! Who would have thought that at 27 years old, I would still be a single woman. Growing up, I always thought I would get married around 21 or 22. Knowing what I know now, I am so glad that I didn't get married at that time. The last thing I want is to enter into a marriage that would end prematurely. I know who I am now, but I know that when I was 21 and 22, I had no idea. And if I didn't know who I was, and hadn't experienced all that I have, there is no way that I would have been able to commit my life to someone else. Back then, I probably didn't love myself the way I do now....and loving yourself is always the first step, before you can love anyone else. My love of God and my relationship has grown so much in just the past year, its ridiculous. But I am thankful for that and everything that has happened that has propelled me to this point. Truly knowing the love of God and loving myself, after all these years, I am ready to love my husband....whomever he may be. But don't get it twisted....I'm in no rush. :) God is still preparing me. I am still a work in progress. I welcome the changes. As a single person, its the ideal time for me to continue the work of God. Once I'm married, that won't change, but it will add another person that I will have to focus on. Right now, its just me, God, and my son. As long as its that way, I am happy....But I know when I am blessed to have my husband find me, I will be happy too. I'm sure there is no way to describe the feeling of being in a life-long commitment with someone that you not only love, but with someone who loves you conditionally as well.

Be blessed and continue to grow in Christ. Find yourself through HIM. Live your life according to HIM and what it is that He has for you to do. Don't worry about your future or anything else. As long as you walk with Christ, everything else will fall right into place. (If you can't tell, I am telling myself this, as I tell you.) As with everything else, it may not happen when you want it to, but it will happen in God's time. Be patient. Trust God. Watch Him work.
