Living by yourself has its positives and negatives. I enjoy being able to come home and relax on the couch without having to worry about what time I'm eating dinner because it doesn't matter to me. I enjoy being able to come and go as I please. I like being able to decorate how I want and watch TV/movies. But it's getting the point I keep asking God: Why am I still single? It's now holiday time again and a constant reminder I'm single and no one to spend it with. I'm very grateful for all that God has given me. He has given me a full time job, a great family, wonderful friends, a place to live, and his never ending love. Along with many other thoughts running through my head for work, this is going through lately.
Top 5 for the day:
1. 4th grade auditions surprising me
2. Gorgeous sunrise to start the morning
3. Middle School chapel
4. relaxing evening
5. Warm weather
In His time . . .
ReplyDeleteYou truly have had a patient heart the last 6 months . . . I have seen a change for the better in you when it comes to being single and being content. Continue to wait on Him, no matter how difficult that may seem, and work on strengthening your relationship with Him and with yourself. You and I both know that the uncertain and unclear future in our eyes is perfectly clear in His.
Being content is the key. My aunt is still single at age 55 and absolutely content with God's plan for her life--she is able to do much good for our church and for family and friends because of her situation that she might be able to do otherwise. My little sister was feeling the same as you, but put her energy into youth group kids, her nieces and nephews, etc. She too realized that despite her bummer feelings some days, God had a future planned for her--now it's a wedding in February.
ReplyDeleteThe two of you are truly blessings in disguise if no one notices. I know about being content it's just the holidays that make it tough...I've been pretty good for the most part :) Love you both and thank God every day for putting you both in my lives as women of God :)
