Waiting for that special someone
In this particular season of my life, God is dealing with me on a lot of things. If I'm going to reach my true destiny and serve God with all my heart, I'm going to have to let go of some things and lose the baggage that is hanging me back from reaching the next level with God.
The last couple of weeks God has been dealing with me about my faith for a husband. Even though my words show I have faith, my actions do not. I yearn so much for that divine connection with a Godly man. A partnership between two beautiful people who will continue the journey with Christ in pursuit of achieving His beautiful purpose for our lives. I'm believing that in God's perfect time, he will bless me with this priceless and amazing gift, but I can't be passive while I wait for my dream to come true. I have to take responsibility in being prepared, having the right mind set and making the best out of my situation. I have become passive in my faith and my mind set and attitude was wrong.
Lately I had in a why 'let myself go'. I have lost pride in my body. I became lazy about working out, eating what I know is right for me to eat, and dressing up. Being is a new area where nobody knew my past, it was kind easy to put less effort in the things I used to do because they don't have anything to compare me to.
My attitude about my situation has become wrong . I had started to become frustrated because I feel like there are no eligible nice, godly, attractive men around this area. Plus I have been frustrated because of the fact that I don't get out much to meet people because I'm always at work and because I work a random schedule. I was putting limits on God. God works in mysterious and wonderful ways and I need to not forget that.
Although, We need to catch the vision of what our purpose really is. Being single can, of course, be hard, depressing, and even unpleasant at times, but there are so many incredible blessings and opportunities as well. We have to learn to see the glass half full. I've discovered that while finding a helpmate is important to me, it really is not the primary reason for my existence.
We need to open our hearts and our minds to embrace Christ through it all. Because what I have learned is that the fragrance of singleness is not actually rotten sneakers. It's a bottle of perfume valued at a year's worth of wages poured out on the feet of Jesus. It's the love that surrounds us but so often gets displaced by our fast pace and overwhelming obligations. Although it appears to be a cross to bear, we all are called to pick up our cross and follow Christ daily ... married or single.
The comfort in this is that the Lord promises that His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. So when singleness becomes too heavy to bear, reflect on the point that perhaps you are carrying a load not intended for you. Stop. Lay it down, and reach for the arms of the Lord. The pleasure in basking in the Lord's presence is indisputable. When you can do it with singleness of heart, the fragrance is sweet, and all the bitterness of life fades away.
