The other day I read one of the most amazing blogs. It was about how we waste the years of being single looking for the right person and whining about why were single when in all reality our single years are the best time to grow closer to God and to discover who you really are.
“….making the most of being single means being on your own. It’s just you and God. Being single is about discovering who you are. Setting personal boundaries, knowing your likes and dislikes, your passions, and the desires of your heart……if you don’t know these things about yourself you’re going to date the wrong person. You will end up living a story that is unintended for you.”
I just love that quote. It sums it all up. Being 22 and single means that this is my prime time to grow and learn, however I wont lie this is really hard to live out because I am at the age when most people meet their spouses and get married and start having kids, so its easy to become impatient or distracted.
Lately I’ve found peace by reminding myself of His promises. His promise that He has plans for me (Jeremiah 29:11), that He will fight for me (Exodus 14:14), that He will finish what He has started in me (Philippians 1:16) and that inspite of this life being hard He wont ever leave me (John 16:33). Because the truth is with or without a husband God will follow through on those promises. There is no time like the present to live those promises out.
I highly recommend everyone to read the blog. www.goodwomenproject.com
