Happy New Years to everyone! Blessings to you :)!
For the SINGLE WOMAN :D! It's a new year to start everything over, set things right, and fulfill or begin working towards dreams and visions you have, right?!? Well to my dear single women, start the new year knowing that God is your motivator and not a man! It's so easy to believe that "flesh" can ultimately and solely provide us with the greatest support, strength, and motivation in life to accomplish all that we desire to do. Yet, God wants to first have that place in your life where you are seeking for a man to fill! Even when you seem weary throughout this year accomplishing certain tasks before you, recognize that God can re-motivate you to complete it!
It says in Isaiah that God, "will renew your strength like the eagles, when you walk you will not faint, when you run you will not become weary." So in essence God is your greatest support, refresher, back-bone, "who got yo' back," for the new year, throughout the year, and the best part FOREVER!
Single woman know that God wants you crazy in love with Him, let Him be your first thought when you rise in the morning! Challenge yourself to stay committed to God this year and see how you will grow leaps and bounds in His word and in faith!
Distractions may come, but remember the ultimate goal you have. You want to grow leaps and bounds in God!
Girlfriend, you have to be fully persuaded that this moment and season of singleness is worthwhile! Guess what, I can testify it is! Even if family members or outside entities ask, "Do you have a boyfriend, are you seeing someone?", be firm and strong in your answer and say with a smile,"Nope I'm enjoying my time seeking God and getting to know Him."
Throughout this time of seeking God, the Lord will change your perspective of marriage into His perspective! Marriage isn't simply about you being gratified. Marriage isn't about you having legal intimacy (sex). Yes, God says in Hebrews 14:3 that the marriage bed is undefiled, however, this isn't the complete purpose of marriage. If this is your mindset, then honey child you have more to learn in this season.
Marriage is about giving of one's self. The bible makes that very clear when it says the "two shall become one." In order to become one, there has to be a compromise and a denying of yourself. Life stops revolving around you and now revolves around you being a help meet to your husband, as you do it unto the Lord! Life is no longer about your agenda, as it was when you were single. Your husbands agenda now becomes your agenda! You are now to submit to your husband as you would to the Lord.
Therefore, it is so important to take the season of singleness seriously. There is much to be learned. You don't want to be the Unbaked single woman going into marriage, you want to be the Fully baked single woman ready for marriage. I'll discuss the Unbaked vs. Baked Single Woman in a blogpost coming soon.
Enjoy being single, marriage will come and be forever. Singleness is a season; marriage isn't, your committed for a lifetime! God bless you and I'm praying for you girl! :D
Your sister and friend,
Kayla
