On a side note: I cannot wait to start my journey with the man God has for me. I cannot wait to marry my best friend. I very much look forward to this moment, when I walk down the aisle and look into his eyes and see forever. Right now, I am embracing singleness knowing that it is a gift from God!

Single?
From July 1, 2008 until about 2 weeks ago, I believed that I would forever be single. I honestly believed that I screwed up and lost my chance for a "happily ever after" ending. I dreaded waking up every morning not having someone to say "Good Morning" to. I thought there was something wrong with me because 1. I'm single 2. 90 percent of my friends are married 3. I'm nearing 25 rapidly. I then began to realize that being single is not a curse, but a blessing. Don't get me wrong, I do want to be married and have children but at this point in my life, it is not in God's plan to be married right now. I've decided that instead of dreading being single, I just need to embrace this journey. I should enjoy getting to know myself. I have grown, probably without ever knowing and I have learned a ton about myself. That is probably why I decided to start a new blog. All the negativity from three years ago is no longer who I am and no longer has a hold on who I am. God has a plan and the perfect man! So why dwell on it? I am going to go out there and enjoy life as a single lady until that moment comes!

Great post, Katie! God's timing is NEVER our timing, and many times wants us to focus on something He is building up in our lives. I'll be 30 in January, and about 90% of my friends are married and have children (who are infant-teenage years old), and I've also seen a few friends go through divorces, so I know God is teaching me many, many things :) Wait on Him, because when you do, it doesn't matter when you get married, but that you married the one He has for you.
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely not alone out there, Katie! God should be your "man" and I know he is!! I was 24 before I even had a boyfriend, before I even kissed!! You WILL have that future husband and kids you want, but like you said, embrace being single and enjoy life's happy moments! :)
