A Season of Singleness

Autumn arrived with the changing of the leaves and a chill in the air. In Genesis, God used the seasons to show passages of time, one giving way to the other. Yet as we get older, we notice that there are some seasons in our life that go on longer than we’d like and with it comes an uneasiness in our hearts (more on that later).

 

This season for singleness doesn’t have to be a holding period for your life. I believe God has many wonderful things in mind for us:

Purpose – There are many women who feel like their purpose is to be a wife and a mother. Yet, what happens when those purposes feel frustrated?  Friend, can I tell you that your meaning and worth are not found on being a wife or a mother but a daughter of the Most High God. He created us with purpose and our season of singleness gives us the perfect opportunity to seek it out. We are able to serve our local churches and our communities, our families and friends with wholehearted focus.

The Top 3 Negative Phases of Singlehood and Ways to Overcome Them

Are you entirely content with being single? There were a few times in my life where I could say that this was true of my story, but there were also certain phases I passed through on my journey to total contentment, where this was certainly not the case.  Thankfully phases are meant to be passed through, not dwelled in, so they didn’t last forever.

If you find yourself stuck in one of the following phases, I’d love to share some tips on some of the ways I was able to get through each one. Hopefully they'll be of help to you as well. 

Phase 1: Cray cray for a bay bay

Single & Focused on Eternity

Life is not a waiting room for marriage so why do we act like it?

Most of us know the great commission: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Matthew 28:19-20 This is what life as a Christian should be about. Unfortunately some women's obsession over their desire to be married has caused them to forget this.

No where in that scripture does it say only when you get married go & make disciples. Nope. We can go & make disciples right now as a single woman being led by God. But who can honestly say that as a single they've been doing this?
