Change is on the way. I have been continually changing in the last few years, but I feel that what is coming will be more a sustained change. I welcome it!
God has taught me so much in the last few years, and taken me places with him, I never even knew I could go. It has been so amazing! I have also really tried to enjoy this single season of my life. I have spent most of my 20's a single person, and I only regret that I did not spend the first half loving my life and singleness as I have in the second half. But at least I have come to enjoy this single life as I am still living it.
I think one of the biggest blessings in singleness is that I have been able to have this amazing time where it has just been me and my Creator. I don't have to worry about taking care of a husband, and considering the needs of another. I am free to pick up and go at a moment's notice, (and I do). I have been able to press into my Jesus as life gets tough and have had this amazing relationship, that would have never happened if I had a man in my life to turn to.
My praying friends, who are mostly all married, tell me how lucky I am to be single and in ministry. They say how blessed I am that I can get these good habits established now before I have a family to care for. And I have begun to believe them. Plus is has been really fun praying for each other and praying for the desires of my friends hearts. I love these friendships we share. Through praying together and studying together, I have grown so much closer to God and to them. It has been great! The best part about praying together is that it is easier to spot prayers answered, with more people to remember what was prayed.
This time has also given me years to grow up and allowed me the opportunity to change what I would like in a husband. Had I married 7 years ago, as I wanted to, I would have missed out on so much blessing.
I do hope marriage is in my future, but I have more than enough to do in my singleness. But whatever happens, I know I will be blessed as long as I continue to walk with Jesus.
