the GIFT of SINGLENESS

I know of about 12 people who have either gotten married or are engaged. Everywhere I turn someone else is telling me about their engagement. I'm not as frustrated as I was when my boyfriend and I first broke up, but it's nice that God would still do this for me....

My friend, Sara, had some "great news" to tell me. So she called, and I just knew she was going to tell me that she was engaged to her boyfriend.

Well, God had other plans. She told me that she was going to be teaching missionary's kids overseas during her internship. And-- that God was telling her she had some distractions (aka- her boyfriend). So, she broke up with him. It was so good to hear that she was able to do that, and that she is putting her trust in the Lord. I was like wow! That is so cool. Because it really is amazing and exciting that she would get an opportunity to teach missionary's children. Then I was like I am so happy you told me that, now I know I am not the only one.

God's been comforting me, and teaching me that it is okay for me to be by myself. And that He can get a lot more accomplished with me by myself. I'm in His hands.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."-- Jeremiah 29:11
