"Thank God I'm Single !"

During singlehood, before you make a rash and irrational decision, see your loneliness as a gift and solitude as your time of preparation for a good relationship. It's all about positioning! During her time of preparation, Esther did everything she was taught to do in order to win the eye, admiration and affection of a man she had never met! God positioned her right where she needed to be to win Xerxes' heart and save her people! Singlehood is not a death sentence. It's a time of preparation and positioning! (T.D. Jakes)

"And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves [that is, separate yourselves for a special holy purpose], for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you." (Joshua 3:5)

Glorify Him in SINGLE and MARRIAGE


My goal is to glorify God as long as I'm SINGLE,
and if God decides at some point to give me a spouse,
then I'll glorify Him in MARRIAGE.


"The most beautiful women I've ever observed are those that have exchanged a self-focused life for a Christ-focused one. They are confident, but not in themselves. Instead of self-confidence, they radiate with Christ confidence." -Leslie Ludy.

Jesus completes our hearts

“Don’t waste your time consuming what makes you weak. Spend your time pressing in for the Presence. Become so intimate with Jesus, so full of Him, that it does not matter what challenges in life present themselves to you. You will be so spiritually full that you can feed a multitude of other people’s needs. Jesus will give you more than enough.”  —Heidi Baker.

"So you also are complete through your union with Christ."
(Colossians 2:10)

"A prayer while we’re waiting.."


O Jesus, lover of the young, the dearest friend I have
in all confidence I open my heart to You
to beg Your light and assistance in the important task of planning my future
Give me the light of Your grace,
that I may decide wisely concerning the person who is to be my partner through life

Dearest Jesus, send me such a one whom in Your devine wisdom
You judge best suited to be united with me in marriage
May his/her character reflect some of the traits of Your own Scared Heart
May S/he be unselfish love we both may strive to perfect ourselves in soul and body
as well as the children it may please You to entrust our care

Bless our friendship before marriage, that sin may have no part in it
May our mutual love bind us so closely
that our future home may ever be most like Your own at Nazareth

O Marry immaculate, sweet mother of the young
To Your special care I entrust the decision I am to make as to my future husband/wife
You are my guiding star!
Direct me to the person with whom I can best cooperate in doing God's Holy Will
with whom I can live in peace, love and harmony in this life
and attain eternal joys in the next.

Amen.

"You belong to the Lord" (Eph. 4:1)

Father, I choose to trust in Your timing. I trust that You have my best in mind. I believe that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. Help me to be patient while following your will for my life. Thank You for ordering my steps and leading me in the life of blessings You have in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Don't worry if you're still single, Jesus wants to keep you all to himself just a bit longer. He wants your undivided attention without any interruptions. You are spoken for!

"You belong to the Lord, God chose you to be His." (Ephesians 4:1)

I am waiting for God's will


I’m not waiting for marriage..
I’m not waiting for a man to love me..
I’m not waiting for a white dress and a wedding..
I’m not waiting for a prince charming..

I am waiting for God’s will..
I am waiting for Him to reveal each path He wants me to take..

If marriage is my future, that’s great!
But if not,
I will still praise God,
Because His love is what I need the most.
If He has called me to be single, I will be the best single that I can be..

Right now, I am prayerfully waiting on Him in every area of my life,
But keep doing all I can do while I'm waiting..
Waiting for the day He says “go”, but trusting Him anyway.

God bless,
