Rejoicing in Singleness

What does Valentine’s Day mean to me? Well let me tell you...

It’s not some day where I feel sad, depressed, or angry because I’m single, rather, it’s a day where I spend a little more time thinking and praying about my future husband. Every day, I pray for my future husband. God has really given me a desire to pray for my future husband, even though I do not know who he is. At about age 16, I started feeling the urge to pray and write to my future husband and marriage, and since then, I have spent time every day praying just for him. Through praying, I have felt this connection to my future husband. That may sound confusing or weird, but I seriously feel that. It’s like I know him but I don’t at the same time. It’s overwhelming to know that I am praying for someone I haven’t met, yet I care so much about him. 

I am thankful for this time that the Lord has given me to focus on Him. I know during this time I am able to grow in my relationship with Him without any other distractions. I also see this time as a time of growth. The Lord is working in my life and shaping me into the person He desires me to become. The more I grow in my single season, the more positives I bring into my future relationship/marriage. It’s really cool to look at it in that way. I know God is changing me to be the person my future husband needs.

I am filled with the joy of Christ knowing His ways are prevailing in my life. He is doing something incredible in my heart and life, and it’s something that will benefit my future marriage. I know in God’s timing He will bring my future husband into my life. Until then, I get to experience this time with the Lord where my passion and focus is on Him alone.

I am excited to see who God has for me to spend the rest of my life with, but until then, I must be patient. Some days are easier than others, but I know it will be worth it. Who knows how long my singleness season will last, but I know by praying for my future husband, I can already take a part in my future marriage. How beautiful is that?

With blessings,
