It becomes so hard as a single lady watching your peers, age mates getting married and being engaged, right?! It often at times brings you down emotionally but good thing is there is bliss in the waiting.
This is not the time to wallow in deep thoughts, allowing anxiety get the better part of you rather this is the time to involve God in your life more than ever. Ask him to reveal to you what he is trying teach you out of this season, allow him to craft you, to mould you into the lady he wants you to be for the man that he has in store for you. We are God's workmanship (Ephesians 2:10). Ask him to prepare your heart into being a good and submissive wife to your husband,to search your heart and rectify anything that may hinder you from stepping into your wifely season with boldness. When the time is right the Lord will make it happen for you (Isaiah 60:22), in your singleness take pride in serving the Lord whole heartedly, soaking your self into the word of God and praying without ceasing. As a lady in the waiting you have a great advantage since you are able to do lots of things that a married woman isn't able to do because of the many chores and commitment around her. You are able to go for those bible studies,keshas, gigs, meet ups with friends and many other things. Serve the Lord in the days of your youth. Ecc 12:1; Don't let the excitement of your youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, "Life is not pleasant anymore"
Don't look at singleness as a punishment instead take it as an opportunity to work on yourself in becoming a better person, to work on your courtesy, your etiquette and most importantly your relationship with God.The Bible tells us to look at the things that are above(Colossians 3:2)don't be doubtful,don't comprise the wait,don't let the society pressure you that you are running out time, that age is catching up learn to operate in God's timing and not your timing. Jeremiah 29:11; For I know the thoughts I have towards you says the Lord thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end. He knows you desire to get married and he will bring that to pass. Rest on his promises, he is a faithful God, his word does not return unto him void; but it shall accomplish that which he pleases and it shall prosper in the thing whereto he sends it(Isaiah 55:11)
Psst!!Don't limit yourself from going out on dates, don't just sit at home.You increase your chance of being asked out simply by being out there.Good men exist but they are not going to come to you like manna from heavenðŸ¤ðŸ˜„ you have to put in the effort combined with faith as you incorporate God in all that you do. Even as you go on those dates don't forget to ask God to reveal to you if their intentions align with what God has for you. If not let go and let God, do not oppose God he knows better! Do not settle until God directs you to the man he has in store for you, be obedient and hearken to his voice, seek wise counsel from God and from people who have been there before and also allow God's will to be done.
Even in your waiting remember those who wait upon the Lord will not be put to shame(Romans 10:11) and always remember kindness goes a long way💛
With love,
