Right Where I Need To Be!!

Just recently (let's say the past two months) God has made me so comfortable right where I am in life. More specifically, where He has me in life. If you have been reading my past blogs you know my heart. Let's just get this part out there...yes...I'm single (still), coming off of a really badly ended relationship, all (let me repeat that) ALL of my close college friends are married and have started on there careers and the world would say "started there life". Here I am, still in school, not even dating. Well, that's perfect! (no sarcasm intended!!) God has helped me realize that this is perfect for me right now!! And those who know me know how much I desire to be in love and to have the company of the one the Lord has made to compliment me!!! But what they don't know (and I haven't understood) and God does, it that He has so much for me to learn about Him and myself before then. We always try to jump ahead in our lives just because everyone else is at a certain point. We try to rush through school, singleness, and whatever else! I think we need to remind ourselves how different God made each of us and how God can reveal so much to us when we don't have responsibilities of a family or career. I never understood the joy of being single (and in my case still in school) until now. I've been able to to listen and learn from myself and who God wants me to be. What are my desires? What do I want out of life? What are my passions? God may have been revealing these things to me since I was born, but just now I have been able to let go and see. I have realized that I have to understand myself and my life first. I need to be a strong person on my own, with my own desires and passions, and know who God is for me and what He is in my life!! That way when God does bring that someone into my life.....I don't disappear!! I'm still who God has molded me to be and the man God has for me will compliment that and our relationship can glorify God that much more!!

I look back over the past year and I see how much God has done in my life! How much I have grown into the women God wanted me to be. I've had no relationship responsibilities, only me to focus on and learn about and see what God desires for me to be. It's really amazing and adventurous and mysterious!!!

I can never thank God enough for loving me enough to lead me right where I need to be!! I know God will reveal the next step in my life right when I need it! Right now I'm just enjoying each moment and getting to know God more intimately for myself!

Wedding Bliss

One down and three to go.....

One of my best friends got married this past weekend!! I spent most of the week before her wedding with her getting last minute things done. Everything was amazing and God could not have given us a more beautiful day to celebrate this occasion!! Weddings are such an amazing reminder of how God is love and how he uses us and marriage as a picture of that! Especially when couples so openly praise God for all He does! It is such a witness and encouragement and I thank God for giving me so many friends and family who's marriages are a living testament to the love of God and what He desire for that bond to look like:)
