A Season of Singleness: Finding myself in Service, Growth, and Adventure!
Singlesness is often
looked at as a negative thing, but for the most part I am loving it! Granted: I am ready at any time for
Prince Charming to walking into my life. I’m just not willing to settle for Mr.
Wrong. (No matter how many people tell
me I’m too picky.)
However, looking back
over the last few years I can remember one occasion in particular when I was
hiking, praying, and crying to God: Why didn’t he love me/Why am I single/what’s
wrong with me? (The woods is often where God and I have a lot of good talks J)
Anyway, I remember
leaving feeling at peace, but having no real answer. Later that week, my Grandma fell during the
night. (For those who don’t know most
nights I sleep over at my grandma’s house.)
Anyway, I was there to help her up, and as I went back to bed I realized
this is exactly where God wants me to be right now. If I would have had it my way, I would have
been married, with 2.5 kids etc.
Instead,
*I get to hang out and
serve a very special woman.
* I have had the
opportunity to travel to Uganda, Nicaragua, and Greece with some amazing people.
*I was able to take a
once-in-a-life time road trip across the beautiful USA.
* I went back for my
master’s degree.
*Completed 2
Half-Marathons
*And of course,
Climbing ALOT!
1. Patience: My timing is not God timing…His
plan is so much better than my mine!
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge him and he
will make your path straight.”
2. Don’t settle:
3. Expect the unexpected:
4. Seize the day!

Don’t wait for happiness to happen, make it happen! Embrace Life, Challenge yourself, love others, and LIVE Life to the fullest!
