It's Valentine's Day... And for the most part it was a good day, a good weekend. Spent Friday night with some friends, enjoying a distillery tour. Saturday, had fun celebrating Galentine's Day with some girlfriends! A day made to just really appreciate the friends that God placed in one's life, that will always be there for you. Today I worked, and it was a good day, not crazy like it's been. So, overall it has been nice, fun. But then I did the one thing I should have not done... I watched a sappy love story movie by myself Saturday night.... Yup... I knew before I even pushed play that I would be crying by the end, but I did it anyway. And to set the scene a little more, the movie I picked was Nicholas Sparks, "The Notebook." Crazy, right?!? What was I thinking?? :) But I watched it anyways, enjoying a glass of wine, fireplace burning; and then the tears appeared, running down my cheeks by the end.... For many reasons, I can count at least a handful right now. But you know what, it was ok. I was ok. Sure, the day when the world tells you that you are
weird if you don't have a significant other. When it's all about romance, about
love ... I wouldn't be human if I didn't think/wish I had someone to share the day with. But then I am reminded in so many ways, that God is taking special care of me, and He has not forsaken me. And that my time/journey of singleness is a beautiful time. This time is helping me grow into the person I am, the person God created me to be. It's taught me so many things, showed me what is really important, given me wisdom in more ways than I ever knew of. And helped me realize that I need to embrace this time, and be grateful for it, and offer it to God to glorify Him in all I do, and in all those I meet. Treasure today, live for today. Live in the present. Enjoy the moment. Share with others the water of grace through my singleness. And thanking God for the love He has for me, for loving me so much, even with all my failures. Jesus's love is the only love that will ever fulfill me completely!
I came across this blog post tonight, and thought it was so beautiful and perfect for all those that are single, and either embracing it, or if you're struggling with it, that's okay too. Don't give up on the deep desires of your heart. I truly believe God placed those deepest desires in my heart, in your heart, and He will answer them in ways we are not able to even dream about. He is a good, good Father. Happy Valentine's Day! xoxoxo
You're the best :o)
