Tonight after church I headed home and enjoyed a quiet evening alone. A Christmas movie, Christmas tree lights on, and now Christmas music playing in the background...it all adds up to a perfect and peaceful evening.
As I've sat here tonight my thoughts have taken me back to last year at this time. Lets just say that the year hasn't turned out how I expected. My plans aren't God's plans. With the holidays also come parties and dinners. How do you answer?
"Single." "No plus one." "Party of one." 🎶All by myself...🎶
Ok it's not that bad! Haha.
I know in my head that God's plan is best. I know He sees the finished picture. Trust. It's my word for 2014 and it's a tougher one than I realized!
Someday I will share the holidays with that special someone. God has him picked out already. He will be worth the wait, I know.
It's a season where it seems like everyone else is getting engaged or married. It's hard not to be a little jealous, even though I'm happy for them. What's the purpose of this waiting? I have no idea! But God knows and He must have things for me to learn. Probably cooking skills so my husband doesn't go hungry! 😉
Why am I sharing this tonight? Because I know I'm not the only one who feels this way at times. As single ladies the devil wants to discourage us and keep us from being all God wants us to be. We have to encourage one another and pray for one another. So tonight I'm praying for my BFF and her future husband and for my future husband. God's timing is best!

Wait on the Lord,
