30 Something & Single

Watching movies like "Just Wright", "Jumpin' The Broom" or even "Love Jones" shows love at its best especially "black love". Love is so beautiful it is like a sweet soliloquy serenading nature. But have you ever stop and said to yourself if love is like this,Why am I 30 something and single? I can relate to this question and many other questions that run through your head. Every little girl has a fantasy of meeting Prince Charming and being swept off her feet. But what if Prince Charming never comes and in the end you wonder has your clock ran out. Was your glass slipper misplaced in the lost and found? And was Prince Charming searching for the slipper. Maybe or Maybe not but being 30 something and single is not the end of the world. In my own personal life I had to come to grips that I was looking for love in all the wrong faces and places. I was hoping the guys I selected were Prince Charming. I was hoping they would see my value and love me for me. However, every Prince was more like a diversion of the real King God has for me. My version of Prince Charming was a toad and I end up settling for their half baked love. I was wondering why they could not see my value, in reality I did not value myself so I tolerated (condone, authorize, put up with) things. I began to abuse myself by not seeing my own worth. So my twenties rolled by me and I still found myself still single while my friends had a man or got married. For a minute, I thought something was wrong with me. How can I be 30 something and still single? Well, I started to do a self evaluation in 2010 then God showed me how I was living for everyone else instead of myself. The covers came off in 2011 and God revealed to me I was a pushover, people pleaser and did not see the value in myself. The truth hurt me but it did set me free. So,now just like you I am 30 something and single. Does this make me less of a catch because I am in my 30's and a single mom? Not at all, I have found my worth in God and value myself now. The blindfolds came off in May so now I appreciate the diamond I am and see the shine I have on the inside. My shine got so much swag it sparkles on the outside. Therefore being 30 something and single has so much potential. My goals are clearer and I am more focused. My career path is about to flourish. All I have to do is let God do His thing while I soak up the sun and ride the journey. Now being single has great new possibilities to enjoy life, tour the world and be bigger and greater than I could ever become....Marriage will come I have time and so do you!

Seasons Change But Remain In Your Set Place

Ecclesiastes 3:1, To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Life has many paths that will lead you to different addresses in your life. As you walk down the journey of life you have to understand that each stop is temporal. Life has many curves and not one thing will remain the same because seasons change. However, if you find yourself in a certain season in your life that you dislike do not complain and murmur but embrace the season. Seasons are only for a time and in each season the Lord will use it to help you grow in specific areas in your life. Each season has a purpose and plan for your life. The Lord uses each season to mold us into our set place He has for us at that time. The set place God has ordained for your life is the place you are at now. My pastor has been ministering on the subject of you blessings are in your set place. He has stated your set place is the place where God blesses you. Your set place is where you are fulfilled and your place of obedience to God. But understand your set place is the place the Lord tells you to transcend to not man or your own fleshly desire. When we become the driver of our own path then we will lead ourselves to the wrong place and will not be in the right season. Many Christians miss out on there blessings and the move of God because they are not in the place He told them to go. It is imperative to understand no matter what season you are in at this moment make sure it is the set place God has for you. You may not want to be there but you will reap the acceleration of your fulfillment because that specific season has become your set place.

"Seasons will change, nothing is permanent but with each season embrace it and grow through it. Nothing shall remain the same."
