To My Single Ladies, Hang In There, God Has Someone Special For You

I sometimes find myself daydreaming about meeting the one.

I usually picture him falling head over heels the moment he sees me. We'd talk for a short moment, and from there, I get my happy ending. It's a sweet picture, but most likely unrealistic.

As someone who's been single their entire life, it's difficult to avert my focus on wanting to be in a relationship. And as someone who is in their early twenties, it's even harder to ignore this desire when I start seeing more and more of my friends' engagement photos on social media.

I often receive the question, "Do you have a boyfriend yet?" from family members and friends. Jokingly, I always answer with, "I have multiple." I'm not sure if this answer has become one of my defense mechanisms, but it does help me avoid further questions such as "Why not?"

I know I'm not the only one who's been asked this question many times before and having to say, "No, not yet." I also know I'm not the only one who feels slightly sad seeing everyone around you getting into a relationship while you remain single. So, if you're someone who is struggling with their singleness, here are some things I want to tell you.

Hang in there because God has someone special stored for you.

If you have been waiting for a godly man for weeks, months, or even years, I urge you to keep waiting. It's easy to let our desires take over, but it's better to wait than to be with a guy who barely meets your standards.

Remember you are a daughter of God, so you should be with someone who will treat you as such. Trust me, there will be fewer heartbreaks when we choose to wait for the man who Christ has planned to bless us with.

Yes, you will have moments where you will hate this season of your life, but this is a time to fall deeper in love with Christ.

It's not easy being content with your singleness all the time and I understand that, but this season of your life is not an unimportant one. This is a time when you can fully focus on strengthening your relationship with Jesus.

We can use this time to get to know more about Jesus and His Word, while also working diligently to bring the knowledge of Him to others. When we use our season of singleness for the glory of God, waiting for a significant other becomes easier.

Work on yourself, so when the right time comes, you are the best person for your partner.

I'm not saying you should be perfect since none of us can be perfect. Still, we should strive to be better people. We should allow ourselves to work on any struggles or issues that we may be facing before focusing on being in a relationship. I mean, if we want our future husband to be the best version of themselves, shouldn't we also want to be the very best for them?

So, to my single ladies, hang in there. The wait is not easy, but it's not insignificant. Use this time to get to know your Creator and His great love for you, while continuing to serve Him and others. And when you least expect it, he will come.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
