Here are just a few snippets of advice that helped me develop a peace that I did not have before regarding living life as a single.
1. Understand and KNOW that God is doing what is best for you right now. (maybe it is not the right time for you to be in a romantic relationship) Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:" 2. God does not need your help with initiating your love story. (WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT (point #1) He will have no trouble at all bringing your husband to you) 2 Timothy 2:13 (NKJV) "If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself." 3. Trust God with the plans for this area of your life. Share the hard things, the secret hopes and longing desires of your heart with God while you wait. Those things will not fall on deaf ears. Isaiah 59:1 (NKJV) "Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear." 4. Before you start searching for a husband you should honestly be wholly devoted to knowing and growing with the Ultimate Lover of your soul, God. Proverbs 31:30 (NKJV) "Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." Thanks for reading lovelies! Peace & Blessings, <3 Nándi

Can I be candid?
Even after I had said that I would wait on God to bring me my future husband, I had a backup plan just in case things "fell through." I did not realize that the less I trusted the God the more susceptible I was to the traps of the enemy until I started reading scripture. In Psalm 18:30 (NKJV) it says "As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him." After that reality check via that scripture in the book of Psalm God began to assure me that His way would always be best. I could trust in His faithfulness to bring a beautiful love story to pass in my life but ONLY when the time is absolutely right. So I encourage you lovelies to trust God even when you cannot trace Him. Embrace His plan and don't overthink it. 1st Corinthians 2:9 (NKJV) But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

I did not know know how to wait on the Lord in this area of my life. I heard everyone in church tell single women to wait for their husbands to find them, but very few people gave these women, women like me, PRACTICAL tools needed on how to wait. A lot of what I have learned in waiting for God to reveal His will for this area in my life came through trial and error. So in hopes of sparing another girls time and emotions, I am going to list the top three things a woman should be doing while she is waiting on God to write her love story, send her husband her way etc. 1. Stop trying to manipulate God's timing and accept it. If you are in a season of singleness DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT allow men into your life because you just want some "company" 1st Corinthians 15:33 (NKJV) "Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”" 2. YES God's will is always better than your own plan for your life so trust Him despite your ability to trace Him working in your life. Proverbs 3:5 (NKJV) "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;" 3. Remain focused on the consistency of God's character and not the clock you have set via your own hopes and expectations as to when God will bring your significant other into your life. Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:" I hope I have helped you lovelies! Continue to pursue God's will despite how you may feel or what it going on around you. God's got this area of your life under control! God has got you! Thanks for reading lovelies!
