The Temporary Single Life

Well, that was a great week as far as staying on top of this blog. *note the sarcasm.

Last week was just crazy busy, but I have decided I need to schedule time to blog/journal/recoup - thats my new goal. Lets see how well this works, haha. As for what I want to share, I have been thinking and praying a lot about relationships lately. There are a lot of pieces to it, but I have definitely been praying for the man that God has planned for me. I have never dated anyone, and I'm ok with that, but I know that God has not called me to a life of single-ness. I am in that season of my life right now, and I love and treasure it, but I know that before long I will be transitioned into a new season. This is a scary, exhilarating, and emotional experience, but one that God has been preparing me for for the last almost 21 years. That said, I heard this song by Natasha Bedingfield last night and I loved it. Its perfect for the place I am at in my life right now, and with that I encourage you to read these lyrics and listen to the song.

Single. Natasha Bedingfield.

Ah yeah that's right
All you single people out there
This is for you

I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me
(Cos I'm happy where I am)
Don't depend on a guy to validate me
(No no)
I don't need to be anyone's baby
(Is that so hard to understand?)
No I don't need another half to make me whole

Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't

This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

I'm single
(Right now)
That's how I wanna be
I'm single
(Right now)
That's how I wanna be

Ah yeah Uh Huh that's right

Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good
(I like who I am)
I'm not saying I don't wanna fall in love 'cos I would
I'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cos you say I should
(Can't romance on demand)
I'm gonna wait so I'm sorry if you misunderstood

This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

Everything in it's right time everything in it's right place
I know I'll settle down one day
But 'til then I like it this way it's my way
Eh I like it this way

Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't
'Til then I'm single

This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

Ecclesiastes 3:11-12

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live."
