It's been a minute since I posted on this thing. I have not forgotten, I promise. I did come across an article that cut me up and got my mind on the right thing. I am now 24! I just celebrated a birthday on November 5!! It was a great birthday I am so grateful for the beautiful friends I have that made my day SO SPECIAL. but next year I AM NOT WORKING ON MY BIRTHDAY!! lol. I was miserable. anyways…
I'm 24. The pressure from society, family, and whomever else to get married is real! The fact that I am not even dating someone is scary for people which is funny and odd at the same time. I am in no rush to get into a relationship, relationships are tough! They are not easy I can't even handle church, school, my relationship with Jesus, ministry, and work! What I look like trying to add a relationship to the mix? CRAZY. This article really helped me to realize what's really important and that truly my single seasons are a gift. I love my sister so much but I remember she told me " I can't wait until you start living life." Oh did that bother me so much! so because I am not dating I am not living? My sister meant no harm with her comment it just showed me how society thinks and how most guys and girls think. My life started when I got baptized in Jesus name and FILLED with his Holy Ghost. I got abundant life in Jesus Christ!
This article really puts into perspective how we as women sometimes think. I loved her perspective and I agree with her 100%!! I am going to start to truly appreciate every season every trial because that's where I get to know my God the best. I don't go around saying Jesus is my BOO! nah man. He's my God and Father. but I will say that He alone sustains me, he alone satisfies my soul, he alone is my love. I do want to be married and have kids one day, that has been my desire for so long but I shouldn't be so focused on that desire where I lose focus on Christ.
Check out the article!!! Link below.
