Embracing My Season of Singleness: Learning to Thrive Alone.

Hello beautiful souls! Today, I want to share my personal story of how I came to find peace and contentment in my season of singleness. Trust me, I know how challenging it can be to navigate this season, especially when everyone around you seems to be pairing off. But I want to encourage you, if you're in that place right now, that there's a deeper sense of peace that comes when you surrender your desires and fully trust God in this season. Here's how I got there.

It all started last year, around the end of February, beginning of March, when I realized that my approach to relationships was... well, a little off. I had been dating just to date—no real commitment, just seeking attention. I wasn’t looking for anything serious, and I didn’t really understand why I was even doing it. It felt pointless, like I was just going through the motions without purpose. At the time, I wasn’t prioritizing my relationship with God; I was more focused on finding the next "fun" thing to do.

But then, something shifted in my heart. Around the same time that I moved into my own place, I started asking myself, "What am I doing?" I had no idea where my life was going, but I knew I needed to make a change. That was when I realized I had been placing too much value on male attention. So, I made a conscious decision to stop. No more dating just for the sake of it, no more entertaining relationships that didn’t align with God’s plan for me. I wanted to be in a relationship where both of us were fully committed to each other and to God.

That’s when I started to fully embrace my journey as a Christian. I wasn’t just a Christian who attended church; I was beginning to have a personal relationship with God. I began spending more time in His Word and seeking clarity on what He wanted for my life. It was in this quiet time with God that I realized I needed to shift my focus. Instead of searching for a boyfriend, I needed to focus on becoming the woman God created me to be. And, in the process, I had to learn to let go of my desire for male attention and approval.

As I leaned more into my relationship with God, He started to reveal to me the kind of man I was meant to marry—and more importantly, the kind of woman I needed to become in order to be that perfect partner. It wasn’t about figuring out who my future husband would be—it was about understanding who I needed to be first. I couldn’t expect a man of God if I wasn’t a woman of God.

I also realized that as I became more aligned with God’s will for my life, He started to show me glimpses of my future husband. It sounds a little crazy, but God began revealing things to me about this person I had never met. It felt like God was preparing both of us for one another. And even though I haven’t met him yet, I trust that when the time comes, it will all make sense.

But the most freeing thing for me has been this: contentment in the waiting. I learned to embrace my singleness instead of rushing to find someone. I realized that this is the only time in my life when I can be completely focused on myself—on my growth, my relationship with God, and my future. I can live without anyone else to think about, and I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. And that, my friends, is such a beautiful freedom!

It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that being single means something is wrong with you, but let me tell you—there is nothing wrong with you. You are not incomplete. You are whole in Christ. Once I embraced that truth, I stopped feeling the pressure of "needing" a boyfriend or husband. God was everything I needed, and when He was ready for me to meet my future husband, it would happen in His timing.

As I reflect on this season of singleness, I’m content. I’m not in a rush anymore. And if you’re in that place of longing for a relationship, I encourage you to focus on growing closer to God. Draw near to Him, and let Him show you who you are in Him. He has an incredible plan for you, and in His perfect timing, everything will fall into place.

Thank you for hanging out with me and listening to my heart. I hope this story encourages you to embrace your current season with joy and peace. If you're struggling, know that you're not alone, and that God is always with you. I’m rooting for you!
