In My Singleness

In my singleness there are so many roller coasters of emotions, I sometimes wonder whether I am coming or going.

In my singleness, I can make my own choices and my own mistakes without having someone there to ridicule me. In my singleness I can make my own choices and my own mistakes without having someone there to console me and help me make things right.

In my singleness I can pour all of the good things from my soul into my son without someone there trying to cast down what I am trying to build up.
In my singleness I worry if I am too much or not enough to help make him the man that he is to be in his future.

In my singleness I see so many men and women in relationships, not appreciating the other 1/2 of them that God so lovingly prepared and gift wrapped especially for them.

In my singleness I have learned that true love is not the kind that you desire to receive, but it is the love that you work so hard to give out everyday.

In my singlesness I have had to mourn for hopes, dreams and aspirations that I had long ago, and push them aside in order to survive.

In my singleness I have had to do things alone when I didn't want to, go places alone when I didn't want to and see things alone when I didn't want to.

In my singleness I have learned that I can do almost anything that I set my mind to.

In my singleness I have done and experienced things that I may never have had I not been single.

In my singleness I have been able to show my son what a strong, independent yet loving woman looks like. This way, he will have a better idea what to look for when he gets older.

In my singleness I have overcome some obstacles that even married couples have a hard time getting over.

In my singleness I am able to be used to help others more often since there are less distractions.

In my singleness I am able to identify the needs of those in distress, and give those (who need it), a wisdom that only comes from pain and suffering.

In my singleness I have been given the greatest gift that I may ever receive in my entire life.
The chance to get to know God in a deep way, to lean on Him, to KNOW Him because He has ALWAYS been there for me to go to in my despair and in my triumpth. I have learned that He has all power whether I am single or not. I have learned that singleness is just a state of mind. That my future has and will always be in His hand. That He knows what is best for me, even when I have no clue. And because of this.......

In my singlesness I now have PEACE....
