When My Singleness Held Me Back From Joy

For as long as I can remember, I’ve dreamed of being a wife and mom. I’ve held this desire in my heart with hope for many years, looking forward to the day that I become Mrs. Somebody.

I’ve dreamed of making a home with someone, being a support and encouragement to him, and doing life together for God’s glory.

I’ve waited on God to bring us together. I’ve prayed for a godly man.

But at one month from my 27th birthday, I’m single, never even having had a boyfriend.

Still single. Still waiting. Still praying. Still hoping. Still dreaming.
I trusted in Jesus as my Savior at a young age, and all through my growing up years, I continued to follow Jesus.

But as I entered into my twenties, there were several years when I struggled with a deep discontentment and lack of joy.

I'm sharing about this time when my singleness was holding me back from joy, and how I experienced freedom in Christ, over at heatherlobe.com as part of Freedom Stories.

If you're a single girl, or are struggling with discontentment with the season you're in, I'd love to encourage you: ​

Wow. You’re writing has so much depth. I recently read the Singleness blogpost because I’m also struggling, however, after reading it, I am SO encouraged! I’m 22 years old and I get told I’m young and have so much ahead of me and whatnot, but with my desires of wanting to share and walk with Jesus with my future spouse is such a dream. I’ve been having a hard time trusting his timing, trusting that there is someone better as I’ve been attracted to quite a few godly men, all so different and during different seasons. It’s hard to have good guy friends when your single. It’s hard to break the habit of comparison. Anyways thanks for being vulnerable and sharing.

Rachel, thanks for commenting! I'm so glad this post encouraged you. I can relate to so many of your feelings. Yes, being single can be hard, but it is wonderful that as a young woman you are learning to trust God in this.

DOCTOR MUNA IS ABSOLUTELY THE GENUINE SPIRITUALIST WHO RESTORED MY BROKEN RELATIONSHIP AND I SINCERELY RECOMMENDS DOCTOR MUNA TO ANYONE IN NEED OF HELP! My name is Carrie, My husband left me for another woman a few months ago and ever since then my life has been filled with pain and agony because my husband was my first love whom I have spent my entire life with. A friend and also a colleague from work told me he saw some testimonies of a spiritualist called Doctor Muna, he can bring back lover within some few days, Ridiculously, I laughed it out and said I am not interested but for the sake of friendship, she consulted this God sent man on my behalf and to my greatest surprise after 12 hours my husband called me for the very first time for over 7 months saying "I miss you babe and I'm so sorry for everything I made me went through" I couldn't say a word but cried over the phone and hanged up. We are back together and living Happily together again. To be honest, I still can’t believe it, because it’s highly unbelievable. Thank you DOCTOR MUNA for bringing back my love and also to my SELFLESS FRIEND. Laura, who interceded on my behalf. For anyone who might need help of this wonderful spiritualist here is the email address: [email protected], Also add him on WhatsApp: +2347035449257
