A while ago, God gave me a vision to write a book for single Christian women by a single Christian woman. So often the "single" books are written by married women we feel just can't relate to us anymore. This is my attempt to begin writing this book, a chance to put my thoughts down and hear feedback. To all of us girls waiting for our princes and to the already married queens ruling their kingdoms, I humbly dedicate this "book."

A Precious Season

This is such a precious season for me. Singleness. Sigh...it's so precious. And as much as I am ready to begin a life with someone else, I am so thankful for the graciousness of God to give me the gift of living on my own for now. It truly is a gift.

These moments alone with Jesus, I savor. His presence is so exquisitely delightful and fulfilling. As I press deeper into who He is, He meets me and takes my hand and we journey TOGETHER. There is no sweeter moment than when He quiets my heart and breathes precious whispers of love into my spirit. At the risk of gushing, I'm a woman hopefully, desperately in love. I treasure His every word, His every movement, His every heartbeat. I watch with breathless anticipation to see what He'll do next and jump on the opportunity to serve Him.

How I cherish this love! His guidance is inexplicable. I am tangibly loved and romanced and satisfied. He knows my deepest heart's desire - and it happens to be Him. Oh, how He smiles as I dance and sing before Him. He's not concerned with how I do my hair or if my outfit is cute, but He does enjoy the pleasure it gives me to dress up for Him. In His eyes, I am perfectly lovely - even when my mirror doesn't reflect that. And yet He has been giving me eyes to see myself as He sees me. How sweet.

May I always quiet my heart before Him and allow Him to sing and rejoice over me. Thank you, Lord, for your precious presence in this season of singleness.
