All tagged Significance of Singleness
My boys: Do you know how we know you are back in Mom mode when we get home from somewhere?
Me: How?
The boys: Coz your tooth comes out and your pajama pants go on
I was thinking about that as I was getting ready in the morning and someone messaged me about the significance of singleness post I shared on Facebook and in my head I said, “Lord, please send me a man that will love me toothless and all.”
And as I brushed my teeth I heard His still small voice whisper, “I love you like that.” And here come the waterworks (gosh darn! I keep telling God I’m a thug, why He gotta make me a cry baby? )
Singleness is more than just limbo or lingering listlessly in the waiting room before marriage. Singleness has far more significance than that. Singleness, like marriage, is also a beautiful picture of God and his plan. Does returning to my first love mean it is always easy and that I never have difficult days? Most certainly not! But it does mean that just as I would turn to my spouse in those moments, I am learning to turn to God. He is the One after all that can work ALL things out and that has solutions for everything!
The added bonus is that I don’t have to pick up after him, hear him chew, listen to him snore or smell his morning breath. Lol
