Thriving in Your Single Seasons: An Introduction

This week, I thought about something and it made me reflect on what it means to be single in a world full of wedding bells, relationship announcements, and social media declarations of love. Honestly, this isn’t an easy season for many of us. You’re constantly reminded of what you don’t have through conversations or casual mentions of weddings. It can be tough. But there’s something I want to remind you of—something you probably already know deep down: times and seasons.


Understanding Times and Seasons

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "For everything, there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven." The latter part of this verse stands out—a time for every activity under heaven. This means there are various activities here on earth. Right now, it’s your time for the activity of singleness—your single season.


The thing about all seasons is that they have their beautiful and challenging moments. Just like any other phase in life, this one comes with its ups and downs. There are days when being single feels empowering—you have the freedom to determine your own schedule, make decisions independently, and spend quality time with yourself and the Holy Spirit. But there are also days when singleness feels like a burden, the loneliest state of being.




Embracing Your Season

But no matter how you feel, the truth is that it’s your season, and you have to embrace it. Remember, even Adam was single at one point before God brought Eve into his life. At one time or another, everyone has experienced a season of singleness. The beautiful marriages catching your attention now? Both individuals went through their single season—it came, and it passed.

What really matters is how you handle this phase. Are you embracing it? Being single is beautiful, and so is being married. But what are you doing with your season?

Psalm 1:3 talks about bearing fruit in its season: "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper" (NKJV). My question to you is: What fruits are you bearing in your single season?


Making the Most of Your Single Season

If you’re wondering how you can embrace this season or what to do with it, I’ll be sharing more insights over the coming weeks as the Holy Spirit leads me. Instead of worrying about when you’ll meet "the one," why not focus on what God wants you to do right now? This is your time to produce fruit, to grow, to learn, and to become the person God created you to be.

Take this opportunity to know yourself better before someone else is added to your life. On the issue of identity—do you know who you are? I’m not talking about your name; I mean your identity in Christ. The Bible says we are created in the image and likeness of God, which means our identity comes from Him. So, the question I pose to both you and myself is: Do you truly know who you are in Christ?


Ponder on this as we go through this series of blog posts together. Until next week, take this time to reflect, grow, and embrace your season of singleness.

New month! Better obedience!

Helloooo! I hope it's not too late to wish you a happy new month. I welcome you into the sixth month of 2024. Trust me, it is going to be a beautiful month for you! I have been wanting to write to you since 2020, but sadly, it never happened. If you are asking why, I don't think I have an answer to your question. Or would I say I was afraid?  What if I write, and I don't write well? What if I write, and nobody reads it? Many what ifs... But finally, I am doing this. I am writing to you! Please pat me on my back. The Lord has many beautiful things in store and I cannot wait to share them with you. As He lays it upon my heart, I will share my learnings from the scriptures with you. I will also write to singles like me, as the Lord will grant me grace. I know you have questions like: How soon will you be getting updates on my blog post? What time and what day will I be publishing? Once I figure it all out, I will get back to you. Till then, I remain the Lord's writer.  Let...

Finding Contentment and Joy in Singleness

Introduction: A Personal Reflection Hello, it's been a while since I last wrote to you. I didn’t reach out last week because I wasn’t in the space to pour out; I needed to be poured into. I felt bad because I promised consistency—not to miss a week. But I also committed to writing as the Holy Spirit leads, and last week, I needed His help. I thank God for restoration, and this experience reminded me why we need God’s continuous help. Finding Contentment in Singleness This week, we’ll focus on finding contentment and joy in singleness. Over the past week, we’ve talked about our identity as children of God. By now, if you've been following along, your confidence should be boosted by knowing who you are and who your Father is. From understanding your identity in God, I believe you've experienced a joy from this knowledge—a joy that’s hard to define. The Bible says,  “Those who know their God shall do great exploits.” Many people rush out of the singlehood phase, forgetting tha...

Coming to the Lord as You Are: Embracing Vulnerability in His Presence

Image
In a world where appearances often matter more than authenticity, many of us are tempted to wear masks—masks of strength, confidence, and perfection. Society encourages us to hide our weaknesses, to "fake it till we make it," and to present an image that is often far from reality. We play along, pretending to have it all together, even when we feel like we’re falling apart inside. But what if there was a place where you didn’t have to pretend? What if you could come as you are, with all your imperfections, doubts, and fears?  That place exists, and it’s in the presence of God. God invites us to come to Him in our most vulnerable state—without pretense, without shame. He doesn't ask us to hide our weaknesses or to present a facade. Instead, He welcomes us just as we are, in our raw, unfiltered humanity. Consider the story of Hannah from the Bible. In her most desperate and broken state, she turned to the Lord with all her heartaches and sorrows. Hannah was barren and deepl...
