A Lesson For The Singles: #1

Okay, so if it isn't obvious at this point, I am a single woman living life to the fullest! At first, it was super frustrating, and even now I catch myself wanting to be frustrated. I would ask 'what's wrong with me', 'am I broken', 'did God forget about me when picking spouses for people' and so on and so on. Even now I'll have moments when I'm like, 'okay God it's been 10 years now technically when is it my turn?'. Yet, I've realized that's the wrong attitude to have for the season. I've had to switch my attitude and instead ask, 'God, what things do I get to learn in this season? What is something I am to gain in this season? What is it in this season that You have for me?'. One of my goals with my blogs is to have different sections with specific blogs; one of them being "Lessons for the Singles"! So, God gave me a revelation (one of the many, many, many of them) about one thing in this season. This one goes out to my girl Esty, since it was taking care of her fur babies that the revelation hit me! On Black Friday, I go out to Esty's house to feed the cat babies and take care of them while she's out of town visiting her family. After I had fed and loved on the babies, I noticed a couple things in her kitchen and whatnot. Now, her place was NOT filthy AT ALL! However, I just saw an opportunity where I could tidy up some things for her so that way when she got home, she wouldn't have to worry about it and relax! It was an opportunity for me to serve someone I wholeheartedly love and make her day! It was as I was washing dishes and wiping her counters that I realized this: one of the desires in my heart is to find my future husband and to love and to serve him, HOWEVER, I get to do that now as a single! I'm sure some of you are like 'yeah Nathalie how did you not know that'? It's not that I didn't know that, it's just that I understood more about loving people and serving people on a deeper level. This was a beautiful opportunity to do something when they didn't ask, it was an opportunity to let someone who works hard that hey, I got you! It was an opportunity to selflessly give myself away and love someone and give them something without expecting absolutely nothing in return! Just like God does on a daily basis, just like Jesus did when He was here. It made me thankful in that moment that God has me in the single season to learn these little things to have it make me not only be a better woman, but to continue to prepare me even more into the future Proverbs 31 wife I'll be for someone! Esty girl, I love you girl! Thank you for letting me love and serve you!
