Ladies this post is for you!
Grab a hot tea & get comfy
Let's get started...
“She was far too busy living out a passionate romance
with Jesus Christ to be pining after an earthly prince.” –Leslie Ludy
Everyday of your life you express emotion, whether it be
love, joy,happiness, anger, bitterness, etc. (Hopefully it’s not the last two,
but we all have those days...thank goodness for grace!)
Emotions can be stirred by many different things...
here are a few examples:
People, Magazines, books, music, movies, colors, & as
crazy as it sounds even smells!
One emotion our society is always promoting is “Love”.
How can I get love?
Where can I find love?
Who can I get love from?
Where can I get more love?
Who will ever love me?
What is love?

Ladies! There is a simple answer to all of these
questions & you probably already guessed…it's Jesus!!!
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 says
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does
not boast, it is not proud. It does not
dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no
record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the
truth. It always protects, always
trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
So many times I have been asked
"So Kerrington, do you have a significant other?”
& so many times I have had to sadly answer
..."NO!"
Colossians 4:6
"Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with
salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."
When I answered these people it was always out of anger
& disappointment
(no grace or seasoning salt there...lol)
that I didn't "fit in" with this love-obsessed
generation...
but wait!!
"Why would I want to fit in with that?"
To feel accepted? ...maybe, to not be so foreign in this
generation & a big one for me, to not look so
"Sheltered-Christian-homeschooler"
"Sheltered-Christian-homeschooler"
if you get what I
mean...
Let’s just face it, if we have a Facebook relationship
status that stays "single” for all of our teenage years, then we are bound
to singleness for the rest of our lives right?
LIES!!!
Jesus makes everything perfect in His time!
Just like that verse earlier said
"Love is patient..."
We simply have to just be patient.
The definition of Wait is really neat it means-
To stay in a place of great expectation...
Ladies, don't ever be ashamed of your singleness...
Be bold & confident that you are in a season of waiting & having a more intimate, deeper relationship with Jesus Christ...
Be bold & confident that you are in a season of waiting & having a more intimate, deeper relationship with Jesus Christ...
make Him the centre of your life... before thinking about
that other special someone!
Remember this... just because you are single doesn't mean
you have to be lonely :)
Proverbs 3:5-6 says…
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on
your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will
make your paths straight.”
Don't worry about a thing!
Daddy has got it all under-control...
Our God is so loving & personal that He took the time
to have a Prayer Warrior in my church stop me yesterday
(of all places in the ladies washroom) & gave me this word about a
"Season of waiting."
(of all places in the ladies washroom) & gave me this word about a
"Season of waiting."
Little did she know, it was what I had written for this
post earlier in the week...
What a God confirmation her words were!
"You should not settle for less than what God has
for you, wait for the one He has, don't settle for second, third, fourth,
fifth, but wait for the best He has for you. For the one He has will be very
special and the best is worth waiting for!"
As for God, His
timing is perfect!

(Check out this song...it is simply amazing!)
This was such a good post! Touched my heart when I read the part "Don't worry, Daddy has got it all under-control" My favorite part!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for reading!
Delete& I am absolutely so thrilled that it touched your heart :)
Have a blessed day!!
I'm amazed by your maturity and wisdom Kerrington. There are not many young women who decide to give their heart to the Lord and wait. I know because I was one of those young women like you. I knew at at young age that I needed to wait for a godly man because I had a call on my life and I couldn't just marry anyone. But what happens when your 37 and still waiting. So many days it's unbelievably hard....watching friends get married and have kids and more friends get married and have kids and your still waiting. Did God forget about me?? Is there something wrong with me?
ReplyDeleteGod has brought me on a journey and I know I'm not alone...I say that with conviction because there have been countless nights crying myself to sleep tangibly feeling the Lord's arms and presence around me. In these times the Lord birthed such an intimacy. I know because of my calling to walk in unknown places who I marry is important. I will not settle for anything less then someone who's crazy passionate for God. So like you I wait in expectation knowing the best is yet to come and my dad will give me away to someone after his own heart.
You are a blessing Kerrington! Keep encouraging others to follow hard after Him! You have a gift!
Christina,
DeleteThank you so much for your words of wisdom!
God truly is in control :)
