How To Embrace Singleness As You Wait On God

Looking to embrace singleness as you wait on God’s perfect timing? Or perhaps you’re struggling to see the blessings in this phase of your life?

Trust me, I’ve been there too. As I write this, I can relate to the challenges and frustrations that come with being single, especially when it doesn’t align with our previous expectations. It can feel like an eternity, and it’s easy to grow discouraged or tired of waiting.

In today’s blog post, I’ll share powerful insights that remind us singleness is a divine season of preparation, not torture. This is my advice to all Christian women- embrace the journey and discover its abundant blessings.

 

 

A Journey of Divine Purpose

“Why does God keep me single?”

This question has echoed within my heart countless times, yet I have come to realize that I was asking the wrong question all along. 

Asking why God keeps us single may lead us to the wrong question. Instead, we should understand that God’s plan for our singleness is not meant to discourage us but to shape us into the women of God we are destined to be.

We often envision a different path filled with education, career success, and a loving partnership, but sometimes life takes unexpected turns. 

Embracing singleness is my advice for Christian singles because it opens doors to Godly opportunities for personal growth. In this season, we have the chance to grow, be refined, and become the best Christian women that God intended us to be.

It’s a time for personal growth, where we can discover our true selves and develop into the individuals God has destined us to become.

 

Your Identity in God: Seeking Him First

In the pursuit of relationships, for Christian single ladies, it’s crucial for a Godly single woman to prioritize her devotion to God above all else. Unfortunately, it’s common to see well-intentioned church women investing all their time and energy into serving their partners. This inadvertently leads to them neglecting their relationship with God in the process.

When I entered marriage, I held the belief that my husband should be the primary focus of my life.

However, I learned a valuable lesson. The Bible teaches us to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness as our foremost priority. This fundamental truth reminds us that our relationship with God should always take precedence.

By nurturing our connection with God, we lay a solid foundation for all other relationships in our lives. It is through this lens that we can approach singleness with a renewed understanding—seeking God first and trusting that He will provide everything we need.

 

Unveiling the Strength of Single Godly Women

Being a single Christian woman is not without its challenges, particularly when it comes to self-awareness and understanding one’s true worth. I, too, have faced struggles with self-esteem, shaped by painful experiences that clouded my perception of value and purpose.

But as I deepened my faith, I discovered the transformative power of embracing my identity in Christ. Through this, I gained a profound understanding of my inherent worth and the unique gifts God has bestowed upon me.

By acknowledging and utilizing these gifts, a single Christian woman fulfills her true role. This gives her  confidence and purpose while she learns how to live as a godly woman.

 

 

How To Embrace Singleness:

Discovering God’s purpose takes center stage in the journey of embracing singleness. As you navigate this season, one powerful way to find fulfillment and embrace the unique opportunities it presents is by pursuing your passions.

Engaging in activities that ignite your heart unlocks a world of personal growth. It enables you to make a difference in your own life and the lives of others while aligning you with God’s purpose for your solo journey.

So how can you live a happy single Christian life? Here is how to live a Christian life as a single woman:

 

Ignite The Fire Within

At the age of 23, I stumbled upon my knack for DIY and sewing, and it ignited a passion within me that propelled me forward. I dove headfirst into exploring and developing this newfound talent, not only pursuing sewing projects on my own but also taking on tasks for fellow church members and colleagues.

It was a game-changer.

What about you? What interests and passions lie dormant within your heart, waiting to be awakened? Being a happy single Christian woman is an opportune time to embark on a journey of self-discovery and pursuit of your deepest desires.

Instead of solely longing for a future partner, step out boldly and engage in activities that make your heart blaze.

 

Unleash Your Unique Talents

Amidst the process of healing and self-discovery after my separation, I unearthed a multitude of talents and interests that had remained dormant within me. While I had always possessed an artistic inclination, I hadn’t explored these passions beyond high school art class.

However, post-divorce, I embarked on a remarkable journey of embracing my singleness by taking up sewing, baking, photography, blogging, podcasting, speaking, and art illustration.

These ventures, which once seemed out of reach, became outlets for personal growth and fulfillment. I’ve had the privilege of writing for esteemed blogs, delivering powerful speeches, earning recognition as a top speaker in Toastmasters, and being featured in multiple podcast interviews.

It is within your power to uncover your unique talents and invest time in honing them to new heights.

 

Embrace the Journey of Self-Discovery

When I was twenty-one, I held a singular image of what my life should look like. However, as time passed, that idealized vision didn’t materialize, leaving me disappointed and adrift.

Recently, as I turned thirty-one, I took a moment to reflect on my twenties. It became clear that I hadn’t truly lived during my younger years.

Now, having lived in and traveled to over ten different countries, I wish I had started exploring the world earlier. I yearn for the growth and learning experiences I could have had.

While I engaged in church and volunteer work, I wish I had dedicated more time to personal development instead of longing for an idealized version of my life.

People often marvel at my past achievements and experiences, and yet, at times, I still wish I had accomplished more.

So how can a single Christian woman live a full life?

As a single girl, seize the opportunity to explore the world, visit uncharted places, and lend a helping hand where it’s needed. If starting a YouTube channel, blog, or pursuing your dream of photography or teaching abroad is your passion, don’t hesitate.

Take action and embrace the fullness of your solo Christian life.

 

 

Be of Service to Others

Each day presents us with an incredible opportunity—to be a person of service, radiating kindness and grace to those around us. As followers of Christ, we are called to serve God as a single person, to share the gospel and demonstrate His love to others. 

This invites others to get to know more about God through us.

For single Christian ladies looking for marriage, this season offers an ideal time to serve others. There are many ways that you can show kindness and support:

• Donating money to charities and those in need
• Volunteering at homeless shelters or after-school programs
• Sharing our used clothing with those who lack resources
• Spending time reading to the elderly or those without families
• Mentoring a “little brother” or “little sister,” nurturing their growth in Christ
• Serving in the youth department of our church and engaging with the community

By investing our time in selfless acts of service, we cultivate humility and kindness. These acts help single women of God understand the fulfillment of being a servant.

Let us embrace this season of singleness to learn the joys of selflessness and make a positive impact on the world.

 

Nurture Your Living Spaces

Living independently as single women brings both excitement and responsibilities. Throughout the years, I’ve gained valuable lessons in budgeting, efficient laundry practices, and maintaining a peaceful living space.

Taking care of our own homes and shared spaces are important things to do as a single christian woman. This allows us to learn about ourselves and become responsible stewards.

By embracing this role, we express gratitude to God and find fulfillment in caring for our living environments.

 

Get Comfortable with Being Alone

Embracing solitude, even in public, requires self-reflection and effort. As single women, we naturally desire companionship and social interaction, but it can be challenging when those around us are in relationships.

Initially, I struggled with doing activities alone, longing for someone to share experiences with. However, over time, I’ve learned to appreciate the joy of solo walks and indulging in personal pleasures. 

Becoming comfortable with solitude is essential for embracing singleness as a Christian woman. We’re able to enjoy outings and vacations alone without hesitation, fostering self-assurance and freedom. It’s also an amazing benefit of being a single Christian.

Embrace solo journeys and find contentment in your own presence. Think of this as a single Christian woman’s guide to enjoying life in this season.

 

A Journey of Self-Discovery

In this season of singleness, I’ve embarked on an amazing journey of self-discovery. I’ve experienced the pain of being a single Christian and how to live while single.

Through writing and sharing my experiences, I’ve uncovered hidden talents and found joy in personal growth. Triumphs, trials, and lessons learned have shaped me into the woman God intended me to be.

From fasting and prayer to realizing the impact of my choices, each experience has contributed to my strength and wisdom.

Though unexpected and prolonged, I wholeheartedly embrace the gift of singleness. It allows me to explore, learn, and align with God’s purpose.

I hope this served as a bit of encouragement for you single Christian ladies. Join me in embracing this beautiful and unique season. Singleness is a God-given opportunity to serve and wait as He leads.

All my love,
