Obviously yesterday was Valentines day and I actually just saw it as any other day. Our love for someone shouldn't be heightened on only one day of the year or around the holidays. We should do the little things that people do on valentines more then just once a year.
I was so encouraged just to sit and listen to a friend share their heart. They are on fire for the Lord. My friend shared about how at work she got to share the gospel and how she would always pray for her non Christian friends in Highschool so that they will become saved. To God's glory a lot of her friends have. It is so amazing to see God answer our prayers.
I shared how at times I don't feel satisfied in God, that I feel like I have a hard time letting Him be enough. We both agreed that sometimes we fear getting in a relationship and putting the man before the Lord. Even now He fights for my affections and I'm single. I reassured my friend and let them know that it will not be out of the norm if we catch ourselves putting the man before God. My mom told me she struggles with it and she's been married for 29 years. No woman or man is perfect we naturally lean toward the flesh and thats where discipline comes in. So i believe it'll be a battle for life. By no means is it ok to put the man first, but when we catch ourselves doing that we need to surrender it to God, repent, and get back on track. At times I feel ready for a relationship, and at times I don't. Sometimes I just feel like a little girl when all I really want to be is a grown woman. My friend shared with me that there is no loneliness or something missing in life. This encouraged me and I agreed.
Overall, the night was beautiful and I was blessed to have true fellowship with my friend. On "single awareness day" I didn't feel aware of my singleness. I felt so in love with God that nothing else could've made me so aware of my relationship status. He is good!
