A single life you actually enjoy... Is that even possible? Yes! It really, really is and I know it is, because I experienced it!Nearing 30, I was so over being single. I was over the lonely nights, the awkward social situations, the insensitive questions, the wondering if it would ever be my time, the questioning what I was doing wrong, the trying to be positive and keep the faith. I was just tired of it all.But something beautiful came from being at the end of my rope. I, for the first time, began to live with my heart utterly and entirely devoted to the Lord. I dove headfirst into Scripture and spending lots of time in His presence and as His words saturated my heart and mind, I began to feel differently about my singleness. This change didn’t happen because I was TRYING with all my might to enjoy this season like I had tried before. This was my natural response to God’s Word as it transformed my mind and, as it happened, my life. Singleness was no longer a punishment, but a special gift. It was no longer a season of waiting, but a season of growing, thriving and living. It was no longer lonely, but the sweetest intimacy with the Lord I’ve ever known. It was no longer a season marked by shame or embarrassment, but a season of great confidence and independence. This same reality is available to you. <3- 21 DevotionsEach section has a short reading, scripture, questions to answer along with several lined pages!
I journaled my way through this WholeHeartedly Devoted book a few years ago when it was originally released. It was one of the first books I read on singleness, and it helped completely reshape my mentality about my marital status (ahem, or lack thereof). It wasn't until I reread the book recently that I realized how many of my concepts of singleness stemmed from the thoughts here. Single girls bucket list? Yup, I started one because I read this book!
