Home and "Single" for the Holidays

I want to take a moment to invite all of my single ladies to repeat this (with me):

Yes it is Christmas
Yes I am single
Because I am saved, have a real friend to spend Christmas with

Therefore:

I won’t spend one more minute awaiting the phone call for a Christmas Eve date
I won’t spend one more minute awaiting the phone call for dinner with his family
I am not a last minute option, I am a priority

I won’t charge my credit card on an expensive gift for one more chance to impress him

He is not impressed with my fancy gifts

He either likes me or he doesn’t

This year, I promise to focus not on a man, but to focus on THE MAN
In fact on Christmas, he was just a baby born in a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes

In His presence there is fullness of joy
In His presence there is healing, honest conversation, comfort, safety, power, compassion, unconditional love, patience… the list goes on
How can I compare me waiting by the phone to that

There is no comparison

I know my value and I am priceless

Through the school of hard-knocks, I finally am ready to pass my test

This time I choose ME

So I will wait in His presence for the one who can’t wait to be with me

It may be Jesus for now, and He is enough

Have a good week my friends, and enjoy the days leading up to Christmas! Don’t worry about that man’s plans. God has great plans for you (Jer 29:11)
