single and waiting

Life in the single lane, is something most people experience at some point in their life. This is just my personal experience, that I thought I'd share with you all. Isaiah 40:31 "Those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weak"

make each piece count!


Hey all!

How is everybody doing? I’d like to welcome my good friend David to blogspot!!! Welcome dude…!!

I am at the end of a great book, and it has taught me a lot. I highly recommend it to anybody who is interested. It’s called “When God writes your love story” by Eric and Leslie Ludy. They describe their own story in a very personal way. each write separate chapters talking about their own struggles with singleness and waiting.

This is what I have learned, each piece of your heart, is so precious and valuable. I have said before, that every time you like someone, and open up to them, become emotional attached to them….you give them a piece of your heart. Do you get that back? Well, that’s up to you. I used to think you couldn’t ever, but my opinion has changed. This week I saw Mr Popular from my high school days, and when I saw the smile on his face as he saw me…I knew then, we are still good friends and the past will not change that. That piece of my heart that I gave to him, I got back when he smiled at me on the train.

You can do that too. Most girls have this fairy tale fantasy of being able to fall in love and give their whole heart to prince charming…and that’s a beautiful dream. Can you do that though, if you keep giving pieces of you heart away to little no-bodies? I don’t think so. It has taken me a good few years to get that part back, and now that I have it back…. I realise it’s true value!

Waiting can be hard, I know, but ask God to help you focus on Him during this lonely time of singleness. And He will, trust me! If you feel that you can, try and give your whole heart to God. That means getting back what you have given out. How do you get it back? It’s all in forgiveness… and it has to be two way, but it can happen, through God’s amazing grace!

peace

    Heya!

    Firstly, thanks for the warm welcome. It's always awesome to be described as a "good friend". It was about time I started blogging too!

    I get what you mean about giving away your heart. I think that while it's important to choose carefully who you give it to, it's also important to take risks and put yourself out there - if you don't then you'll close yourself off from all sorts of possibilities. And as long as you have friends to help you through the hard times then you've got nothing to lose.

    There's nothing wrong with sharing love for friends aswell. Anyone as kind spirited as yourself will undoubtedly have plenty of love left for her soulmate when she finds him.

    Ciao,
    Dave
