I am giving up dating for the next 6 months.
“Wait, YOU?”
“The one who’s constantly with someone?”
“The girl who’s jumped from guy-to-guy for the past 3 years?”
Yeah, I’m that girl. And you heard me right..
I’m going to spend time growing in my relationship with my main man… yes, that’s God.
It’s time to be broken down, built up, restored and renewed.
I know being single won’t be easy.
I’m constantly surrounded by women who are either engaged, married, or soon-to-be engaged.
And I’m definitely a shameless romantic at heart.
Yikes!
But lately, I’ve been shown how weak I am and how I am settling for all the wrong things in life. How I’ve searched for joy in romantic relationships and came out a little more jaded every time. It pains me to admit it but my bitterness is another thing I need to let go of in this process.
I need time to heal from my past brokenness and mature in my faith. I need this time to build up a relationship with my Heavenly Father before settling down with a man. For the next 6 months, I am in a relationship but not one that the world can understand.
I’m scared to death but hopeful. I’m so far from perfect but God has saved me time and time again. If all else, putting my complete trust, hope and love in Him will never leave me empty-handed.
So here I go! Wish me well on this new phase of my life.
It’s just you and me, God.
