Single again series

Eve was created for Adam. The other creatures who roamed the garden were not suitable to be his life mate. Now the Lord God said, “It is not good (beneficial) for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper [one who balances him—a counterpart who is] suitable and complementary for him.” The Bible does not read that God performs a marriage ceremony; they never chose each other. Well, I didn’t wake up a full-grown woman perfectly created for the man who stood before me the day I got married. Our love was of the forbidden tree and now we are both out of the garden carrying about our lives on separate journeys.

I’m divorced three years now, still reeling and healing from the trauma of unhappily ever after. Dating has been a disaster and I found myself being pulled back underneath the tide of familiar waters, panicked, and almost drowned. I cried out to God in my distress and Jesus was the life jacket that kept my head above water and my heart beating. So yes! Being single again has been scary yet profoundly liberating; there is something empowering about taking care of yourself, satisfying yourself, and entertaining yourself. I am complete in CHRIST, the biggest part of Christy is he. I have grown and learned to focus more on healing than forcing relationships and people into my life that no longer fit or could never be more than temporary placeholders for what God has shown me. He gave me a vision of the provision and plans for my life, just like he had shown Joseph. Holding tightly to the dream has prevented me from settling. There is so much more to life than living for romantic relationships and casual sex. While I wait to get to the glory part of my story, God is taking me on the scenic route, empowering me, teaching me, and preparing me for my place in the ministry and the kingdom. This mate will bring balance and help. He will reveal himself eventually, probably somewhere out there in a deep sleep while God is resuscitating me.

The update:

On Valentines’ day, God and I enjoyed the day together, talked to my children, I was all smiling faces and by the end of the evening had received two heartfelt invitations, In non-relation to sex, imagine that. well I took it as progress. The journey continues…

But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.
