Dear One Day is Today,

So, excluding a relationship, is there any other dreams you have for yourself? Like maybe going on a missions trip your church is hosting, going to a specific college, starting a new ministry at church, or maybe learning a new hobby? Any of these are possible at any point in life, but… they would be so much easier while you are unmarried or don’t have kids to watch over.

Singleness is an inevitable condition. So why not use that time to fulfill some of your other dreams wholeheartedly rather than wasting your time waiting for a relationship.

I can’t tell you how many nights I wasted watching chick flicks and dramas wishing that the main girl was me and I was ending up with the handsome lead male character. I didn’t realize until it was too late the amount of priceless free time I wasted.

Too many young women waist valuable years as they wait for “life to begin” at the start of a relationship. This is not to say that a woman can’t pursue her other dreams after she is married, but she will have a much higher price to pay and often the pursued dream turns into a nightmare!

If you love serving Jesus, please don’t waste your free time or consider yourself too unhappy to help anyone else. Thinking that way is the start of self-centeredness which will rob you of the joy of serving. Satan wants nothing more than you to continue dreaming about how “one day” you will get involved in ministry. He likes to distract young women, and men, from making lasting investments in themselves during their singleness.

Look for the opportunities that God is placing in front of you today, like that missions trip you have been wanting to take or that hobby that looks like fun. Learn today how to use your free time for what Jesus wants rather than wasting your time on what may come “one day.”

As a married woman, I regret missing so many great opportunities as a single, which I now have no time to pursue. I wish I had someone to encourage and show me how to use my single time wisely.

Don’t wait for “one day”, make it today to start your life.

                                                                            Until next time,
                                                                            Tami
