Christian, Single and Investing

Yesterday I received confirmation just hours after asking God to help me understand my situation.  To be honest I was asking God to help me understand something I already knew.   Having been single for almost 3 years, I realize that this time alone is probably one of the most significant periods for my spiritual growth.  During this period I was able to grow and develop an intimate relationship with God while grown in other areas of my life as well.  

Today I realized (deep down I already knew) that some of the people in my life are not meant to be in my life in the manner they are.  I realize its okay for me to want more in man.  There is nothing wrong with wanting him to be the man.  I love helping others and often times find it hard to say no but sometime my giving can hurt others.  If I am constantly giving to him, what incentive does he have to get it on his own? As my friend explained to me, maybe God is bringing him to that point where he'll have to act in order to move to the next level.   I cannot interfere in that.  

So ultimately that puts me on a journey of falling back and simply being a lady.  As women we may have it all together (the job, the house, the car, etc.) but I realize while we may want to give and support we have to be careful in the manner in which we do that.  If our actions prohibit men from truly being men then we have to fall back.   I realize that many will not understand this and simply do not agree but this what I feel and believe it applies to me and my situation.  So now I'm beginning anew.  Bishop Bronner preached Sunday that we should invest in our faith, family, finances, and our future.  That is exactly what I intend to do and along the way God will send the one he created just for me.  

Here's to my investment...
