Valentine's Day?

So there is this holiday coming up... Its one of the most loved and the most hated. What is that holiday you ask? Valentines Day. Every year I think, Oh great another year of being single and having to watch all these people be annoying couples... So when I thought about adding to my blog the first thought was to write about how God has this amazing man for me and I just have to wait for his timing. This is good and all but then God said Stop! Rethink this. Instead of going another year whining and being oh poor pitiful single me, don't think of Valentines Day as being a day to think about when you are going to have the perfect relationship with your knight in shinning armor. Think of this holiday as being a Day were you focus on your most important relationship with the Most High King! If I thought about growing my love for God as much as I think about my future husband, well lets just say I would be a whole lot closer to God in my spiritual walk. The Creator, Savior, and Sustainer of the universe wants to show me this love everyday! So this year I'm trading in my wanting a valentine to fully seeing the Love God is continuously giving me. Please don't let this make you think that I'm saying there is anything wrong with having a Valentine or praying for your future husband. I can't wait for the day when I have that person who thinks of only me on Valentine's Day, and I will never stop praying for him and his spiritual walk. However, God has laid on my heart to find my first love again. I pray that everyone, including me, will Remember this Valentine's Day who first loved us. Like it says in Deuteronomy 7:6 "For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession". He has love greater than a thousand Valentine's and somehow I have looked over this great love every year. Us loving and growing our relationship is enough Valentine's Day present for Him. He owns everything else. He just wants you and me. Amen!

This week I have been reading Mandisa's Blog about Single Appreciation Day. What God is teaching her is so amazing and uplifting! Go Read It! 

I happened to stumble upon this sweet Godly woman, and her story of the biggest struggle in her life. It does not have to do with Valentine's Day, but she is has such a heart for God and shares many of God's truths. Click this.It's good!
