Why Being Single Doesn't Suck

I used to always have this fear of being single and not having anyone to talk to.  Three years ago I was in a very dark place.  I looked to guys to validate my self worth and I always went to sleep feeling broken.  Even though Christ confirmed my worth when He died for me.  

I guess I never thought that He could love me still. I never knew He was weeping over me and the path I had chosen.

I've been single for almost three years and I can honestly say it has been the best three years of my life.  I've gone on mission trips, learned more about myself, what I want in a man, what I don't want, and I learned just how great I can be without depending on someone else.  

I'm about to head off for Haiti in 8 weeks (gah!) and all I can think about is how God used all of this pain from my past for His good.

I always think what would've happened if I remained in that state of mind and how I would have missed out on all these incredible opportunities God has sent me.

It's so amazing how God had my purpose for me all along, even when I was so filthy.
