I traveled today. I've been traveling a lot this summer. Today I came to Maryland where I will remain the rest of the summer. In the traveling this summer I have been reminded of a few things.
One of these things is that being single is a gift, and a gift that I am learning to appreciate more and more. Being able to go from one friend's to another and spending time hanging out with friends is not something that could be as easily done if married; especially picking up my stuff and coming and staying most of the summer at my parents. Just thinking through the things I will be involved with at CIU next year and the simple fact that I am able to attend CIU all point to me to the wonderful flexibility I have being single. I am so thankful that God gives good gifts. Being single now is not a second class status, but is something that I can enjoy and fully use for God's glory.
Is there some struggle in this all? You better believe it. It is not always fun to feel so mobile. It is not always fun to be on car rides to these places by myself. And honestly, I would love to be married. But to focus on the negative seems so petty.
God has given me this good gift of being single, may I use it to the fullest for His glory.
