Today's Living

Singleness.

I'm trying to embrace it,

trying to be thankful for it,

trying to find contentment despite it.

I'm trying not to wish I was like my friends

who are getting engaged or married.

I'm trying to focus on

the ways I can serve, single.

the friends I have, who are single

the ministry I'm available to, single.

Elisabeth Elliot says we should accept our singleness as a gift.

This gift for this day.

"The life of faith is lived one day at a time,

and it has to be lived---not looked forward to

as though the "real" living were around the next corner.

It is today for which we are responsible.

God still owns tomorrow."

-Elisabeth Elliot

Patience, Surrender, and Trust are all holding hands in my life right now.
