Hello Again...Again

After hiatuses, people usually have LOOOONG, drawn out stories about why they went under the radar for what seems like a thousand years. I, on the other hand, have one, simple, concise and to the point explanation for my absence:



Lack of motivation to write about being single when I STILL hated the word.

And there you have it. I didn't want to write about something that I, after claiming my status, having tons of fun, immersing myself into God's Word and getting a new job, could still NOT deal with. I still felt myself yearning towards marriage and companionship and could not understand why there was no drive to even think about singleness as fun and fulfilling.

But after some introspection, almost four years of silence on this blog and a few mistakes and changes in my life...I can now say that I GET IT. I finally get this "single" thing. Singleness, although a journey shared by many, is definitely an individual thing. There isn't some manual that tells you how to be single and how to do it well. For me, it is taking an ear to the Father's Lips, the patience that surpasses understanding and some serious transparency for me to excel in this place in my life.

With that being said, I'm back. "The Single Life" was a project that I started because I wanted to encourage other women who were on the same road that I'm finding myself on. I believe God gave me the gift of writing and also the journey of singleness for this reason. And as I heard one of my sisters in Christ say so eloquently , "When God gives you a task, it's best you complete it."

 So, I shall be completing my task...or at least taking it on as I'm not sure what completion means with a blog like this (ha, ha!). That being said, with the rebirth of this blog, I hope what you read here encourages you, strengthens you and gives you a fresh insight on what it means to live "The Single Life"

Life it up!
