All the Single Ladies

This one is strictly for the single ladies only....

I have a single relative. She is a young single mother to multiple children who in spite of past mistakes is in the process of making something out of herself. Although she is in the process, she is not in her "wealthy place" as of yet.

What I notice about her is rather disturbing though. She regularly says she is waiting on God to send her her Boaz, meaning a husband. I hear this from her all the time. What I also hear is her complaining, gossiping and having a negative attitude. She surrounds herself with catty women therefore she behaves that way as well. She also regularly says how much she wants to lose weight yet she is doing nothing about it. She does not have any money of her own yet she says she won't date a man who is a "scrub".  And her house....is always dirty.

She is expecting her future husband to come on to the scene and rescue her yet she is doing none of this for herself. She, like many women, is waiting for Prince Charming to come along and take all of her struggles away yet she is doing nothing in the mean time to prepare for him. I believe in waiting on God...but I also know we also must show God that we can be trusted with what we are waiting on (Faith without works is DEAD!) . The same way God will not give you a raggedy man...He will not give His son a raggedy woman. And to all who say you want a Boaz...realize that Ruth was a hustler! She WORKED!

If you really believe that God is going to give you something, you need to prepare for that thing before it arrives! God will not give you a present only to watch you destroy it. If you believe you will be married one day, live the life of a wife now so you can show God that you are ready.

Clean your house. Keep up with the laundry. Keep your pantry stocked. Know how to cook. Keep yourself healthy. Know how to maintain a household income...which can only be done by going out and making you some money!

Stop waiting for Prince Charming to show up and make everything better. God gave you all of the abilities within yourself to make a better life for you. All you have to do is believe...and stop being lazy! Get your own money. Have your own life and while you are living the good life that God blessed you to earn, your "Boaz" will be watching you. He will have his eye on you and you may not even be aware of it. He is watching you build your empire and when he sees he can trust you, he will gladly welcome you into his.

Marriage is beautiful but so is your singleness. The beautiful thing about being single is now is the time that you can be selfish and focus on what you will bring to the table. Know what type of wife you want to be and be that woman now. Work on your career. Increase your education. Even get your body together! Purpose in your heart to stay away from silly women who will tarnish your spirit. Work on your life and abilities so that when who ever your God ordained husband is is released into your life, you will be able to be a help meet and not an additional burden to him.

He is not your Savior. Jesus is. :")

Until next time!
