❤️ LIE #1 THAT SINGLE GIRLS BELIEVE:⠀
⠀
→ Life doesn’t begin until you get married.⠀
⠀
Any single girls believe that now?? I think that this one can be such a subconscious lie. I know that I never would have said that I believed this!⠀
⠀
Yet we see our single years as years to just “get through” or “endure.” Once they’re over and we’ve found our man, life will truly begin!! Anyone thinking that right now?⠀
⠀
But it’s a lie.⠀
⠀
I think this truly goes back to our purpose in life: to know Jesus and make Him known, and to seek first the kingdom of God & His righteousness (Matt. 6:33).⠀
⠀
We can do that in whatever season we are in!! 🙌🏻 We could be single, dating, married, widowed etc. ⠀
⠀
Because our purpose in life is not dependent on our relationship status, we can enjoy life and thrive RIGHT NOW. What a blessing and a gift! 🥳⠀
⠀
There truly is so much good in singleness. I pray that you see that! Don’t wait around to enjoy life! 🥰⠀
⠀
And just a little bonus: life doesn’t become easier or perfect when you find your person. So don’t waste these years yearning for a perfect future that doesn’t exist! Choose to thrive NOW.⠀

Can we talk about expectations for a minute?⠀
⠀
When I was single, I was told to pray for my future husband. I was told to hold out for the one that God had for me. I was told not to lower my standards. I was reminded of my worth and told not to settle.⠀
⠀
So I dreamed. And prayed. And waited.⠀
⠀
I’m not saying any of these things are bad. In fact, they’re all good things. But for me, they bred unrealistic expectations for my future husband. ⠀
⠀
I expected perfection, even though I never would have claimed that. It wasn’t intentional by any means.⠀
⠀
Although I always say Jason is perfect for me, he’s not perfect. I’m not perfect. But he loves Jesus and is growing.⠀
⠀
So can I challenge you? Take inventory of your thoughts and hopes, and try to see if you’re creating unrealistic expectations. ⠀
⠀
→ Look for a growing man, not a perfect man.⠀
⠀
Please don’t settle, but also don’t set yourself up for disappointment ❤️
