| Think About It: Wholeness and being complete comes from God-our Creator. Significant other's, children, friend's cannot provide us with the acceptance (wholeness) that we need. It's only as we allow our spirits to connect with the Spirit of the living God, that He will breathe life into those areas that are empty and incomplete. |

| What Are You Afraid of? What would you do if fear was not a factor? If fear was not looking you directly in your eyes, what would you attempt? What would you say? Where would you go? What would you dig your heels in and take a stand for? If you were certain that NO was not the answer, what dream would you be living? I think for many of us, our fears keep us one step shy of living the life God created for us. Our intellect, what we have experienced or what others have said, often keep us feeling paralyzed and from going deeper. This is what was going on when Jesus commanded Peter to launch out into the deep. “Put out into the deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” (Luke 5:4) Like many of us, Peter came up with excuses. We have been fishing all night. The fish are not biting. What will others think of us? Professional Fishermen listening to a Carpenter? We are tired and ready to pack up and go home. Peter was convinced that the answer was NO. Therefore, he was preparing to align his life to the answer the situation was giving him. But then there was a subtle shift, something inside of Peter caused him to trust and believe what Jesus was saying. “But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” (Luke 5:5) Because of his obedience and trust in the Lord, Peter received a blessing that was overwhelming. There are things that we want to do. Places we want to go. Lives we want to touch. Areas we want to impact and promises God has made to us, but we’ll only get them when we look fear directly in the eyes and allow the word of GOD to become alive in us. “God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7) Get off of the shoreline and launch out into the deep! Some things you’ll never take hold of until you go deeper. Stop making excuses and begin to act on what you believe is true. Begin to live out of the expectation God has given you. Stop allowing your situation to give you the answer. Stop allowing the enemy to whisper the word “no” in your ear. God is the ultimate authority, so if He says “yes”, then no matter what the situation looks like – your answer is YES. Start today by taking a small step towards what God has caused you to believe. You’ll be surprised at what can be accomplished when you overcome your fears. |

P.A.M.P.E.R. yourself
P- Pursue your goals. Go after your passions. Take this time to
prepare to be the best you can be. What do you really want? This is the
perfect opportunity to take steps towards those life-long dreams, your
dreams not someone else’s.
A- Apologize to no one for loving and being good to you.
Affirm yourself. You are special because God loves and accepts you.
There are no strings attached, He simply loves you. Embrace His love
and begin to love and accept who you are. It is in Him where you find
wholeness.
M- Maximize your moment! Meditate on the word of God. This time is
so unique and special for those who are single. You’ll never find a more
perfect time to truly develop and nurture your relationship with the Lord.
P- Pamper yourself. Spend time alone. Learn to be by yourself and
enjoy it. Treat yourself the way you want others to treat you. Live in the
moment and be content with where you are. Go see a movie, read a
good book or enjoy a hobby. Take care of yourself by getting fit and
making healthier food choices.
E- Envision your life being full of purpose. See yourself doing, being,
and living the life that you want to live. See yourself being the spouse
that God wants you to be. Allow Him to prepare you to be the spouse
He desires you to be. Most importantly, see yourself being the free
individual you are and love it.
R- Remember, being single should be one of the most blessed times of
your life. You can connect with God in ways that will be very
challenging once you have a spouse. Paul says in 1Corinthians 7:
32&33, “But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried
cares for the things of the Lord- how he may please the Lord. But
he who is married cares about the things of the world- how he may
please his wife.”
Embrace singlehood. Allow God to take you through the process of
being someone's husband/wife. Then when He brings the one HE has
created for you- you will be ready and your marriage will endure the test
of times.
