February 14 has come again–and with it, scads of single women hole up in their houses to pout over chocolates they’ve bought themselves (or else they gather together to collectively bemoan\/celebrate their singleness, preferably in someone’s home so the outside world doesn’t have to see their desperation.)<\/p>\n

I did the latter last night (although we only spent about ten minutes bemoaning–and that brought up by the one married woman in our midst!) <\/p>\n

Today, I’ll spend the day working as usual, hopefully giving God thanks for the rich life He’s given me right now-and trusting that His plan for my future is just right.<\/p>\n

I was blessed this past week to read Monica’s encouragement<\/a> to single women:<\/p>\n

“Remember Abraham, who waited over 25 years for the fulfillment of the promise \u2013 when he tried to make it happen on his own, he created a whole mess that carries on in the Middle East even into the present day. God still fulfilled His promise to Abraham, however, and will fulfill every promise to us today<\/strong> (I Corinthians 1:20). If we hold onto those promises He has made, and resist the passions of the world, we will experience the joy of peaceful obedience to the One who satisfies the soul.<\/strong>“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite our teasing about maybe “just happening” to have our cars break down outside of the Christian school that (allegedly) has two single male teachers, I know that it is better to wait on the Lord–and to trust that He will fulfill my every need and conform my every desire to His.<\/p>\n

My brother Daniel has encouraged me to post links to last year’s “Love Month”, lest any readers should benefit from my experiences and expertise (Hah!) in the world of singleness and relationships.<\/p>\n

So, without further ado: Love Month 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n
