Alright ladies, moment of truth. How many times were you
distracted by your dream wedding pinterest board during class today? In
general, how many times have you begged the question “When?! When will it
happen to me, God?”
Whatever that “it” is, I think sometimes (or in my case
oftentimes) we fall into the discrete trap of not simply waiting, but waiting in
vain. That is, waiting with the wrong mentality, the wrong intentions.
Here is an article specific to living as a single woman
called “Single and Not Waiting” by Rachael Selinger.
My challenge to all those reading this – single or not – is
to ask yourself what areas of your life have you fallen prey to the temptation
of this waiting mentality? Where does this mentality rob you of your joy? In
what ways do you use God?
Let us seek fulfillment in Him first.
“What
we can and must do is open ourselves to grace; that means to renounce our own
will completely and to give it captive to the divine will, to lay our whole
soul, ready for reception and formation into God’s hands.” –Edith Stein
