The Single SeasonSample

Grow While You Wait

Waiting can be hard, especially when it feels like everyone else is moving forward. But waiting doesn’t mean doing nothing; it means preparing. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.” That includes a time to be single and a time to be married. The waiting period is not meant to break you but to build you.

Use this time to grow emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. Read books, build your skills, strengthen your walk with God, and serve others. Don’t put your dreams on pause because you’re not married yet. Also, guard your heart. Avoid comparison and bitterness. Social media may tempt you to feel left out, but remind yourself, your journey is unique. When your moment comes, it will be beautiful in its time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

So keep improving, keep serving, and keep trusting. The version of you that God is shaping now will bless your future in ways you can’t imagine.
