Feeling like me again....

All I can say is....Praise the Lord!!! =) I am feeling like me again. I'm not chasing after friendships....there's not one person of the opposite sex I am interested in....but I am resting in the Lord. I'm so done chasing after any kind of idol! It feels so great. There is so much joy. I feel so free... I have been through some tough places...mostly due to my stupidity...and not that there aren't more around the corner...but it just feels so good to be me again. In odd ways I have been stripped of some relationships. I praise Him for it. I am so full of joy and I know it's because the Lord has healed my heart! He has shown Himself faithful and that only He can be what I need. He has made me whole! I know He is so much better..than ANY relationship. I had breakfast with a dear dear friend who is a bit older than myself and I asked her about her singleness--since she is about to head overseas. She just reminded me that Paul said it's better to be single....she decided maybe there was something to that...if Paul said it...it's in the Bible.....the Bible is true...then maybe she should start believing it. What struck me is how precious it is to take the Bible as truth. It gives life and sustains. So...I am finding the joy in being single. Believing that as long as God has given me this gift...it must be better. So far it has been better...especially when I hear of my friends who are in hard marriages, divorced, or in a hard relationship but won't get out because they fear being alone. The single life must be so much better than being in a wrong relationship!
I am finding fun and joy! I am completely 100 percent myself these days. I just figure if God has someone for me......he will have to work for this girl......I am so done doing ANYTHING!!
So what if He has to climb a wall....that's what men were created to do..climb walls and slay dragons!! =)
