NO DATING & THE PEACE THAT CAME ALONG -Singles Ministry

I wanted to update you on my journey of me not dating. I have a desire to be courted at this moment but I know that is not what God wants me to do right now. “Well how do you know that Ashley?” well for one I have a relationship with God and I’m sensitive to what The Holy Spirit has to say to me & we have a cool bond like that. The beginning of this year God made it clear that this year is for me! For me to get my finances in order, travel, help around in my church & to continue to prepare for my Adam, Boaz or whatever you would like to call him.

Marriage wasn’t something that would be the focal point of my 2015 and I’m fine with that because I want to enjoy this time with Him where I’m not obligated to make meals for two just yet, have to ask my husband if we have plans this weekend so that I could hang with friends, prepare every minute because I felt like my husband wasn’t making the right decision for us…. etc.

Many don’t know how much work goes into having a healthy and successful Christian marriage, but that doesn’t intimidate me at all. But I am more at peace with the idea that my time is coming just not any time soon as far as I’ve been told.

What have I been doing thus far along this journey?

Well for Valentine’s Day I went to the park and had lunch, read my bible, did some leisure reading and took selfies. It was nice and peaceful and I didn’t feel alone or sad because I didn’t have a man on that day. I want a Godly man everyday not just one day out of the year.

Have you communicated with any guys during your journey?

Yes, one but this was an individual I chatted with before starting this journey but totally nothing serious but I had to cut ties with that.

I have encountered God’s peace with the desire of being married, healing my heart from past hurt, not feeling adequate and more. I have never experienced His love & peace like this before and it’s not because He didn’t want to give it, it was because I didn’t look to Him for it. We can’t blame God for us not doing our part…

While I’m on this journey I have a desire to work in the singles ministry at my church and praying it will be beneficial for the women that God brings. The healing process is real and should be done with God only. You shouldn’t nor need to be in a relationship in order to get healed or over someone that my friend is a cover up!
