Singled Out The Purpose!

It is early and the house is quiet. I do not hear the sound of hard snores coming from my husband of so many years. There isn’t the sound of a small snoring coming from my children. It is just me. Has always been so since my teenage years. When I am ask the question regarding,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], my status I am often given awwww, looks. When this happens, I want to proclaim to them it is well with me.
“No, no,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I am good,” I stated this smilingly.
The churches Mother’s pet my hand; gently nodding their heads.
"Umm humm." One stated with compassion in her eyes.
"Bless you, baby," Another whispers.
“God is gonna see about you. You hear? You just keep holding on,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sweetie.” They turned walking away muttering powerfully in their heavenly tongues.
Now, I am about to get real here. I never discuss nor have I ever taught a class on being single and or authored books with tips on how to get a man. That just isn’t me. God has not called me to do that-- and I am glad. I honestly don’t like talking about it. When I can be talking about something else―what you may ask? Hum,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are you happy? Where you are in life? Anything. Uh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], oh. I think I’ve just got some frowns right there. That is ok I am accustom to those looks; as I have always been hailed, as being “something strange.”
I have attended some single’s conferences; (when I wanted to attend ‘The Power Belongs to You,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!” class) and it has never failed that somewhere along the line someone somehow stopped fighting temptations. I’ve often wondered,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], how one person manages to sustain and another do not; especially, when they are receiving the same teaching? I am in no wise downing anyone. That is not what this note is about--it just makes me wonder.
If teaching states that: if you’ve a certain weakness try to avoid things that will so easily beguile you. Is it not obvious that something negative will happen? For years it was thought maybe I was strange. Other view being single as sometime of course singled out: The Purpose,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! I have had quite an experience making my vision (dream) come to pass. It was and still is a journey. Sometimes smooth, often times rocky,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], certainly lonely,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and joyful was my experience. I’ve always wanted to “be somebody,” at a young age I’ve tried to make sound decisions. Like being willing to abstain until marriage to have my family. My plan was as follows:
1. Graduate from College
2. Six figures income
3. Infinite car
4. Get married
5. Have kids
6. Be on television
Check off the list:
College Degree? Check. That was as far as I could go. The unexpected happened. I got sick for many years. What hellacious years they were,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! I know pain physically,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mentally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and emotionally. Having endured this for so many years, I have grown sensitive to those who are hurting around me. Sometimes it can become overwhelming. Yet, God who is faithful will put no more on us than we can bare. I’ve always believed this. Real Talk: Singled Out: The purpose.
This is not a sad story. I am not alone nor am I lonely. I was singled out for a purpose. Had I not gone through my experience with Catamenial Pneumothorax (a women lung collapses after 24-48 hours),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], isolation, seven chest tubes and lung surgery; I wouldn’t be posting this note to you. I wouldn’t have authored several books; I would not be writing and performing inspirational stage productions. There are just something’s a woman has to do on her own.
Do you remember Hannah,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the Bible? She was singled out for purpose,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! Her husband gave her the best of all he had. Yet, he could not reach the deepest need inside of her. So,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she arose up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! Don't get discouraged! Give out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but don't give up! Woo hoo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! Hannah had a plan―and if you give God a plan; He will work with it! In the end she birthed her purpose. As did I--- and so can you!
