A renewed purpose!

  So today was an amazing day.. I went to church feeling very discouraged and God met me right where I was.. isn't that a verse?? lol  I was feeling lost I guess is a good word, without purpose, useless, like a failure, alone.. anyway you get the idea. I have been struggling with the fact that I am 35 and still single, so I get to church and the pastor is in I Cor. 7.. great the marriage chapter.. needless to say I was not pleased. :)  My first reaction was awww crap I can't get away from the subject.. it is all over my fb page,and in my day to day life.. I swear the whole world is getting married and having babies!.. anyway I thought at least at church I might escape the reality and focus on Jesus.. but nope! Needless to say God had a greater plan.. go figure. :) So the pastor is talking and I was doing my best to concentrate, when all of a sudden he gets to this verse about what the unmarried are to do.. and how it is a beautiful thing to be unmarried because it is possible for the person to focus on the things of the Lord.  I realized that I am called to serve Jesus above all else, now this is not to say that I may get married at some point.. but even if I do get married I still need to have Jesus first in my life, I have made marriage an idol in my heart, I need to focus on Jesus and that will make me into the person that God wants me to be.. a good wife, friend etc. 

   Oh the beautiful things that are possible when we focus on Jesus!  I can just relax and love Jesus and bask in His amazing love for me.. why would I worry, He has the best for me.. even if I can't see it right now. I am so free and happy and just excited right now! I have found my purpose that is not only for this world but for all eternity.. I am a slave of Jesus.. I am his beloved,  child, daughter,  chosen one, witness, and bride.
