A Quiet Little Woman

This is SUCH a wonderful CD!! You can order it from biblicalwomanhood.com for $8.97, and it is WELL worth the money!! I don't think that you can read the subtitle, but it says "The Incredible Potential and Possibilities for Unmarried Women". As Crystal Paine says so wisely: "I believe that God has something so much greater for Christian young women today than following the careerism, consumerism, humanism, and feminism that the world wants to offer you.” There is SO much for young girls to do besides just WAITING for prince charming... we need to work on becoming PRINCESS CHARMING!!

With Crystal's permission I am posting the three things that she suggests on her CD for single young women to do while waiting... BUT really anyone could do them! They are wonderful things for us all to develop and cultivate!!

1) Cultivate contentment and a grateful spirit

2) Deepen your relationship with Christ

3) Develop a servant's heart

Singleness is a time that you have a lot more time than you will later when you are married and have a family, SO devote this time to the LORD!!!!

I've recently been reading "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" and came across a wonderful quote about how important it is to WAIT on God's timing:

"...we've lost sight of the biblical principle of seasons (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). Just as spring's role is different from that of fall, so each of the seasons of our lives has a different emphasis, focus, and beauty. One is not better than another; each season yeilds its own unique treasures. We cannot skip ahead to experience the riches of another life season any more than a farmer can rush the spring. Each season builds on the one before it. Like a fruit picked green or a flower picked before it blossoms, our attempts to rush God's timing can spoil the beauty of HIS plan for our lives." Josh Harris

I've been kind of struggling lately with wanting to have things happen in MY time, but I am striving to realize that what GOD has in store for me is FAR better than anything I could have planned!! I don't need to try to rush anything, but patiently REJOICE in every season of my life!! May we all learn to be patient and wait on Heavenly Father's perfect time....
