Sometimes.....it just hits me like a ton of bricks!

It was last Saturday, I was driving alone in my car. I didn’t have anything to do. I was on my way to my BFF’s house to take care of her dogs that night because she and her husband went away overnight.

Then it hits me, I’m single.

Most of the time I really don’t dwell on it.

But it’s moments like last Saturday when I’m alone, no plans and nothing to do, and that’s when it really hits, I don’t have anyone like that to spend my time with, and it’s at those moments that I wish I did.

It’s a tough world for singles sometimes when the reminders are all around you.

Turn on the TV, there’s always a Lifetime movie on showing a story about two people finding their way to each other.

Go to a romantic movie at the theaters and the ending will undoubtedly be two people embraced in a passionate kiss and expressing their love for each other and caught up in the moment.

It’s in the magazines when you see an ad with a guy and a girl, and it doesn’t matter what the ad is for.

It’s when you’re walking thru the mall and you see that couple holding hands.

It’s when you’re in a restaurant and a guy and girl are lost in conversation and lost in each other and it’s like no one else is in the room but them.

It’s in the love songs you hear on the radio. (and maybe Beyonce’s “All the Single Ladies” too, ha)

It’s in the books you read that has that sweet love story tied in.

It’s with each Valentine’s Day that comes around when it’s just another reminder that you’re single.

It’s with each person who asks “So, are you dating anyone?”

It’s in every forward email I receive that says send this to 10 people and you will find your true love. Ha! Seriously?

It’s in every couple you come across and you just wonder, for that brief second, how did they get so lucky.

When people say… Oh, honey, there’s someone out there for you…. I know they mean well, but it truly doesn’t bring much comfort unless you start believing that for yourself.

My husband is out there, somewhere over the rainbow maybe? Who knows. In another state? Possibly.

But for some reason, God just doesn’t see the timing right just yet.

His timing is perfect.

His ways are not our ways.

The wait will be worth it.

He cares about the details and cares about the things that matter to us.

I realize it’s not about some people being lucky in love and others not. That’s not how God is. I truly believe someone is out there for every one.

I was watching Notting Hill this past weekend and do ya'll remember the part towards the end where she says "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."



Oh.My.Goodness... The sweetest part of the whole movie.

My singleness, sometimes…it just hits me like a ton of bricks!
