One of the inspiring books I read recently was Start Something That Matters by Blake Mycoskie (the guy who invented Tom's shoes). In it, he asked a question that really made me think. Actually, it made me put down the book and dare to dream and that's when some really amazing changes started happening in my heart.
Blake asked readers, in regards to finding their passion, what they would do with their time if they didn't have to worry about money. What causes did they care about and what gifts had they been given.
I thought long and hard about that and answered those questions. I wrote out a list. Then I realized that while the dream of marriage and family hasn't happened yet, I had stumbled upon something that had been right in front of me all along.
This question popped into my head:
What would my dream single life look like??
I looked back over the list I'd made moments earlier and knew my dream single life would include achieving those things, soaking up time with my Lord (mom friends of mine assure me that quiet time with God is never quite the same after marriage and kids), and having unlimited possibilities.
Butterflies of excitement rushed through me as I wondered how many things on my list were possible to do this year.
And just like that, living my Dream Single Life began. Then contentment and joy followed! This just kept getting better and better!
One of my coworkers asked me recently, "What are you smiling at?"
"I'm just happy," I shrugged in response, as I could tell it was not the time to explain all that I was learning.
Are you living your Dream Single Life? If not, what's holding you back? What things are possible for you to change right now?
I challenge you to prayerfully ask the Lord and see what wonderful things come of it. :)
