I don't even know her, but somehow, I felt like a proud mom watching this powerful speech by @realalexclark. I've been listening to her podcast for a couple of years now, and she's displayed significant spiritual growth during that time. The speech she gave this week, "Stewarding Your Season of Singleness," was the best exhortation on how to view singleness and redeem the time as an unmarried Christian woman that I've heard in a long time. Every single lady needs to listen! "For years, I thought God was delaying my life. And looking back, He kind of was, but not in a negative way. He was preparing me. I thought I was waiting on God. And the truth is, God was working while I was waiting. And here's what I've learned. Sometimes God isn't saying no. Sometimes, He's preparing a yes that's bigger than the one that you asked for... Ladies, your life doesn't begin when you get married. Your life doesn't begin when you have children. Your life does not begin when you finally get the thing, whatever it is that you've been praying for. Your life begins the moment, the moment, the very second that you give it to Christ. And if you spend this season becoming the woman that God is calling you to be, then whether marriage comes next year, or 10 years from now, or not at all, you will not have wasted a single day. Because a life fully surrendered to God is never a life on hold." Link to full video below
