11 Memes About the Single Life

The great thing about being single is that literally everyone has been there. Since I consider myself a resident expert at this point, I thought I would share some memes to make you all smile and remind you that you may be single, but you are not alone! (#Iknowthatwascheesy) 


I should really wait until something actually significant happens before I start telling people.


Ah yes. It's cute how I try to find hope! Probably emotionally traumatic, but cute.


Because if I'm trying to find hope in specks of dust, this will most likely happen. Should've seen that coming!


So now the only thing left to do is get over it. Easier said than done!


It's not like great people aren't out there. They are just all taken.


Yep, those flowers are definitely not for me. Celebrate with those who celebrate and rejoice with those who rejoice? 


After continually going through this disappointment, it starts to feel a little like this.


And then you realize the truth! Poor guy is just lost. 


But some people assume you have dated before. So, that's nice.


But somewhere in my heart, as much as I complain, I know that being single is super awesome. I have complete freedom over my schedule, my future, and my identity, and I love it! 


And ultimately, I trust God with this part of my life. Looking back, most of the boys I wanted to date would have been huge mistakes. I know that He is protecting me, and in His timing I will jump into the adventure that is THE DATING LIFE. Until then, #SINGLEANDLOVINGIT.

Broken Rose Colored Glasses

Image
I know this may come as a shock to some of you, but I tend to look at the world through rose-colored glasses. Just kidding, I don’t think anyone was shocked by that “revelation”. But recently I have been reflecting on this part of myself. I would not call it a flaw. I believe that looking for the redeeming qualities in people and situations flows from the heart of God. I believe a voice of hope is desperately needed in a world of cynicism and schisms, despair and detestation. Someone has to search for the silver lining, right? Someone has to keep pushing us forward, believing that our lives have meaning, we are not broken beyond repair, and God’s good purposes will ultimately prevail. That said, rose-colored glasses get me in trouble. Especially when those rose-colored glasses are looking at tall, dark, and handsome men (or other adjectives but you get the point) that I might have half a chance at dating. They get me in trouble in two ways: 1) I find hope where there is none, 2) I

Stop Asking "Why...?"

Image
Whenever anything negative, confusing, or difficult happens in our lives, our brains naturally snap to the question, "WHY?" Why did this happen to me? Why did this happen to my family? Why did God allow this to happen? We strain with all our resources to piece together an answer.  We want cohesion for our journey, purpose for our pain. Whether we believe in an Almighty God or not, we try to make meaning out of the events of our lives. We are humans. We are storytellers. It is just what we do. It is what I do. So hear me, I'm right with you all. But the last time I agonized over the "WHY?" I realized just how unhelpful that question can be - for two primary reasons.  1) We rarely get the answer . We can try to look for silver linings, order in the chaos, or beauty in the ashes... But how often is there a clear "This is why____ happened"?  In fact, I'll be so bold to say that even if we think we know the "reason why," we should be humble in

How Volunteering in Children's Ministry Will Change Your Life

Image
Although I adore children and am basically five at heart, I never really thought I’d go into children’s ministry. I had a laser focus on youth ministry -- it was all I thought about at night and all I ever wanted to do. More than anything else, I knew I was called to youth ministry. But this past year, thanks to the Holy Spirit, Beth Locke, and Jessica Stafford, I took a “detour” from my full-steam- ahead youth ministry track.** Best detour I ever took . I stepped into the world of kids’ ministry, and although I am now transitioning into a more youth-oriented role, I know I will never be able to step out of this rushing river. Kids’ ministry has captured my heart and changed my life. As I’m reflecting on my own experience, I thought I would share with you how stepping into kids’ ministry could change YOUR life (and why you totally need to do it!):   1) You’ll have fun filled memories : Squishing play dough, running around the church on a scavenger hunt, dri
