THE ESSENCE OF BEING SINGLE

bE INSPIRED OF THIS BEAUTIFUL ARTICLE..HOPE U LIKE IT.

All your life, you had specific dreams about what your family life would be like when you finally married.You were so intent on what you wanted, you even made a list of qualities and characteristics you were looking for in a spouse, in a home, in your job, in your children.But time passed, and that person you were so intent on didn't come along.
All of your friends married, had children, had beautiful homes.
And still you were single. You prayed and prayed and prayed for that person to come along, but nothing happened.You had a good job.
You served in your church.
You spent daily time with the Lord in prayer and studying the Word.
You dedicated your life to serving God in every way possible, but still nothing.So you decided to take matters into your own hands, and you began an active search for a mate.And within a short period, you met someone who almost fit the bill. Almost.Sure, there were a few things Missing, a few rusty spots in that person's character.But, after all, no one is perfect.
Maybe your goals were too high.
Maybe you'd been asking for the impossible.Maybe this was the person God wanted for you so your character could grow through dealing with his or her failings.Even though it often seems that God is slow to answer prayers, no matter whether it's about a mate, or a job, or ourchildren, or our finances, or anything else, we have to remember that God doesn't wear a watch.
Nor does He look at our human calendars.
He sees with eternal eyes.
He operates on an eternal timetable, according to His plan and His schedule.If God seems to be running late, don't get impatient and run ahead of him.Wait for the Lord's timing in everything.To the single folks out there, this is for you.Single means you have the time to grow and be the person you want to be.

Single gives you space to grow.Sometimes, it is harder to grow when you are too close to someone. Trees are planted far apart so they can spread their branches and become strong as they mature.

Single means learning to live by yourself.However, that is no more difficult than learning to live with somebody else.
Single means freedom.You are free to spend a week's vacation on the beach, to take computer courses, to work late on an interesting project, to spend the day in bed with a good book or simply with a person who has read one.

Single means learning not to need a man/woman to make your life meaningful but learning to live with a an/woman because you want to be with him/her.

Single means that sometimes you will wonder why you will bite your lip and feel wistful and wonder if marriage is better.

Ironically, yet quite happily, single is feeling good about being in control of your life. It is liking and respecting who you are and why you are.
Single is realizing that being married is not necessarily better, it is merely different.S

ingle means that there could be something wonderful around the corner and you can take advantage of it.

Being single means you are free to love again.

Rainy Days

these past few days, heavy rains really poured,,non-stop rains,,hehehe,i went home last weekends but the weather was really so bad.we managed to stay at home together with my family.i took my leave today but just halfday, because i was not feeling well.i return to work in the afternoon.
the moment i arrived at the office, i had lots of pending works so i was in a hurry to work, but guess what we were treated by our office mates for a free lunch..
it was really a boring day.

Hearts Day

Today we celebrate the season of love, the favorite holidays of lovers, perhaps to those who are in love, this will their most romantic and unforgettable day but for those who are single, this would be just an ordinary day,thu it seems we envy those couples and girls having flowers and chocolates,nevertheless, we enjoy our singlehood.

As i went home after office, rain suddnely poured, it was really heavy that i was even wet the moment i arrived at home.At the door step, i've met my board mate with his bf, they were actually going out for a dinner, a date actually.When i entered the room, i was suddenly fascinated by the loneliness and emptiness of the four corner walls. I began to think "why am i alone"?suddenly i heared something outside, maybe a beautiful love song, and it really amazed me, so went out to see what was going on outside, but it was just a our neighbor playing their cd, but quite nice, on my way to bed, my attention was caught by a beutiful thing, there it was, a bouquet of roses from the bf of my boardmate, out of curiousity, i get it and i saw the message...there it goes"to baby"....i would always apprecaite the moment you walked in my life"..i said" wow" and tears suddenly fell,,i dont know...i guess because i was touched of the message and i feel that my friend was indeed lucky to have him.

That moment really made me sad,,but still i managed to control it.coz i know in God's best time,,i would met the man he intends to paint my life not anymore with blue but with colors that would surely brightens my life..

I would always look forward for that day,,i may never knew when will that be, but who knows as i went out from office and take my lunch, cupid would start to create my story.

Family

F A M I L Y I ran into a stranger as he passed by, "Oh excuse me please" was my reply. He said, "Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you." We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye. But at home a different story is told, How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked him down. "Move out of the way," I said with a frown. He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken. While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said, "While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes." By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by his bed; "Wake up, little one, wake up," I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree. I picked 'em because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue." I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way." He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway." I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue." FAMILY Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives

the missing puzzle

its been a long while since i last saw him, we have our everyday trials and we laugh at life's funny moments, seldom will i see his smile, and very rare that i see him crying. i know hes at the peak of his career and all i can do is to support him all thru out his journey, He once promised that he will always be the man that i used to know and he will always be my better half.

Sometimes, i know that i am not always a perfect partner, i flirt if i miss him and sometimes i neglect him,sometimes i may not always be the half or just even be the one third of the whole but nevertheless its still me that completes the puzzle.
