What Singleness Taught Me About Joy

For a long time, I thought joy would come after the waiting season — after all the promises and new relationships. But life has a way of teaching us lessons in unexpected places. Singleness, for me, became one of those places.

In this blog, I want to share a few things that singleness taught me — not about loneliness or waiting, but about joy. Deep joy. God-given, soul-stabilizing joy.

🕊️1. Joy Isn’t About Your Status — It’s About Your Source

The world often equates happiness with having someone by your side. But, joy doesn’t come from being coupled up. It comes from being centered. In this season of singleness, I’ve found joy by drawing close to God and letting Him fill the spaces I once thought I needed to be filled by someone else.

Joy shows up when you stop chasing validation and start embracing your divine identity.

💛 2. Singleness Gave Me a Space to Discover Myself

I didn’t realize how much of myself I hadn’t fully met. Singleness gave me space to breathe, grow, try new things, make mistakes, laugh at myself, and really enjoy my own company. I’ve learned how to take myself on walks, talk to God freely, and find peace in silence.

I used to see this season as “in-between.” Now I see it as a gifted place of personal joy and growth.

🌿3. I Learned to Let Joy Be Simple

Joy doesn’t always shout — sometimes it whispers. I’ve found joy in small things: a warm morning light, a beautiful braid style, the quiet confidence of showing up as myself on video, or a meaningful conversation with God.

These moments taught me that I don’t have to wait for joy. It can meet me right here.

💬 Final Words

If you’re walking through singleness, know this: it is not a holding cell. It’s a holy season. And joy is not delayed — it is here. Right now. With God, you’re never missing out. You’re being built up.

A Wake-Up Call: Few Will Enter the Kingdom of God

A Wake-Up Call: Few Will Enter the Kingdom of God Recently, I had a dream that I believe holds a significant message not only for myself but for many others. I feel led to share this dream with you, as I believe it serves as a spiritual wake up call–a reminder of the urgency of walking in the truth and seeking the Kingdom of God. In this dream, I found myself in a large classroom filled with 30 or more adults. The atmosphere was serious, almost as if everyone was waiting for something important to happen. At the front of the classroom, there was a door that led to a small, enclosed room. I stepped into that room, and with me was a man, though I couldn’t clearly identify who he was. In my hand, I was holding four large wooden dowels. These dowels were about 12 inches long and colored similarly to chico sticks — bright and attention - grabbing. I kept turning to the man beside me, telling him, “You tell them,” as if I was unsure of delivering the message myself. But each...

The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care

The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care Life often brings uncertainty, pain, and struggles. In difficult times, it's easy to forget just how powerful and loving our God is. Psalm 147 is a beautiful reminder that God not only controls the universe but also cares deeply for His people. 1. God Heals the Brokenhearted One of the most comforting verses in Psalm 147 is verse 3: "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." No matter what trials we face—whether heartbreak, loss, or disappointment—God is always present to restore us. His love is greater than our pain, and His healing is perfect. 2. God’s Power Extends Over All Creation Verse 4 says: "He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names." This verse shows that God’s knowledge and power are limitless. If He cares enough to name every star, how much more does He care for us? 3. God Provides for All "He giveth to the beast his food, ...

America Wake Up!

America, Wake Up: Preparing for an Uncertain Future Major changes are happening in America, and if you haven’t been paying attention, now is the time to wake up. With the new administration in power, significant cuts are being made to essential programs such as food stamps, housing assistance, and medical aid. Millions of Americans who have relied on these services may soon find themselves without support, leaving many struggling to survive. The question is: are you ready for what’s coming? The System is Changing—Are You? For decades, many have depended on government assistance to make ends meet. However, as policies shift, these safety nets are shrinking. Qualifying for housing is becoming increasingly difficult, with landlords demanding high credit scores and income three times the rent. Healthcare costs continue to rise, and food assistance programs are being scaled back. The message is clear: relying on the system is no longer a safe bet. It’s time to take control of your fut...
