It was then that it dawned on me. It was not about how much scripture I knew; it was about knowing myself fully inside and out – physically, emotionally and spiritually. All of these aspects would represent the woman who I was to become. My life was not solely ministry. I was a full-fledged, warm-blooded, thinking and loving woman with dreams, desires, emotions, likes and dislikes. I had areas in my past that needed to be dealt with and things in my present that needed revamping. Yes, I was getting the picture. Instead of jumping into a relationship and then cleaning house, I had to clean things up first.
I was accepting of what I'd heard and felt a weight lifting because of the hope that was restored in my spirit. I knew, now, that the process that God was taking me through to prepare me for my mate was for my own good. He was cleansing the rooms of my heart of the things that tried to taint me – things that I hadn't recognized – and perfuming me up to be found by that special one. God was loving me by showing me my inner beauty.

I agree, I always said the reason SOME people are single is because God is preparing them and getting them ready for each other, If we would only wait for whom He sends and not who we want. When a man finds a wife he finds a good thing!! So sistah's stop looking. We need to work on our selves and do a little Spring cleaning and clean our house, both literally and figuratively.
@ Tia: I agree. I had to learn how to be by myself and love me. If you can't learn how to be by yourself how can you know what you like and don't like in someone else. How can you be with someone else, if you don't know who you are. And the reality is, it is a good thing being single right now because I don't have to put up with no foolishness. I am free! Praise him!! lol
