Finding God In My Season Of Singleness

Lately, I have been focused a lot on my singleness. I have a lot of friends who are in relationships and so I have been feeling kind of frustrated because I have never dated. Now that I am in my 20s I have noticed myself becoming a lot more focused on it. I feel like a lot is going to change in my twenties, and that's also when people typically get married. I know that there is not really a timeline for marriage, but when friends everywhere are dating and getting engaged, I start to question if I will ever find someone for me.

I try to step back and trust God because I know that God already has my whole story written out. But it is hard to trust God with stuff that is so big, even though He has everything in the palm of His hand. I have been longing for a relationship that God has not yet placed in my path. We were meant to be with someone else, and I am really starting to feel that. I am in a season of waiting to see what the Lord has for me, and it is a hard season to be in, but I know that it won't last forever. Hopefully. I have had the words "Jesus I will trust you in the mystery" written on my hand for a few days, and every time I look at it I remember, that what is a mystery to me, is not a mystery to God. All my fears, all my concerns, wants, and needs are all known to God, and that is one thing that is so comforting to me.

I read this quote today, and it spoke so much truth into me.

"There is a purpose for every season in your life. Don't be discouraged when it seems like others are moving ahead and you're not. Don't lose hope when you haven't quite met your goals. God is still with you, breathing life into you daily, giving you hope in every single season" #QuiteWomenCo

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
