2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on m e. That is one of my favorite verses! Gods Grace is sufficient enough to carry us through whatever life throws at us. It is difficult to be vulnerable sometimes and express that we are struggling. Its easier to boast about our strengths rather than our weaknesses. It can be uncomfortable and maybe a little scary to admit that things aren't going well and reach out and ask for help. --- One thing that Im continously learning is that my dependence has to be in Christ. Everything in this world is fleeting, vain and unreliable. Paul knew what hardship looked like, I read about him and wonder how he was able to write letters and encourage others when he was suffering tremendously himself.

If you're single like me, February may bring about some anxiety and maybe even insecurities. I will be honest and say I have dreaded Valentines day for many years now. The fear that I may forever be single creeps in the most around this time of year.  I get it. You've probably thought last year was going to look different and you ended up spending it alone without a significant other. You've probably prayed the same prayer a thousand times. Like most single Christian women, "Lord, where is my Boaz?". (I wonder what guys pray, Lord send my Ruth? Hmm... I digress). Maybe you've given up on the idea that it will happen for you. I get it. Maybe you've grown cynical and weary in your wait. I get it.  I get it. Every spiritual and practical thing that can be said, has been said to help singles get through the difficult lonely seasons that come with it.
