What I'm Doing For Valentines Day

I never thought that I would be the one who would want to stay out of a relationship. I never thought that I would ever take the risk and sit and be by myself, not receiving a Valentine's Day card or going on a date. I find myself alone on the approaching holiday and I am okay with it. I am not going to be sitting there watching a sad romantic love story or anything of that nature. I will buy small boxes of candy for my my kids and a card each for all three of them to read. I will be buying some pretty flowers for myself, candy and maybe a card to myself. I won't be alone because I will be having a dinner date with God and spending time with Him. I am going to enjoy spending time with Him, reading the word and listening to him speak to me. I will be listening to praise songs like I always do. I am committed to the Lord and I am not going to let any random guy throw me off my course that I am traveling on. No way! i am content with being single, even though I have a desire to be a wife one day. The Lord does things in his own timing. I'm okay with that but I am content in my singleness and working on doing what I need to do. 

                            A Poem To The Captain Of My Soul              

                            

Thank you Lord for carrying me through and for all that you do. I know that there will be many who will get to know. I thank you for pulling me out of the darkness and into your marvelous light. Thank you for holding me through the painful, tearful and heartbreaking nights. I never have blamed my mistakes on you at all because there are times that I did purposely fall. The flesh got in the way of the right thing to do and the choice I made caused me to sin against you. I promise to honor You with my mind, body and soul for you are the one who loves me and has made me whole. All the hurt you replaced with peace and in You is the only place I'd rather be. 

I know you love me and I love you, even though I know you are sending me a husband who loves you. No man will never come before you. You created me and I will always and forever will first honor you. My heart is in your hands and no man can take your place. A man can only provide so much but you give me amazing grace. I love you God and I am never alone because You are the one who makes my family's house a happy home. I love you.
