Happy Singles Awareness Day! A.K.A Valentine's Day


Hi honeys!  I hope Valentine's Day dosen't have you depressed! ha! But seriously... I've always had a distaste for this "holiday," most likely because I've never been half of a couple this time of the year. Last year I saw a tweet about "Singles Awareness Day" and it stuck in my mind because it's SO true!  Normally I'm -oooh, what's a good word to use here?- jealous and sickened on Valentine's Day but this year it's all changed! haha! That's right folks, I've crossed over to the darkside and I'm happy it's Love Day!
 
Last one haha
 

   
 
That's right, it's pink galore and a smile to boot! I love pink any day and maybe it's the color that's partially responsible for my change in heart but I think it's a new season.  I'm expecting great things in life whether single or coupled and I'm even expecting love! I do, like the rest of you, have those lonely/kill me now moments but they are fleeting and the truth is, it's better to be lonely because you actually are alone than to be lonely because your partner allows you to feel that way... Don't you think? 
 
Best of all, and the biggest part of why I'm loving Valentine's Day this year is I actually have a VALENTINE! Woohoo! All those family members who were worried, you can breathe a sigh of release! ha!  He's absolutely perfect! He gave me the best Valentine's Day gift EVER, a life long commitment! He loves me more than anyone ever has - yes mama, that includes you - and I know it will last forever! I've always heard "you know when it's right" and I've always thought I would know even though I didn't have a clue how I would know... And I do! I know! I know because he shows me in his actions, tells me through his words, wants to talk to me every morning when I wake up and just before I go to sleep, he believes in me and helps me be a better person!  And I know you are probably almost ready to lose your lunch but just hold on, this can happen to you! You can have EXACTLY what we have! In fact, you can have Him! His name is Jesus and He loves you just as much as he loves me! He wants all of the things with you that we have! He believes in you and so do I!
 
What better day to start or renew a relationship with Him than Valentines Day!?  All you have to do is repent of your sins, not just say sorry and feel bad or maybe shed a tear but actually purpose in your heart and make a decision to stop, turn and change... Ask for Him to help you, He will... This step is continuous, you will make mistakes, you will revert back to old habits but just keep repenting daily (maybe more if you're like me! ha!) and give yourself some room, you'll look back one day and see all the changes that were invisible during your failure.  Get baptized! If you haven't been Baptized in the name of Jesus or you don't remember how you were baptized, get it done! It's an amazing experience that I guarentee will change who you are from the inside out!  There's something about the words they speak over your in conjunction with that name when they emmerse you in water that just makes you a new person it's lke the water is God's arms wrapping around you, never to let you go again!  And lastly, Jesus has one more thing but this is actually His gift to you, all you have to do is ask for it!  It's a comforter! Not like the blanket kind, the holyghost, which sounds a little creepy and weird but all it means is "God's spirit living in you" and it's the ONLY way to live! I can't even tell you how much I love Him, I can't tell you what His love feels like all I can say is "try Him, it'll change your life forever!"
 
Happy Valentine's Day sweeties!
