Ecstatically Single

Whoops, okay, maybe I should've explained something. You might've looked at the previous post, and thought, "Well, what does that have to do with being ecstatically single?"

Let me clarify, here and now, that there is no such thing as "Ten Steps to ..." No matter what any slick problem-solver may tell you. "Follow these ten steps, and you will become filthy rich. Happily married. Irresistibly beautiful." And then they have the nerve to add, "Trust me!" (You know the tone.)

I'm truly sorry to anounce that becoming ecstatically single--or anything else worthwhile--isn't done in ten steps. I've tried it. If it worked, I would try to change every preacher out there from using a three-point outline to using a ten-point outline every time he climbed up behind the sacred desk. And congregations world-wide would be seeking my life.

It's a process. Made up of, I believe, a few biblical principles, and a lot of God's grace, manifested in   quirky-cool stuff that only gets you through one day (and is only meant to get you through one day) and awesomely precious bits of truth. Like praying for the people around you and truly meaning it. And truly treasuring your throne-room time.  One of the biggest problems I have to face as a single person is believing I'm the only one with problems. When I get my mind off me and onto others, and the Problem-Solver, everything starts to look better almost immediately. Don't believe me? Try it.
