So I bet you are wondering, how is singleness the best season of my life? Or how does it get any better than Netflix or singles dances? (Yes. I know. Major eye rolling going on here!)
Well, guess what. That is why I'm here! I'm a single Latter-day Saint committed to living the seasons of my life for the purpose they are there for.
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Emily, and I am from a tiny church ward in middle Georgia. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and I love life! No, seriously, I LOVE life.
I'm a college student, a young single adult, and I want you to share this honest journey with me through the ups-and-downs of singleness. I can't guarantee you will not have hardships in your life, and I can't guarantee every single moment will be pure joy...actually, back up..I KNOW that won't be the case. But, so is the case of life, and it is our calling to rise to the occasion. I quote Elder M. Russell Ballard, "Make the decision to do what Jesus Christ has asked you to do.", and this most likely will not be easy to do as we get to know each other better! I have struggles just like you, but the fruit of our trials and struggles are entirely up to us! This blog is the fruit of a very heartbreaking struggle of mine, and I hope to only help and alleviate the loneliness that accompanies this season in life...but good news sisters! It does not have to be that way!! Let's focus on running our cups over, not letting them sit half empty! Grab your scriptures and journals ladies!!!(and...erm...gentleman if you are out there) Are you ready? Let's go!
You SERIOUSLY NEED TO KEEP WRITING. One, because you are VERY good at it and it's refreshing and uplifting for me to read. And 2, you aren't done living you're single life yet and there are a lot of girls... Just like you... Heartbroken and humbled... Who will stumble over this blog in the years to come and think of how it will bless and uplift them to know that you survives being "thrown away". Heck, not just survived, THRIVED!
