I'm sure we all imagined meeting the love of your life in our 20s and building a life together filled with memorable moments over the course of decades together.  For Jennifer Nix, that dream would be deferred when she became a widow after just a few years being married to her college sweetheart.  Through her testimony she shares the importance of: Soul Care - taking time to address the wounds of our souls even when it fees like we should be caring for those around us. Community Matters - healing cannot be done in isolation. We need each other and the help of training professionals that lead us in the way of the Master.  God is at work especially when it hurts, but the word of God tells us that He is close to the brokenhearted.

It actually comes across as a backhanded compliment, but I had to stop and investigate why it impacted me this way.  There is nothing that irritates me more,  than when someone makes assumptions about who I am and my motives behind my relationship status. so, instead of getting caught up in my feelings and allowing my flesh to prevail, i had to step back, take a deep breath and think....

In an Article on Marriage Today entitled “Ten Marriage Decisions to Make Today”, Pastor Jimmie Evans  writes “Did you know 86 percent of divorces are the result of what researchers call “non-severe circumstances”? That means the marriage-ending circumstances are not related to severe problems like abuse, abandonment or adultery. Instead, they are because of fights about money, kids, sex and other emotional issues.These are emotional decisions. They happen in the heat of the moment.” Then he asks this powerful question:  So, how can you keep emotions from impacting the health of your marriage?  While we are not married, the way we steward our single season impacts not only our romantic lives,  but our life in eternity!

I’m often asked, what makes a single seasoned? You  are not a Seasoned Single just because you happen to be old and single.  And  Contrary to popular belief we are not seasoned b/c we are salty that we’re not married yet. It’s so much more than that.    According to the Oxford Dictionary, Seasoned is defined as "having a lot of experience doing something, therefore, knowing how to do it well." When I took at these identifying marks, I think of many faithful women and men in the church I grew up in who served God so faithfully in spite of being single. I’ve identified  4 Marks of a Seasoned Single that i want to share with you so that we can take our , so let’s dive in! 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year….. Well, at least for most folks. For the seasoned single, this is a season filled with: engagement announcements    Picture perfect families on Christmas cards sending Christmas greetings endless commercials of successful marriage connections resulting from online dating apps  the dread of going home for the holidays to be greeted by the barrage of relationship status questions and conversations  In this episode we'll talk holiday survival, family dynamics and the power of community!  In the meantime, let's keep the conversation going on Instagram, facebook @TheSeasonedSingle and theseasonedsingle.com.  For questions or comments, contact Angela Hines at info@theseasonedsingle.com
