135. Single Women, Fight For Your Grief But Don't Stay There

Rebekah's Website Book a Christian Life Coaching Discovery Call Let's kick off our August Theme: Singleness with a heart-level, somewhat confrontational challenge from Rebekah to accept your singleness by allowing yourself to grieve. The church will not give this to you, friends, you will have to fight for it. In order to mourn, you will have to acknowledge the reality of loss, really name it. This will be hard but it's the gateway to healing, a deeper faith, and accepting the reality that God has for you. So grieve...but also, there comes a time when you must arise and embrace the new land that God has for - this idea is taken from Joshua Chapter 1, when God allows His people to grieve but tells them to move on and take the promised land. To all my single friends, divorced, widowed, single-never-been-married... you will have to fight the church to have your grief. But you will also have to Satan to not stay there and give into self-pity.
