Are you single? Been there for a while ? Or did you just get out of a bad relationship? Sis you're not alone. On this post I want to be openly honest and real about the test, trials and triumphs of flourishing and having faith. Lets talk the subject of being single.
In 2020 I made up in my mind to finally stop running from the call God has placed on my life and part of answering that call meant I had to disconnect a few lines of service, If you know what I mean. This included leaving a unequally yoked relationship I was in for 4 going on 5 years, leaving jobs, letting go of bad habits and people I thought were my friends even family.

When I answered the call from God, I looked around and found myself, by myself. This was challenging at first but the power of The Holy Spirit reassured me that though I was alone I did not have to live in a box believing I was lonely because I wasn't alone I was just entering into a new season. He reminded me just like He told the children of Israel on their way to the promised land in Deuteronomy 31:6 Which says "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” And truthfully this promise still stands today pertaining to you and I as believers!
"BEING SINGLE IS THE PREPARATION SEASON TO SHIFT INTO THE PROMISED LAND."
Sis I want to encourage you today that the season of being single is one of the BEST seasons to be in! This is where you get to know more about God by reading the bible, growing in His wisdom, flourishing in faith and simply appreciating His presence. This is the opportune time to accomplish goals like writing a book, starting your health & fitness journey, going to school, starting your business, Moving to a new city or home even working on your own style so much more!
Please share how God has been ministering to you in this season and what you've learned!
Until Next Time,
Flourish!


Amen Briana! Your story really resonates with me. I came out of a 7 year relationship then two months later I hopped into a relationship for a year. That just ended a couple a months ago. First time being single this long and wanting to be in 9 years. I wasn't happy about a single season. Now I am in a space where I do get lonely but I know I'm not alone. I know God has many plans He has revealed to me and I don't want to bring anyone into my life with the things I need to do and especially if I'm not and whoever God has for me is not where we need to be with…
So good and I’m married but we all go through our seasons of tests, trials, and tribulations. I really enjoyed reading this thank you Briana.
Wow sis this was SO GOOD ! Definitely in that single season , using discernment with people No matter the relationship ! . Before this season I felt being alone was being loneLY but ! the people that left had to be removed and I had to understand how to truly be alone but not literally feel as if I’m LONLEY bc I WAS NOT/ am not . Things have just been removed for my good ! Like you said to learn who I am ! As a woman of God , a mother , etc. - Lyric
