Are you itching to get a ring? Singleness can be hard, and in this clip, the focus is on a universal question that echoes in the hearts of many: How to be happy even when you’re single, especially in a world where your peers are marching down the aisle or cradling newborns.

Brittany’s heartfelt dilemma sets the stage – at 35 and single, she feels overshadowed by her more “successful” sister and wonders how to find joy amidst the perceived setbacks of singleness.

Timely advice? It’s all about a seismic shift in perspective! 🌟 The key lies in detaching happiness from marital status. Are you trailing a path defined by societal norms, or are you dancing to the rhythm of God’s plan for you?

Timmerie, sharing her own journey of longing and waiting, emphasizes that happiness isn’t a commodity traded for a ring or a baby stroller. Instead, it’s about flourishing in your current season of life. It’s about asking, “Am I living in a state of grace? Am I tuning into God’s frequency?” 🙏

Take Timmerie’s friend, for instance – a mid-30s teacher who transformed her life not by changing her relationship status, but by pursuing personal growth and career fulfillment. She got her master’s, shifted her location, and even bought a house!  💪

Being single isn’t a waiting room for marriage. It’s a vibrant, dynamic state full of possibilities. It’s about embracing where you are and finding projects that ignite your passion.

And most importantly, it’s about learning to celebrate others’ happiness while nurturing your own. It’s not about ruminating on what you lack, but about rejoicing in the unique story God is writing for you.

So, if you’re riding solo and feeling a bit adrift, remember: Your life is not a “missed connection” – it’s a grand adventure waiting to be embraced with open arms and a joyful heart! ✨

Remember, as Timmerie wonderfully puts it, every season is a time to find joy, regardless of your state in life.
