I posted on my IG/FB on Saturday night about my wonderful night of being stood up. I’m going to share the post here too since I had a lot of great responses to it. Hopefully it helps you out 🙂 Read below [taken from my IG account @zeninez84]:

I was stood up tonight, and I’m completely OK! I decided to say yes to meet someone tonight. I don’t know when I’ll be free again because I work 7 days a week, so I was OK with giving up a free Saturday night for this. It’s been 6 years… and I told myself I would be open to dating this year.
As soon as I messaged the guy that I had parked, he disappeared from the app. I thought, “He’s not going to show up and I’m going to be sitting alone.” I got out of my car anyway and walked into the building, grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered my old fashioned and bacon burger. I occasionally looked outside in case he was still coming. But, he didn’t show up.

The temptation to cry and have a pity party was there and I could feel the justification to do so welling up inside of me. I quickly interrupted those thoughts with truth. I may have felt rejected and stupid, but I don’t live and respond based off of my “feelings” ..I live and respond and operate based off what I KNOW. I KNOW I am a daughter of the MOST HIGH KING. I know that I am LOVED by God far greater than I could ever comprehend. I have confidence because God affirms me, not a guy. God is my source of love, joy, peace etc. HE satisfies EVERY NEED.
Here’s why I’m OK. I know God has the right guy for me at the right time who will blow away my expectations. I may have felt sorry for myself for a moment but I couldn’t let it last, I know better. WAY BETTER!! I am TOO AMAZING to think little of myself or throw a pity party.

Shout out to the guy that stood me up! Because of you… tonight I discovered that I’m a lot stronger than I realize.
I’m not a sad, 33yr old, single… I’m a happy single! Tonight was another night to continue to be happy knowing God is creating my story with someone. It won’t be forced or orchestrated by me. God knows what he’s doing and who he’s bringing. I’m sharing this in case it helps anyone. God hasn’t forgotten you, be patient. Trust Him!
ps. Shout out to Pastor Keira who has always spoken words over me that have strengthened me and reminded me where my identity is. Your voice was in my head tonight as I felt tempted to cry but didn’t. I love you!! I enjoyed my night anyway 😁

There you have it! I’m currently working on a blog post that will be all about the single topic. I think I will call it “Why being single doesn’t suck” 🙂 stay tuned and thank you for taking time to read this 🙂

Love Always,
