Here's why you can be hopeful
in the coming year!
We singles have hope. Don't feel like you do? December's feature article may convince you otherwise.
If you feel as if you're in a rut, if you think things haven't been going your way and you don't see any signs that they'll change, please take a few minutes to read these thoughts.
Change is possible in the coming year, so here are some tips on how to break free...
Bernie the Bachelor Elf
My name is Bernie the bachelor elf,
I live at the North Pole.
It's snug and warm in the workshop here,
but outside's freezing cold.
I've been making toys three hundred years,
Promotion is my plan.
I want to be in charge some day
and be Santa's right hand man.
Oh little folks can have big dreams.
You've got to do your part.
Just work real hard and say your prayers
and keep hope in your heart.
Keep hope in your heart.
I've got my eye on an elfin girl.
She's packed with charm and grace.
My poor heart flutters like a hummingbird
When I see her sweet face.
I gave my Suzi dear a ring,
The girl that I'm proud of.
We'll make ourselves an elfin home
in a cottage filled with love.
Oh little folks can have big dreams.
You've got to do your part.
Just work real hard and say your prayers
and keep hope in your heart.
And keep hope in your heart!

December Quoto-riffic
December's quote comes from Catherine Marshall, Christian writer and wife of the famous minister Peter Marshall:
"God is the only one who can make
the valley of trouble a door of hope."
Catherine Marshall (1914-1983)
In singleness lies frustration, but the other side of our coin is freedom. We have the opportunity to do many things married people can't. We can especially pursue an undistracted relationship with Jesus, free of the cares of married life.
When we get too weighed down by the disappointments of the single life, we must seek out those simple things that make us happy. Hope can be found in God's love, always ours in unending supply. We can turn to a single person who knows what we're going through. Nobody understands like Jesus.

I'm optimistic about the coming year. Are you? No matter what's hit you in 2009, the coming year holds hope and promise for us singletons. We have a good God who loves us and watches out for us. Even when tragedy hits, he'll stand by you and lead you through. If I hadn't experienced that in my own life as true, I wouldn't tell you to expect it. But it is true.
