Spoiler Alert... This is not the end.

"Through all of this chaos, you were writing a symphony"

You read that title! I accidentally ruined how this season will end for you...oops. But we ain't sorry here, this is good news! This is not the end. 

You're probably asking, Rithika, why do you keep saying that? What is not the end?

What if I told you that the chaos in your season right now is not how your story ends. 

Yesterday night I lit a candle and my light-up "dream" sign and proceeded into my night routine with Jesus. He specifically reminded me of this point in particular: God wrote about my life before I was even born, He created my story. And right now, I am currently in the unfolding of it all. 

I held that thought and tried to connect it with where I currently am, as well as some of my family members. To be completely honest, it seems like we are in a never ending circumstance. Sometimes I wonder if this is all it's going to be. Is our season really going to end like this? End never really fixed at all? Is the chaos I'm seeing only going to get worse? It seems like I'm stuck here. But God wrote the end, and the ending of the story is good. May I never forget that I am on the victorious side, and death will never ever triumph (yet, has already been defeated). I believe that no matter what chaos I'm seeing in my season right now, I WILL see the goodness of God in the land of the living. Not just in heaven, but here on earth! And that my friend, applies to your life as well.

"I remain confident of this.

I will see the goodness of the Lord

in the land of the living."

Psalm 27:13

Dare to say it to yourself right now "This is not how my story will end". How do I know? Well Philippians 1:6 says God will finish the good work in which he started! That's good news guys. That's enough to kick fear and hopelessness in the shin. God. Will. Finish. What. He. Started. in you, your family, and your calling.

I'm just going to throw this random question out there. Have you ever been close to believing or believed that there is no one out there for you? It's almost like you're scared that you won't be able to experience that movie-magic kinda fairytale where the perfect guy of all your expectations even exists. That randomly crossing paths exists. You start to believe that your best days are behind you. 

But can I just suggest that just because your season of singleness seems super prolonging, that it's not always going to be that way forever? That the longevity of the wait and the multiple times your relationships have failed does not mean that you will never enter a season, which I firmly believe God will place you in, that someone comes to you exceeding all you've hoped and prayed for. I know God has that in store for you, because He delights in you and loves you. You are the apple of His eye. He put that desire in you for a reason! It's not there for nothing. It's not just there so He won't tend to it.

I want you to take a moment and pause. Rest in this verse and meditate on it:

How abundant are the good things
that you have stored up for those who fear you,
that you bestow in the sight of all,
on those who take refuge in you

Psalm 31:19

Say to your season of singleness, "This is not the end of my story! God's not done with me yet!"

I just want you to remember that everything you're going through now is indeed part of God's great big plan for you... don't give up! Don't lose hope, you're almost to the good part of it all that God has promised. He is turning your chaos into a symphony. The circumstance in front of you is not how your story will end. Stay persistent, keep praying and keep your hope alive. God has greater things ahead. What differences would you start seeing if you had faith that the goodness and better days that God has promised will come to completion? :)

I love you all, and never hesitate to reach out!
