3 Valentine’s Day dates for the single Christian

In this blog were going to talk about 3 Valentine’s Day dates for the single Christian. This may be another year single on Valentines Day but that doesn’t mean it should be spent in sorrow.

Before we jump into it I want to talk about the posture of our hearts. It will be impossible to find any joy in any of these solo Valentine’s Day dates if our hearts are not postured in Gods will for our lives.

In my last blog I spoke about how singleness is a gift, if you have not read it I recommend you do.

The world has taught us that we should be sad if your single on Valentine’s Day. Christ has taught us that fulfillment does not come from the things of the world, but in he who has overcome the world.

Remember this Valentines Day that although you may feel alone, you are truly not alone. God is always with us ready to comfort us.

I’m here for you too Queen! So lets turn our frowns upside down and get excited because this Valentines Day is going to be wonderful .

Let’s dive right in!

3 Valentine’s Day dates ideas for the single Christian

1. Coffee/lunch/ dinner date

Coming in hot with number one, with a special of not 1 but a 3 in one.- hehe!

Okay transparency moment some people are naturals at going out on their own. For me I struggled and it took time and practice going out alone.

Honestly what better way to do things differently this year then to break out of your shell and be spontaneous!

Singleness is a time of preparation for our future relationship, and so what you do in the preparation will set a foundation for your future.

Coffee date – choose a café that you know, or maybe there is one that you always see but have been too shy to check it out. This is a perfect moment to try something new, bring a book or something that will entertain you on this date, for some life may sometimes be so loud you might need to do the opposite leave everything behind and clear your mind.

Lunch and dinner falls right under the same boat in the end it is all the same, but the purpose is simply to love your self on this Valentines Day date as a single Christian.

Treat yourself with your favorite thing on the menu, like I said you’re not alone! Invite God into these moments.

Singleness is a time to deepen our relationship with God, he cares about our feelings and desires! Use this time to share an intimate moment with the Lord.

Present to him any area in which you are struggling in on this Valentine’s Day and allow him to work in you.

Allowing God to work, allows us to see things from his perspective which is always the right way and will help us overcome the temptations of our flesh and the world.

2. Galentines Day

Next, celebrate Galantines Day!!!

Surrounding yourself with other ladies that share the same goal as you is in my opinion one of the best!

It’s a fun way to celebrate love in general in good company, forget your worries and struggles and just breathe.

The people we spend our time with is so important and sometimes it can either make us or break us.

Now if you do not have close friends lets not make that an excuse and hide in our lonely world.

Spend time with your church community! Fellowship is so important specially when your walking this walk in christ that often times isn’t easy.

Being around your church community will keep you in the state of love and peace.

Also fellowship does not have to just be your church there are plenty of online women’s communities to join that have tons of fun things to do and women that empower each-other.

If you are the Christian girl struggling with being alone this Valentine Day fellowship will be your greatest friend.

So remember lets be spontaneous and take those leaps of faith!

3. Self Care

Now I must say this is my favorite one! Oh sweet self care how much I adore you specially in this season of singleness!

Say it with me ladies “Self care is the best care”!

Truly what I have enjoyed the most in my singleness season has been discovering all the relaxing things that make me feel good.

The reality is most women are always taking care of someone else except themselves, wether you’re a mother, daughter, sister, friend.

Our natural nature is to nurture but that often comes at the cost of our own needs!

So this Valentines Day be intentional with taking care of yourself, give yourself the love your looking for!

This one is definitely my go to this year, a nice bubble bath with a bath and body candle, lights off, soft music in the background and maybe a book, I might just even bring in the iPad and watch a cheesy romance movie.

Oh and don’t forget the face mask!

At the end of the day its all about what you love to do, instead of focusing on what you don’t have, focus on what you do have.

Learn to love yourself because honestly we cant expect to be loved if we do not know what love is, and love begins within.
