Bringing Back Virtue - Tanya Wilson
Missing Boaz
The man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called
woman, for she was taken out of man.’ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Genesis 2:23-24
At times, it’s not easy being a single person. The holidays are particularly difficult; and then there are those special events when everyone else seems to have a date—yuck! Sometimes I feel like crying out, "Lord, I am lonely, and I never wanted my life to be a solo act. Where is my Boaz?" When I look in my closet, I see more than one bridesmaid gown; but what can I do with them except stare at them? Even though I am happy for everyone else and their relationships and marriages, when I come home and I am once again by myself, those times are rough.
I once heard a preacher say, One is a whole number.
Just those five words were so freeing to me. One is a whole number, and I have purpose in my singleness. As I pray and ask the Lord for the desires of my heart, I must have faith that He hears me and that He knows what is best for me.
Most importantly, I must remember that I am special in His sight. When it is my time, He will deliver just the right Boaz into my life.
Philippians 4:6-7 reminds me, Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I must practice that.
So many of us have gotten impatient and taken matters into our own hands. I remember a dear friend of mine who followed the advice of the pundits in her life and got into online dating. She experienced one nightmarish date after the other. After each one, she and I would meet for coffee, and she would share all the gory details.
I walked away from many of her stories assured in my mind that it is better to wait on the Lord, knowing that He will always deliver in His time, not our time, what is best for our lives. Until then, it’s the single life and loving every minute of it as He prepares me for the arrival of my Boaz.
Dear Lord, comfort me in my aloneness. Help me in my human space as I struggle with all the emotions and feelings that you formed me to have. Show me the benefit of my patience in this area, and reward my commitment to wait for the king you have identified just for me. Amen.

Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12
There are times in my life when it feels as if there are not enough hours in the day. From the time I place my feet on the floor the first thing in the morning until I close my eyes at the end of the day, there is something or someone demanding my time.
I would like to be a great mother, and my children need me. I would like to be a great wife, and my husband needs me. I would like to be an outstanding employee, and my employer needs me. Then there are all the other time-stealers. Before I know it, the day is ending, and my husband and I are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to being able to spend time alone, just the two of us.
How many of us have felt that way or feel that way right now? Time is so important, and
