PREACHHHHHH - I'm about to be 30 in August... no boyfriend or husband in sight... AND I am having a blasttttttt. Just got back from 3 weeks in Greece and London!! I run my own company... travel doing my music... I love my life! God has done so much through and in me.. I know my husband will come when He wants him to... In the meantime, it's all about Jesus -- getting to know Him, learning about myself in relation to Him, and preparing my heart for what's to come!
I’m 23. I just graduated college and got a Preschool teaching position. I am also getting in shape for myself. I’m single and everyone around me is getting married or in relationships. I am done waiting and I’m going to live, God will bring me my husband at the right time.
As a single 31 year old gone through a test from God of 6 years now, waiting for the one he has for me it has been a battle of the flesh vs. spirit. It is loving God first before any man. I was single all my 20s and God already prepared me and changed me for my husband and how I can put others first and serve at a homeless shelter while waiting for his promise. It is still hard some days but I know HE is faithful and I can't wait to be married, but until then I can bless others, praise and honor him for all the blessings coming my way.
"I didn't get married until I was 26." This. I needed to hear that today. I am usually the one worrying about the future regarding a romantic relationship and God's plan for my life in general, but God has been giving me so much peace lately, He has been sending people and creating moments to cheer me up and have hope, your channel and We Are the Brave have been a part of this. Thank you, thank you! God bless you.❤️
Thank you, Emily. I had a friend who seriously thought she needed a boyfriend in order to be truly happy. Unfortunately, that led her down a road of hurt, unfulfillment, and her temporarily getting derailed from her education. I have been single for almost three years now and have LOVED it. Sure, I think it'd be nice to have a boyfriend and get married one day, but in the mean time, I have gone on three solo cross country trips, made several new friends, got a new job in Utah, experienced living on my own, sang at Masses, directed my church's youth chorus for two years, and just enjoyed this time for myself.
Tbh, I think it's easy to do things. To take classes, to go somewhere etc. What's difficult is trying to avoid thinking about feeling that tangible love, to have children etc
So true!! It doesn't/shouldn't take that much work to start doing activities or things you want to try just because you are not in a relationship. The challenge is our thoughts as well as our environments that promote "being married is everything".
As a guy watching, I’m actively looking and waiting for whomever God is calling me towards while also working on becoming the best guy I can become. I hope I find her soon! 🙂
i dont know if people realize how important this message is. we should be developing our relationship with Christ which will in return develop who we are as daughters of the King.
I have been trying to live instead of wait but it has been hard and the truth is that all my financial goals, career goals, etc. can sometimes start to feel like a distraction. you think to yourself, "why am i not good enough for love" or "why is it that i am 26 going on 27 and still no sign of anything"? being strong and going through life by yourself all of the time is not as simple as people are making it out to be. but i will continue to try and just live and not think about this topic too much so i can keep my heart from feeling too heavy!
You say so many people tell you it’s easy for you to say, but the best advice on relationships comes from people who do have relationships! You inspire and encourage me. It’s hard to find good advice as well as good Catholic women these days. Thank you so much! ❤️
I find that these sort of talks about not living in the waiting for room for Mr Right is one of the things the church gets wrong about singleness. Most of the Christian single women I know have not been putting their lives on hold. They have been living very full lives from travelling to getting ahead in their careers but have still not met the potential spouse yet. At the end of the day there is still a God given longing that women have for a husband, that has nothing to do with really just a longing for God that the church keeps telling us singles about. As a church we need to have more honest real conversations about the hardship and griefs that can come from prolonged singleness.
This is what I'm talking about. I always hear God talking to me about what he has in store for me. I've heard him talk about marriage and I'm only 16. I'm very watchful when he says this because it's easy to sit around looking forward to the day of marriage. I do not put my joy and satisfaction into what he says about marriage because at the end of the day God IS my satisfaction. I always tell God that rather I get married or not, I'll have all I need in him.
Another great thing about living instead of waiting: instead of waiting for mister right to knock on your door you may even meet him while you're fulfilling one of your dreams! Great video Emily, I am so glad you made it! 😍
This is the most eloquent explanation I’ve ever heard about season of waiting. I cannot agree more. Live your life to the fullest while waiting that you forget you are actually waiting.
This is soooo important. For so many years I did almost nothing, because I was just waiting for "him" to come along and then I would be able to achieve my dreams. I'm still trying to learn about myself and discover what brings me joy. And honestly I'm glad that I didn't get married when I was younger because being single has given me so much confidence in my ability to do things for myself. So now my focus is more on living my best life, and if someone else comes along to share in that adventure, great.
Literally 12 hours after I decided to stop waiting and start living I met him! Soon after, I found out that Gods plan for my life and for my future & future spouse had been unfolding my entire life, not just after I met him!
Amen!! I’ve recently read a book called “7 Myths About Singleness” by Sam Allberry. It’s very good! One of the things he says is that if you think about statistics it’s possible that you will spend more years of your life as a single person than married. Eg if you marry at 25 and your spouse dies when you’re 65 and you don’t remarry and then you die at 90, that’s 50 yrs single and 30 yrs married. Despite how much of a pedestal marriage gets put on, the many of us will spend more years single so it’s best to get good at living in that state. Ps: The hat is AWESOME!
This was definitely something I needed to hear👏🏾 I'm turning 16 and I'll be allowed to date within our fellowship. Some of my friends are Christian dating guys and one of them is engaged. I used to feel discouraged about it, but I'm still young and have to live out my single life to the fullest. 💕 Thank you so much, God bless you☺
Mistress Moon God bless you!! That is such a legitimate desire in our hearts, I remember that desire aching in me at that age too, but you have so much to grow and live. Thanks for sharing sister!! 💖
Amazing! One of your best videos ❤️ I just turned 24 now and everyone is asking me to get married. I really feel like I’m still young. I’ve got tons to do, accomplish and just like your travel for fun as well. Thank Emily for reminding me to live my beautiful, bold life for a Christ.
I think what would be really helpful would be if one of your single friends came on one of your videos to talk about these topics. It would be great to see the point of view of someone living the single life.
I am 31 years... I was serially dating men until 6 months ago... when I took a break from work.. traveled .. and introspected .. I am now working and talking to people about my faith... I am discerning my life goals..
Emily, I watched this despite feeling called to religious life. I thought, “Ya know, I shouldn’t watch this. It doesn’t apply to me right now” because you’re only supposed to discern one vocation at a time. But oh boy was I wrong! Everyone needs to hear this, regardless of their vocation. We can’t sit around and wait. As my vocation director says, the only place you can meet Jesus is the present moment. I’m attending four years of college at the recommendation of my vocation director (and my own hesitance to take the leap into religious life), and I need to think of this part of my life as my life, not a waiting period until my vocation is revealed. Thank you for the beautiful reminder!
Ohmygosh thank you so much for sharing this!! On summer break after my first year of college, its been a challenge for me to not fall into a rut and I have certainly been "waiting" rather than "living." Listening to you speak about this reminded me of what I want to pursue and accomplish, things I can began doing in the here and now. Im always inspired by the encouraging, beautiful messages you share Emily!!
Beautiful video Emily! Thank you! As someone a few years older than Emily and single, I actually think it’s easy to say “easy for her to say”, because this can be applied to ANYTHING in life (not just marriage). A man, a job, another child or a difficult season of life. No matter where we’re at, we all need to LIVE in our own way, the best we can!
You can still get stuck waiting even in a relationship. I was able to live again AFTER I got out of my last relationship. Being single can be truly freeing.
Ahhh, Amen Sister!!! About a year ago I decided my life has started. :) And life has so much more fun because I am LIVING!! Whoot! Contentment is real in Christ whether married or single.
This is pure providence. I am going through not the easiest time regarding my love life right now, and as always God is guiding me and showing me what He wants me to know. One of the tools He used was this video. Praise the Lord. God will not always tell you what you want to hear, because He loves you so much and He knows that what you want is not always the best for you. Please, if you’ve watched Emily’s video, read as well Luke: 12 (I recommend the NIV version). God cares for you and He will provide what’s best for you if you leave it all in His hands. Amen, Hallelujah. ❤️
Love this video! I've pretty much been waiting my whole life and not living thinking that my Mr Right will make me happy! Time to start being happy and living my life! ❤️👌
So good! God can’t move your mountains if you’re not walking toward them, and if someone isn’t happy while also being single, that unhappiness won’t go away just because they enter a relationship
Thank you for the video, I am 30 years old and still single. People are pressuring me to marry but I haven’t meet the right man. I got frustrated but thank you for this video because I am enlightened. I choose to live than to wait. Thank you vey much.
Thanks for this encouragement I agree no one has ever died of celibacy I'm gonna live my best life for God let me find my husband find me in service for God.
Need this. Thank you. I'm almost 19 and never had a boyfriend. Surrounded by friends who are in relationships and it does make me sad sometimes that I dont have anyone special in my life. For so long, my thoughts were constantly about finding the right guy. But I need to live and spend time focusing on doing what I love and the right guy will come along in God's timing
I have been struggling with this mindset for the longest time, and didn’t even realize till a few months ago that it was a problem. Thank you for talking about this topic, I really needed to hear it. Also, your videos are wonderful and I hope you are having a fantastic day!
Live life beautifully with a spirit of boldness, because my beauty will never be defined by any circumstance. It’s intrinsic to who I am. I desperately needed this, thank you so so much Emily!❤️
Kinda needed this. Like it’s been on my mind that my life doesn’t just begin when something happens but I feel like a lot of people do think that. But thank you for your wisdom. Let all live!!
Very well said! I feel like many people put their lives on hold in hopes that they will meet someone, rather than being proactive. Sometimes being proactive and enjoying a life full of joy and adventure can be just what you're supposed to be doing. Woo knows? Maybe you've missed an opportunity to meet the one that God has in store for you by sitting around being complacent. I had no life for a handful of years and decided to get back into mountaineering and it sure kept my mind off of pining for a relationship. Backpacking also gave my life more meaning!
that's what I needed to hear, now I've got an idea for my next step, piano lessons! thanks Emily! As always You've crushed it sending me some sunlight, thanks!
Amen❤❤ Beautifully said. You are an inspiration to us to live gods call every single day of our lives.. no matter what the path .. no matter how different it is.. no matter what.. Its a beautiful life once you start having peace with yourself and enjoy it gracefully..
I was once told that my life could end tomorrow if that was God's will for me (which we don't know for certain) and that it'd be perfectly and totally ok, that means I'm complete as a human, as a person, just as I am, not because of what I have or what I've accomplished but because of Him who loves me and gives me my dignity and worth. That changed my perspective on things tremendously, I still struggle with "waiting" and I sometimes find myself doing that instead of living to the fullest of my potential and taking full advantage of the time I'm given, but I remind myself of this I learned once and the Lord, in His faithfulness does that as well, like through videos like this one.
Great video! I know too many women who are downright depressed and serial dating in a desperate attempt to find a partner because they feel like their life is somehow incomplete if they're single and over 30 which is complete nonsense. Even God says that both singleness and marriage are equally good. In addition, there so many things that you can do when you are single that are more difficult to do after you are married and have small children and your time is no longer yours alone.
I love that hat on you! Thanks for the video I fully agree! I've been really learning how to be satisfied in the Lord. My future boyfriend/husband will just be another person, another relationship that will have its ups and downs, God will always be here and always have exactly what I need. Being in a relationship will not save me but Jesus does every day! I'm excited to meet someone I can serve and live for God with but until then I will do it on my own! Thanks for all you do Emily!
Living is a hard thing to do when everything I want to do costs money or is too far away or I don’t have time. I can’t help but look to the future when it seems so big and full of options when today seems slow and short of options. 🤷🏻♀️
Emily, this was such a great video! God has showed me how much joy there is in being single. God has so much in store for us, and there's nothing to wait for, really! Having a desire for a relationship is great, but our time is now to live, the possibilities are endless. Thanks for uploading this video!
The hat looks great , Yes a bunch of bologna , my life is happening now . Great reminder . It’s good to hear that I’m not the only one who struggles with this. Sometimes I can feel so alone . Get out there and live everybody !!!!! Thank you for all the words in this video , I’m going to go live a big bold beautiful life !!!! No more waiting , only living ! 💪😎 Great reminder to work on becoming the best version of ourselves for us not a future spouse.
I agree. I thought, @ 30 sonething, that if I was married and had a child my life would be full. I ignored things I was doing for me before I got married because I assumed marriage and children would fulfill me. As a divorced woman, I now see that my life isn't about my husband and child. Yes, I enjoyed being married and if that is Heavenly Father's plan for me wonderful. But I see that feeding me helps and I work hard at living my life while I wait for that spouse from God. I also see that I will be more ready for the quality relationship with a Godly man that I desire.
That hat looks so chic on you! (: I'm traveling next Monday on a road trip to Oklahoma! My friend lives over there and can't wait to see her. This message is beautifully said. It's easy to catch up on worrying about our future and the phrase of "getting behind" at a certain age. But I try not to give into that because the future is unknown and only our Lord knows it. May everyone blissfully live each day as our last, just as Emily stated. So motivating and full of God's love. I certainly see it. Thank you and God bless always!! (:
Married or not the goal is the same...glorify God. Nothing else matters guys. A spouse will never fulfill you only God can.

I needed this more than anything today. Thank you always for your amazing videos and their messages ❤️
You ALWAYS put out a video with exactly what I need to hear, when I need it.
Thank you for the video, I am 30 years old and still single. People are pressuring me to marry but I haven’t meet the right man. I got frustrated but thank you for this video because I am enlightened. I choose to live than to wait. Thank you vey much.

It is hard to not have what you desire. Give all your desires to God, and persevere!
I have been struggling with this mindset for the longest time, and didn’t even realize till a few months ago that it was a problem. Thank you for talking about this topic, I really needed to hear it. Also, your videos are wonderful and I hope you are having a fantastic day!
Thank you so much for posting this video.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours EVER!! Such pure truth. Everyone needs to know this.
All I can say is thank you for always being a blessing to me 🙏🏽
This is so empowering! There is so much more to life than relationships. ❤
wow, i’m astonished at how timely this video is for me. something to think about. thank you so much for this!
Oh thank you for this!!!🙌 Said so well.
Wow God really showed me that I was really waiting and not living. Thank you so much. Please pray that I have the mindset of living for God!!
Speaking to my soul! Thank you!
Thank you for making this video. It came at just the right time ❤️
JUST what I needed to hear Emily. Thank you!!!💗
YOU PREACHIN REAL GOOD SIS!!!!!! SO INSPIRING!
Live life beautifully with a spirit of boldness, because my beauty will never be defined by any circumstance. It’s intrinsic to who I am. I desperately needed this, thank you so so much Emily!❤️

Beautifully said. You are an inspiration to us to live gods call every single day of our lives.. no matter what the path .. no matter how different it is.. no matter what..
Its a beautiful life once you start having peace with yourself and enjoy it gracefully..
This is SO true! We're going to miss you so much at Steubie West, Emily!

AMAZing! Such an amazing message that every single person needs to hear!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ such a great video!
Everything you said in this video is what i need now!! Thanks for being a blessing to me today. Godbless 💜
I was once told that my life could end tomorrow if that was God's will for me (which we don't know for certain) and that it'd be perfectly and totally ok, that means I'm complete as a human, as a person, just as I am, not because of what I have or what I've accomplished but because of Him who loves me and gives me my dignity and worth. That changed my perspective on things tremendously, I still struggle with "waiting" and I sometimes find myself doing that instead of living to the fullest of my potential and taking full advantage of the time I'm given, but I remind myself of this I learned once and the Lord, in His faithfulness does that as well, like through videos like this one.
Thank you so much Emily! I'm from Argentina and started following you few months ago.
Thank you Emilyyyy. I just love your videos so much. They lift me up. Also, you're so gorgeous.
Wow!!! Thank you so much for the great reminder Emily! You're the best! God bless
Thank you so much for this vid. This is what I need to hear now ❤️😊😊
Thx Emily! I really needed this! I struggled with exactly this problem for such a long time!
Great video! I know too many women who are downright depressed and serial dating in a desperate attempt to find a partner because they feel like their life is somehow incomplete if they're single and over 30 which is complete nonsense. Even God says that both singleness and marriage are equally good. In addition, there so many things that you can do when you are single that are more difficult to do after you are married and have small children and your time is no longer yours alone.
I love that hat on you! Thanks for the video I fully agree! I've been really learning how to be satisfied in the Lord. My future boyfriend/husband will just be another person, another relationship that will have its ups and downs, God will always be here and always have exactly what I need. Being in a relationship will not save me but Jesus does every day! I'm excited to meet someone I can serve and live for God with but until then I will do it on my own! Thanks for all you do Emily!
This is BEAUTIFUL!! Thank You Emily!! ❤❤❤
Loving the hut. Thanks for the video.God bless you
Living is a hard thing to do when everything I want to do costs money or is too far away or I don’t have time. I can’t help but look to the future when it seems so big and full of options when today seems slow and short of options. 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks Emily, this is so thoughtful of you!!
Thanks, Emily. This was awesome!
Needed this so much!
The way i smile when I see u video ...woo wooh
Incredible words. Thank you so much!!
This is perfect, thank you so much! ❤️
Great video Emily!!! Im going to sharing this video with all my single female friends. You're making a difference out here... thanks!
Emily, this was such a great video! God has showed me how much joy there is in being single. God has so much in store for us, and there's nothing to wait for, really! Having a desire for a relationship is great, but our time is now to live, the possibilities are endless. Thanks for uploading this video!
The hat looks great ,
Yes a bunch of bologna , my life is happening now . Great reminder . It’s good to hear that I’m not the only one who struggles with this. Sometimes I can feel so alone . Get out there and live everybody !!!!!
Thank you for all the words in this video , I’m going to go live a big bold beautiful life !!!! No more waiting , only living ! 💪😎
Great reminder to work on becoming the best version of ourselves for us not a future spouse.
I agree. I thought, @ 30 sonething, that if I was married and had a child my life would be full. I ignored things I was doing for me before I got married because I assumed marriage and children would fulfill me. As a divorced woman, I now see that my life isn't about my husband and child. Yes, I enjoyed being married and if that is Heavenly Father's plan for me wonderful. But I see that feeding me helps and I work hard at living my life while I wait for that spouse from God. I also see that I will be more ready for the quality relationship with a Godly man that I desire.
Great video Emily!❤️
Wooow this is a powerful video.. thank you
I am so inspired! Thank you, Emily!!
The hat is SUPER cute!!
Your hat is so cute!! And excellent advice! ☺️
That hat looks so chic on you! (: I'm traveling next Monday on a road trip to Oklahoma! My friend lives over there and can't wait to see her.
This message is beautifully said. It's easy to catch up on worrying about our future and the phrase of "getting behind" at a certain age. But I try not to give into that because the future is unknown and only our Lord knows it. May everyone blissfully live each day as our last, just as Emily stated. So motivating and full of God's love. I certainly see it. Thank you and God bless always!! (:
