The Life of a Complete Single

By K. Michelle Thompson

The purpose of this book is to encourage singles as they wait on the Lord to send His chosen mate for their lives and to inspire those who feel incomplete in their singleness.

It is my desire to help others understand that marriage does not make you complete, but as children of God, we are already complete in Christ Jesus. We are not half a person. God never made half a person; everything He makes is whole and complete.

We are single, complete people waiting on God to bring to us His complete chosen mate for our lives. Allowing God to complete us is a process.

Introduction

The Prophecy

Mom. Michelle, Michelle.

Me. Yes, ma’am?

Mom. The Lord said you’re gonna marry a preacher.

I slightly smiled, then I sat down on the commode in shock.

My mom was taking a shower when the Lord revealed this to her. It seemed like the Lord gave my mom revelations in the shower/bathroom often. I know it sounds weird, but she explained to me that the bathroom was her place where she could spend quiet time with God.

The conversation continued:

Mom. This is me…like Paul said, this speak I, not the Lord…I’m saying a pastor.

She then warned me that God also said that if I did not treat him right, He would take him from me.

At that moment, I knew it was real. I sat with mixed emotions—slightly shocked, slightly thrilled, and honored and afraid; and if I was honest, I’d have to say I was offended too. Why would God threaten to take my husband from me? Why was He picking on me? Truth is, I knew to a degree why He said the latter part. I had some things that He needed to work on before He would release His vessel to me. My mom broke it down for me. She helped me understand that God was not going to give His man of God to me if I did not treat him right. I used to have a really harsh tone, I was sarcastic, I had a guard up, and I struggled with trust issues. Not to mention I always had to have the last word. God could not release to me or would allow me to keep someone so special to him if I was going to mistreat him.

I rehearsed her words to myself, A pastor’s wife?

I thought to myself, It’s one thing to be a preacher’s wife, but it’s a whole different thing to be the pastor’s wife. God, are you sure? Do you know who I am? Me? The thoughts flooded my mind as to why would God choose me.

In all honesty, I was not completely shocked at what the Lord had revealed to my mom. At fourteen years old, I was in my room looking in the mirror; I believe I had just finished praying. I remembered seeing a few things flash before my eyes, and immediately, I knew I was going to be a leader of women. I knew I had to be an example, and I knew I was going to marry a preacher. I remembered saying, Oh my God!

There were times that I doubted the whole marrying-a-preacher thing because I thought I was in my emotions and thought that up on my own. I guess that’s why the Lord had to send confirmation to me years later.

The images that flew across my mind at fourteen shocked me as well. I saw a
