Cherished & Chosen: A 7-Day Challenge for Single WomenSample

DAY 3: TRIUMPHS

Celebrating our accomplishments as single women is a powerful way to acknowledge our growth and resilience. Too often, society emphasizes relationship milestones more than personal achievements, but each accomplishment is a testament to our hard work, determination, and faith. Whether it’s a career milestone, a health goal, or a personal breakthrough, every achievement deserves a celebration. Recognizing our successes builds confidence and reminds us of our capabilities, especially when we feel discouraged or uncertain. It’s a moment to thank God for how far we’ve come and for the strength He’s given us to pursue our goals.

Deborah was a prophetess, judge, and leader in Israel. People constantly sought her advice. God blessed her with the knowledge she needed to help guide Barak and the Israelites into victory against the oppressive Canaanite king, Jabin, and his army commander, Sisera. After their victory, Deborah wrote a song praising God, called the "Song of Deborah" (Judges 5).

Examples such as Deborah’s confirm that celebrating our accomplishments reinforces our sense of purpose and fuels our motivation for the future. Each celebration, no matter how small, helps us stay focused and optimistic about our path, giving us a chance to reflect on what we’ve learned. When we celebrate, we create space to share our joy, allowing our achievements to inspire and encourage those around us. Embracing our successes reminds us that we’re living meaningful lives.
