The following is a guest post by Michaela Hi everyone! It’s Michaela again! I’m glad to be back, and I’m excited to tell you more about how I make it in a long distance relationship! Today I’m going to let you in on the pros and cons I’ve experienced in an LDR. As with anything you can experience in life, there are always things that are good and bad. There are things about a long distance relationship that are great, but… Read more »
Hello! I’m Rachel, and I am a jr high/high school music teacher living in Kansas. I’m Catholic and 33 years old. In my spare time I enjoy reading, baking, spending time with friends and family (especially my nieces), and being crafty. Even though I’m not a huge fan of flying, I absolutely love to travel. What’s your singleness story? Well, like a lot of people, once I graduated from high school, I thought that I would go to college, meet… Read more »
I took a yoga class this semester for my PE credit. Oh my goodness, I think I’ve found a form of exercise that I actually enjoy! I love how yoga works out your whole body and you get your heart pumping… but without running! Kara doesn’t run. (I think the last time I ran was this one time seven months ago when I was babysitting for a family and their dogs got loose and I had to chase them through… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Emily Anne of The Kindred Spirits blog I never dated in high school. And I never dated in college. I had very little desire to pursue dating during those seasons of my life. In fact, I had become quite the relationship cynic. And I’m not just talking about romantic relationships. I’m talking relationships in general. Even friendships. Any sort of connection was scary. I felt I had been burned too many times. While attending… Read more »
Hi there! My name is Rea, I am 25 years old, and I’m the youngest of five kids! I live in Tennessee with my mom, dad, and my grandmother. I love writing, Photoshop design, web design, blogging, but mostly I love music. At the moment, I help my aunt and my mother deliver newspapers, but I dream to be a musician someday; a country musician at that. I sing, write songs, and I’m learning to play the guitar. What’s your… Read more »
Hey friends! I’ve been wanting to participate in the #FiveMinuteFriday link up for a while, but my Fridays have been crazy (and I mean, cray to the zee!) so I haven’t gotten to yet. So today, I’m delighted to take part in this fun challenge, to write for five minutes on this one word prompt: Embrace. This is a free write challenge, so there’s no editing or revision or rewording. Just my thoughts straight from my heart :) If you’d… Read more »
I don’t want to be a Debbie-Downer in this post, nor do I want you to think that from the title of this post. It’s just that I’ve shared the 7 best things about singleness before, but I haven’t really touched on the worst thing. And it’s not even as if I’m making some huge announcement or something. “This is the worst part of singleness! Beware!” Nope. Because you probably already know what the worst part of singleness is. For… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Kristen of kristenshane.com For the past three years, I’ve been writing to someone I’ve never met. Sounds crazy, right? But what’s even crazier is that eventually, that person won’t be a stranger at all, but (God-willing) my best friend, the love of my life, and the dad to my future kiddos. Since we’ll share so much of our lives together, it’s not so crazy that I’d want to start thinking about and praying for… Read more »
My name is Taylor Alexander and I am 25. I am currently a law student, but I also work part-time tutoring middle school students. I enjoy reading, writing, dancing, singing, and watching television whenever I get the time. What’s your singleness story? I have been single for approximately five years. Throughout these years, I have gone back and forth with God. One day, I’m completely surrendered and the next day, I’ve “given up” because I’ve allowed worry and fear rule…. Read more »
Have you ever faced peer pressure to get a boyfriend? I sure have… It was the spring semester of my freshman year of college. My (then) roommate had been happily dating her boyfriend (now husband) for about 2.5 months. And like any friend who was falling in love, she wanted me to be happily in a relationship as well. One of my guy friends and I were mutually “in like,” and we both knew that someday we would probably date…. Read more »
