Tears stung at my eyes, threatening to spill over and run down my cheeks. I reread the email: “…I am not content I am not happy I wish I was never a Christian then I would have found a mate instead of waiting and waiting…” Oh sweet sister! I blinked back the tears. And then my sorrow turned to anger- not towards this reader, but towards our enemy who made her wish she could trade her salvation for a husband…. Read more »
Before Caleb and I started dating, I fell victim to a belief to which I fear many a single girl has subscribed. I thought my singleness was God’s way of punishing me for a weak relationship with Him. And I thought that maybe if I read my Bible every single day and prayed often and sought ways to serve Him, then God would reward me with a boyfriend. It seems silly to me, now that I’m reflecting on it. But seriously,… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Michaela So he likes you, huh? Maybe he professed his “like” for you to your face. Maybe asked you out? Or perhaps your best friend found out and just told you. Or you found out through your friend’s best friend’s cousin at school, co-op, or youth group? And you don’t like him back, am I right? You’re probably feeling one of two ways right now: disgust or dismay. You might feel disgusted because,… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Alli Miller This post will lead to your happily ever after. It won’t tell you how to get married though. It has exactly zero suggestions on a scientific algorithm for a godly man to pursue you. The top tips to begin a path towards a marriage relationship aren’t in here either. But it will tell you about the Man that completes you. Let’s begin with an assumption I’ve made about you. You already… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Kayla of The Accidental Nomad Life I was angry, I felt useless, pointless, directionless…I was questioning who I was, what my worth was, what my purpose for life was… I always thought I knew. I always thought that I’d end up playing this big, strong, female role – the one that can conquer everything and anything – no sweat. But here I was, empty, trying to figure out who I truly was. The… Read more »
Hi! My name is Veronica Martinez and I am 24 years old. I am a Bilingual Receptionist for a county office. Some of my favorite things to do are to be out doors hiking, running, walking on the beach, you name it!. I also love to sing and lead worship. But, my most favorite thing to do is to invest in young ladies’ lives! Whether it’s taking them out for coffee or coordinating young women events, I love being able to pour into their… 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 »
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 »
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 »
