At 18, when I crafted my ambitious life plan, I didn't envision being single in my mid-30s. I've experienced all the highs and lows of being a single Christian woman, pondering and anticipating the arrival of a man of God to sweep me off my feet.

 

Whether you've just entered the single life or have been single for quite a while, there are moments when fear, uncertainty, and even anger about life's circumstances can consume us. Then, a well-intentioned church lady might show up and tell you, "the one God has for you will appear when you least expect it" (which isn't helpful at all).

 

I'm here to let you know that I truly understand what you're going through, as I'm experiencing it alongside you. For over 15 years, I've been praying for God to bring me my own prince charming who loves Jesus, and I've felt every emotion along this journey. I want to offer you encouragement—not with the usual clichés that married Christian women often share about being single (maybe I'll write a whole post on that another time). Instead, I want to inspire you to thrive during your single years, maintaining hope while also deepening your relationship with Jesus.
