I have not shared some of my favorite quotes for a while. Here are some on singleness and dating that have been a blessing to me. If you are currently in this season I hope it encourages you to keep trusting God in your wait. “Nobody is perfect. Not even that man of yours. Or…
I know this seems old-fashion and outdated in today’s culture. And quite honestly, the idea of it scares me just a bit. But with much prayer and thought I have finally made my decision. I am going to have a prearranged marriage. Before you think I have fallen off the deep end let me explain…
I told myself that I would never write you a letter. Certainly not publicly. But then again, I also told myself I’d be married with three kids by now and obviously that’s not working out that well for me. 😉 Of course, I would rather much talk to you over some ice-cream as we watch…

I know today is your favorite day of the year. There’s nothing you look forward to more than seeing everyone confess their love to each other all over social media.

Today is the day. The day all the dating and married women post pictures all over facebook of all the sweet things their husbands bought or did for them. The day all the young single girls are writing about how they don’t need any man in their life because they are oh-so-satisfied in Christ. The…
I know I am most likely a stranger to you. I know I’ve never met you in person and probably never will but I have an urgent prayer request to ask for you to pray for. See… my future husband is blind and needs supernatural healing of his eyes because he’s obviously having trouble seeing…
By Guest Blogger: Emily Sledge I used to cry myself to sleep all the time, desperately jealous of people in happy relationships. I watched friends and people on TV, and it seemed practically everyone but ME had someone. It made me a little obsessed with the movie “The Notebook,” too. Especially the rain scene – remember,…
Half a year ago I was sitting in my room grading some worksheets we had given our teens from church as homework and I came across one of my girl’s papers on which I read something that made me put everything down and just stop and think. I don’t know what question it was responding to but…
