All in Relationships
“How can you be faithful to an imperfect person if you can’t be faithful to me, who is perfect?” God challenged me with this question a few years ago. I was going on and on about wanting to date and get married and BOOM…He dropped the mic with that question. We often underestimate the importance of our single season. God didn’t create us to solely be husbands or wives,
I know how difficult it can be to navigate life in a society that glorifies dating and relationships and minimizes singleness. It’s taken me years to become content with my single status. I use to endure it, but now I enjoy it - and that’s only by the grace of God. If you’re struggling to enjoy being single, I want to help you.

This post goes out to anyone who finds father’s day hard to endure. Whether you never knew your father, he abandoned you, you have a rocky relationship, or he’s passed away - know that this day doesn’t have to be painful.

A year ago my life looked drastically different in a number of ways. For one thing, I was head over heels in love with a guy I couldn't imagine my life without.
I prayed for things to work out between us, but they continued to fall apart. As I look back on those earnest prayers to God to save the relationship I'm a so grateful the answer was no.
I don’t know about you but it seems like everyone around me is getting married. That's probably an exaggeration, but it definitely feels that way. With every scroll through my Facebook feed and invitation in the mail, I can’t help but wonder when it will be my turn.
