I am a single woman striving to live for the Lord and use this time to grow and serve Him. In the last several years I have stood by as my friends dated, became engaged and married. There were times where I cried myself to sleep because I wanted to be in their shoes, but thankfully the Lord has brought me contentedness and the ability to see that this season of life is a blessing. What a wonderful opportunity we have been given, to be able to serve the Lord and others without the responsibilities of spouses and children! This is a time of personal growth, and I want to encourage other women as they navigate using their singleness for His glory.
