I started writing this book during a season where I was more frustrated and discouraged than I was hopeful. A season I felt my faith in God was being challenged.

In October of 2020 I decided to lay all my frustrations and disappointments on God. I told Him, “I need to know what my purpose is in this season. Why have I been single my whole life?”

I felt God telling me in response, “You should write a book about this season.” I said, “I should what??” (If you know me, you know I am not the poster child for writing or grammar). But when God’s calling you to do something, it’s hard to run from it. So...

On October 26, 2020, I took a leap of faith and started the process of writing with absolutely no idea where to begin. Not knowing as I embarked on this journey, I was also going to spend most of 2021 celebrating many close friends and family on their special day.

God sure does have a sense of humor. Calling me to write a book on encouraging others in singleness while living in the middle of a season it has never been more glaringly obvious, I was single.

That didn’t matter though because in this moment I felt I had purpose. I finally was able to smile and rejoice in my singleness instead of it being a burden. I became overjoyed thinking what I have learned in this season might one day be used to encourage others.
