Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
Even though I haven’t dated anyone, I’ve still had several broken hearts. It feels like unrequited love (i.e., falling for someone who doesn’t share my feelings) has been the theme of my single years. I’ve learned that having a formal relationship isn’t a prerequisite for getting a broken heart. Unfortunately, it’s incredibly easy to get one. If you’ve found that to be true too, this post is for you.
Today's post—written by Shelby Abbott—is about the internal struggle of singles to find peace in the present. I did an interview with Shelby last year (which you can watch here if you missed it!) and got to learn about his journey of being single and stepping into ministry. Though this post focuses on singleness, it genuinely applies to all seasons of life. Enjoy, friends!
The topic of sex used to make me feel pretty uncomfy, but that's no longer the case. Now I'm excited about having sex. It's something I look forward to! And if you feel the same way, I want you to know you're not weird; you're normal.
Perhaps you’re not in a romantic relationship right now, so the “future husband” concept feels abstract to you. Maybe it feels like you’ll never find true love or get married. I feel that way sometimes, too. But a passage from Proverbs 31 actually changed my perspective on my future husband and how I can honor him (and the Lord!), even though I haven’t met him yet. Here are three practical ways that you can become a godly wife—even before you meet your future husband.
I don't have a problem with single girls hanging out with fellow single girls on Valentine's Day. In fact, that can be a great way to spend the holiday! I just have a problem with the message of Galentine's Day, which is this: You don't need a guy; you just need your gal pals. (Hence the name Galentine's Day—emphasis on gal).
But. I did hear something in a sermon several months ago that has changed my perspective on why God “withholds” good things from us—and it’s something that you need to hear, too.
Christmas is almost here, and TTT is doing something special to celebrate! Today's post is a video interview I recently did with my author friend (and fellow single girl) Cally Logan. In this video, she shares her favorite (and least favorite) parts of Christmas, plus some ideas to make it extra-special. I know you'll enjoy watching this!
This post isn’t about what attracts guys in general—because guys who follow Jesus (hopefully) prioritize very different things than guys who don’t follow Jesus. However, this post is about how to attract guys who follow Jesus and two ways you can do that based on 1 Peter 3:3-4.
I realize several of you who are reading this post aren’t single, so as a single girl, I want to share three ways you can pray for single girls like me. Maybe they work with you or they’re in your Bible study or they babysit your kids. However you know them, know they covet your prayers. And if you’re not exactly sure how to pray for them, here are a few suggestions that I highly recommend.
