Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
I started the series by discussing that marriage is good, so desiring marriage is perfectly fine (Part 1). I continued the series by discussing that marriage isn’t guaranteed at a certain time, so forcing/rushing marriage is foolish (Part 2). But today, we’re going to face the most difficult—yet most beautiful—truth in the series: Marriage isn’t guaranteed on earth, so fixing our eyes on heaven is essential.
As a “follow up” to my new book, I wanted to publish a series of posts about the question “What if I never get married?” because it can feel like such a haunting question for single girls, including yours truly. In short, this series addresses this question from a balanced, biblical perspective. Part 1 (which you can read here if you missed it) focused on the truth that marriage is good because God created it. Part 2 is about this truth: Marriage isn’t guaranteed at a certain time.
Although God’s plan for me probably includes marriage, I don’t know for sure—and that’s why the question “What if I never get married?” haunts me. I simply don’t know. If this question haunts you too, I think you’ll benefit from this post (and the upcoming posts in this series). We'll wrestle with this question together, friends. But we'll start this series by focusing on this specific truth: Marriage is good because God created it.
I’ve waited for this day for forever. At times, I wondered if it would ever come—and now it has! That means it’s time to celebrate. The Ring by Spring Ruse: Recognizing and Rewriting the False Narratives Single Girls Have Been Told About Dating and Waiting is here! It’s ready to be read and enjoyed and shared.
As I announced a couple weeks ago, The Ring by Spring Ruse: Recognizing and Rewriting the False Narratives Single Girls Have Been Told About Dating and Waiting is coming out on May 12. That’s only a week away! If you’re interested in getting this book, I have exciting news for you: If you purchase it within one week of publication, you can enter a giveaway for a bundle of fun!
My second book (The Ring by Spring Ruse: Recognizing and Rewriting the False Narratives Single Girls Have Been Told About Dating and Waiting) will be published in two weeks! As I mentioned in last week's post, I spent about four years writing, revising, and re-revising this book. I felt like this would be a great time to share a few fun facts with you about The Ring by Spring Ruse. You might discover something unexpected!
When my first book was published, I didn’t think it would take me four years to finish a second book. But there were some unexpected twists and turns throughout my writing journey. I wrote, made revisions, and made more revisions. The title, content, and even tone have changed during the past several years. But I’ve truly poured my heart into this book—and I can finally share more about it. I can’t wait for you to read it!
