I naively (and unconsciously) thought that I could improve on the timing of God when in reality what I was doing was stalling. I was procrastinating. I held off because I had to check that Graeme was there. When in actual fact I wasn’t willing to allow God to disrupt me in that moment.

Read MoreI am drawn to the image of a God who, in all cases of lamenting, listened. He sat and listened. He waited and listened. He did not rush to heal. He did not rush to repair. He did not rush to reconcile. He listened to the lamenting. And so should we.
Read MoreLast night, the news headlines were all about the riots in Minnesota, the pain of the African American people, and the death of George Floyd.

I hadn’t considered that I would need to prove that my book was helpful to fellow singles. But I liked how this challenged me to think about those who may feel a little fatigued by what books are currently in the market for Christian singles. I don’t want this book to just be another “Sunday school” answer. As a single person, I know how annoying it is when all you’re met with is “just trust Jesus” in response to your laments about being single. It’s not that this, and other answers like it, are wrong.
