all the single ladies

I find myself often wishing recently that there was a book on the single women of the Bible. The idea first popped inmy head a few months back. Most of the places where the Bible directly addresses women, it's speaking to married women. Of course. Most girls were married off very young, so it only makes sense that they were addressed specifically in regards to their roles of wife and mother.

But where does that leave the many many unmarried young women who are seeking to love God with all their beings? This season of life as a single girl is a unique time.

Father God, Thank You for choosing to work through us. As my friends and I seek to live our best lives as single girls, please continue to lead and guide. You are the Creator, and we know they revel in us when find ourselves in You. As I seek You, as I work my best in the ministry You've placed me, as I prepare one day to love and care for a husband, and as I prepare to love and care for a family one day, may You go ahead. May I follow You. In it all.
