As my 40th birthday draws closer, I’ve been thinking a lot about the path I’ve walked; the highs and lows, the waiting seasons, the lessons I didn’t know I needed, and the unexpected ways God has shaped me. I never imagined that I would be single at this stage of life. And yet, here I am not less than, not… Read More
If there’s one fruit of the Spirit that feels especially tested in singleness, it’s self-control. From managing emotions to setting healthy relationship boundaries, we singles face countless opportunities to either lean on God’s Spirit or give in to frustration and compromise. Self-control is not just about saying “no” to sin, it’s about saying “yes” to God’s way, even when it’s… Read More
I came across an incredible quote the other day that made me pause, not just because of the accuracy of her words, but also because of the emotions it generated. She captured an ache so many of us have felt at one point or the other, but were unable to give words to. I believe she did it justice: “That… Read More
A thought crossed my mind the other day: I’m the only one from the friend group at my first job who is still single(men included). I’m not in touch with most of them anymore.

It wasn’t just photos, t was a map, showing all the places she and her husband had travelled to as newlyweds. I caught myself saying: “Oh, now I… Read More
I remember a conversation I had with one of my aunties, a few years ago. We were chatting and then she said something along the lines of: “Your cousin is now married and has a child.” She said this looking intently at me. I smiled and acknowledged her statement, thanking God for blessing our family. To any other person, this… Read More
There are days when the desire for marriage feels like a quiet ache. And then there are days when it feels like a full-body heaviness, like a silent prayer you’ve whispered for so long that your voice has started to shake. I know this weight. I know what it’s like to wonder if God hears, to fight off the creeping… Read More
What does the Bible say about Sexual Desires? Guest Post from Ifeoma “Slow, soft kisses, from the crown of my head to the tip of my toes; won’t it be great to wake up to that this morning”? The thought floated through my mind as my eyes peeled open that morning. I didn’t feel like getting up, so I took… Read More
