Three Negative and Three Positive Reasons to Stay Single

May 14, 2019

Reasons to stay single?! Whaaa…NO. That’s the attitude many singles have toward singleness: “That’s ridiculous! Though I’m not dating at the moment, I actually do want to get married. I don’t want to stay single forever!” We’re told—by no other than the church—to only focus on being content, not look for a mate, and pretend…

Strategies to Combat Spiritual Warfare for the Single Christian, Part 2 of 2

May 7, 2019

Last week, I talked about how we Christian singles are in a spiritual war, incited by the devil. To read it, click here: https://glendablogz.com/2019/04/30/strategies-to-combat-spiritual-warfare-for-the-single-christian-part-1-of-2/ Remember when I said what was inside us: our will, values, motives, emotions, thoughts, attitudes, words, and actions? Those seven entities are the biggest hooks the enemy will grapple to heave…

Are You Bringing this Stinky Bad Boy to Your Future Marriage?

October 16, 2018

One of the stinkiest fruits in the world is the infamous durian. Its stench has been compared to sewage, vomit, and dirty socks. It only grows in tropical climates in Southeast Asia, thank God! When I was a summer missionary in the Philippines, I had to hold my nose to sample a tiny piece. Eeewwwyuu!…

The Beauty of Resilience

October 2, 2018

This is the last of my Hurricane Florence stories… for now. I had just returned home from my first outing after being cooped up all weekend due to hurricane Florence. As I ambled up the driveway, enjoying the sunshine, I spied a butterfly approaching and smiled. I stopped and watched to see where she would…

Preparing for a Disaster

September 18, 2018

I moved to North Carolina over a year ago. What the weather might be like never came to mind as I prepared to move here. Upon my arrival, I was reminded that I had moved into a hurricane zone. I only heard about hurricane Florence last Tuesday when a friend from the west coast asked…

The Most Valuable Lesson I’ve Learned About Dating

September 11, 2018

I’m probably taking dating too seriously, because I don’t date much. I can number all the men I’ve dated on my fingers. Having a more serious, contemplative personality makes me take a long time to decide almost anything. The bigger the decision, the slower I am about it. The fact that I’m about 60% introvert…

Dirty Dozen Reasons Why Single Christians Aren’t Being Properly Prepared for Marriage, Part 2 of 2

September 4, 2018

Last week, I shared my experience with the 5-Day Challenge to Pray For Your Future Spouse. It wasn’t so much praying for a mate, but being ready for a real marriage. #pfyfs sparked all sorts of positive responses from hundreds of participants who realized how much they needed it. I got nearly all of this…

Review of Courageous Women of the Bible

August 21, 2018

Cozy. Safe enough to explore a feisty topic like courage. Strengthened enough to go out there and do it! That’s what I felt while I was reading through La-Tan Roland Murphy’s latest book, Courageous Women of the Bible. La-Tan didn’t cover all the usual suspects, the women who are typically lauded as courageous women in…

August 7, 2018

I have read a lot of books on being a Christian single, marriage, and marriage prep. I mean that. The best one I have read in a really long time is Debra Fileta’s Choosing Marriage. “Why would I want to read a book called Choosing Marriage when I’m not married? I’m not even dating anyone…
