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…

Fixing Your Love-Picker

February 5, 2019

Sonya (not her real name) slouched in her seat. She glanced down, ashamed to look me in the eye as she told me she’d gone back to her old “boyfriend” again. He was self-centered and more interested in using her and her car than in caring for her. “You know you have to fix your…

For Those of Us Who Are Single and Content

December 18, 2018

(Note: Today’s post is almost the opposite of last week’s!) It’s common knowledge that at least half of us are single, not just in the US but around the world, and many of us want to get married. When God created the first human, He realized that this creature did not have a corresponding…

When Your Life’s Not a Hallmark Movie

December 11, 2018

Years ago, I had a roommate who loved Hallmark movies. I never watch TV; I don’t even own one. I’d never heard of the Hallmark channel before, so I was intrigued. Were these merely televised versions of Harlequin romances? Were they as sappy as they sounded? I sat down to watch a few of them…

An Overlooked and Eligible Candidate

November 6, 2018

In what is perceived as today’s shrinking pool of eligible and godly bachelors and bachelorettes, how is one to go about finding an acceptable candidate? Are there other pools to fish from, especially if your church doesn’t have a singles group? (Or your church does have a singles group and well… “There’s no one there!”)…

Review of The Seven Deadly Friendships

September 25, 2018

Have you ever had a friend, maybe even a long-term friend from childhood or college, turn on you? I sure the heck have. Here you thought you two were cool and there weren’t any major issues. Then you started seeing warning signs that your long-term friend wasn’t so cool. Perhaps you confided in her, and…

Review of Choosing Marriage by Debra Fileta: Five Stars!

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…

From Nope to Hope, Part 2 of 2

July 31, 2018

Last week, I shared lessons I learned from Hannah for us Christian singles from 1 Samuel 1 through 2:11. I went over these first two ideas last week: 1. There’s always a background that others won’t understand, but God knows. 2. Go to God with your pain first, not people. Read the entire thing here: https://glendablogz.com/2018/07/24/from-nope-to-hope-part-1-of-2/…

From Nope to Hope, Part 1 of 2

July 24, 2018

I was reading 1 Samuel 1 through 2:21 this afternoon, about Hannah and her desire to have a son. The biggest thing that jumped out at me was the fact that the Lord had closed up Hannah’s womb (1 Sam. 1:5). When she married the love of her life, Elkanah, she thought she was going…
