After my three-year dysfunctional relationship with Satan* ended, I memorized Psalm 34:11, The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. For six and a half years I was President of the Single Hearts Club. Yes, I was the self-professed Six Year Single. I joked about it, but inside I struggled with doing Life alone. I did everything by myself; shopping, eating out, studying, driving to holiday functions, hanging with groups of friends.
There were times where I didn’t mind; other times weren’t as successful. Many nights after youth ministry I would chill with my two friends, Ben&Jerry, while watching You’ve Got Mail as I never received any mail. Pathetic? Yes. Honest? Oh, yeah!
But here’s one thing I took for granted: I called out to my one, true best friend 24/7*. When someone couldn’t listen, when no one would care, when everyone was busy, I leaned upon the only one who was there. I would have honest and tough conversations with my Divine Love about how lonely I felt, how ugly I must be, how ridiculously pathetic I was for watching hours of television on Valentine’s day so I wouldn’t be seen alone.
But He listened. And cared. And gave me peace. Was I alone? Yes. But I had someone who was close to me… because the Lord is close to the brokenhearted.
So, let’s do some market research. If you’re single, what’s one thing you enjoy about being single? What’s something you hate about being single? If you’re married, what are things you miss about your singleness? If you’re married, please be gentle! And as always, please remember singleness is not a disease 🙂
*Satan is a fictitious name to protect the [not-so] innocent.
*24/7=24 hours a day, seven days a week

Awesome blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
