A word of caution to single and married folks, alike..

 From Boaz Ministries https://www.facebook.com/theboazministries

One of our single readers asked if we would be speaking to some of the challenges unmarried people face, especially those who are trying to live Godly. Bruce and I agree that while the focus at Boaz is largely on the folks who are already coupled, there's still food for thought that transfers easily across the divide into the single lane. That is, single people can also benefit from the counsel we present to the married/committed folks, because as they observe potential mates, the eye of discernment is sharpened. We want to provide sustenance for all readers, therefore, we are open to topic suggestions, questions, and the like.

Here's something I believe is important to share on the topic of single-hood: Some years ago, one of my male co-workers told me something I'll never forget. He was divorced and not dating at the time, after having had a tumultuous marriage and three teen-aged children. We'd been talking about relationships, and this man looked me square in the face and said, "The only thing worse than being alone, is wishing you were..."

Don't sleep! And guard your singleness jealously; be selective in your choices. LOVE.YOURSELF. FIERCELY!
