Happy Valentine’s Day, loves!   While today can be a fun day of sweet notes and candy hearts, I have something I really need to tell any of my single ladies who may be scrolling their social media today feeling left out or unloved. And here it is: I need you to know that today […]

Online dating has saturated our generation’s dating culture.   It’s brought countless people together, but has also been a point of deep frustration for others (“Why hasn’t he messaged me back?” “Why did we talk for a week and never meet up?” “Why did he swipe right if he wasn’t really interested?!” You feel me?). […]

“God is writing my love story”   I’ve heard this time and time again from Christian women. In fact, I’ve said it several times myself. And though I believe that it’s true, I’ve most often heard it used as a reason for Christian women not to take action in their dating lives. Specifically, as a reason […]

Over the last few years, I’ve noticed a significant drop in the number of single men and women around me.    In fact, it’s to the point where I’ve started to wonder if I missed the boat. Like for real though. Did a group of single, Christian young men pull up, find wives, and sail […]

“When we said you couldn’t get married until you’re 40, we were joking.”   That’s a quote from “The DTR Blog” (if you don’t follow her on Instagram, DO IT NOW) from when she asked people to share ridiculous things their family members said to them about their singleness over the holidays.

Ok ladies.   It’s time to talk honestly about something I’ve heard from so many single Christian women lately.

Click the link above!   “This is your year.”   That phrase is one of the most reassuring things someone can say to me. To hear that THIS year, THIS YEAR is going to be MY year, and that they believe it to be so. They […]

https://lauraemichael.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/I-didn’t-get-married-this-year.m4a Want to hear this post straight from me? Click the link above!   Well y’all, I didn’t get married this year. Again.   No planning was done, no invitations were sent out. I didn’t walk down an aisle (except at the grocery store, which honestly might be better?). No white dresses were bought, or […]

In most years past I’ve found myself bargaining with God this time of year.   “Ok God, I was single for the holidays again this year, but next year is the year it’s going to be different, right?” But over the last several years, I’ve grown weary of waiting to live my life until it […]

“But wouldn’t it be better if…”   Those words have come out of my mouth more times than I can count. And just seeing them now is immediately deflating. Wouldn’t it be better if… Those words have robbed me of all joy on countless special occasions. Birthdays, weddings, vacations, and especially, the holidays. The second […]
