Forever alone… I will never forget the moment I first read that phrase. Just repeating the phrase back to myself sent chills down my spine. It resonated an abandonment I felt in my soul from childhood. Was this God's plan for my life for here on out? The following pages disclose hard-earned wisdom I had to fight for; white knuckling my way through. My sincere prayer is that this book is a constant reminder for you of God's ever abiding presence. He loves us so much that he offered his sinless Son as a price to ransom you and I back to himself. He leads and guides us in our short pilgrimage on Earth, each step of the way. You will also discover an arsenal of bible-based principles intent on equipping you for your walk as a single. Tried-and-true tools, designed for intentionality, assist as you navigate the waters of friendships and relationships.

Forever alone… I will never forget the moment I first read that phrase. Just repeating the phrase back to myself sent chills down my spine. It resonated an abandonment I felt in my soul from childhood. Was this God's plan for my life for here on out? The fear would grip me. Maybe I was in-fact damaged goods; only meant to sit on the shelf-of-life while others engaged in fanciful romance, right in front of my eyes. It brought tears to my eyes inside though I would never let those tears be seen by anyone. The medication my psychiatrist had prescribed helped hold back the tears also. It was just a numbing effect. Low dose, but enough to dull the senses. I could watch the saddest movies and not cry. The balancing act of the pill also kept me from experiencing joy, so it was a real letdown. Things that brought satisfaction and fulfilment suddenly diminished. The path was a difficult one and truly I walked through the shadow of Death. The silver-lining? God was with me even in the darkest hour just like he is with you.
