Summary

Loneliness was a constant part of my life. I desperately wanted to be married. Growing up in a large, supportive family, I had always assumed that I would marry at a young age. Years passed. Loneliness plagued me. Still, I remained single. When two of my younger sisters married before me, I questioned why God would allow it. I wondered if I deserved to have a husband like so many other women. I tried to overcome my loneliness, but ultimately found myself questioning whether marriage was in my future. Though I continued to date, a long-lasting relationship never came to be.

As a Partner with Kenneth Copeland Ministries, I realized, in time, that my intense desire to be married was a symptom of a deeper longing in my life—the love I truly craved was that of my Heavenly Father. This realization led me to turn to Jesus and the Word of God in a more personal, profound, and persistent way. I relinquished my dogged pursuit of marriage and instead focused on my pursuit of the Lord. As my relationship with the Lord grew, I eventually came to know true peace and contentment that allowed me to overcome loneliness.

While I remained open to finding the love and companionship of a husband, I no longer allowed the desire to be married to consume my life. Today, I am engaged to a long-time friend, a man who shares my commitment to the Lord and my love of music. Though I admit that the relationship with my fiancé is a wonderful addition to my life, the relationship that brings me the most joy is the one I share with the Lord.
