Letter To The Single Gal or Guy
Dear single friend, I know firsthand that being single is not easy. When you look for singleness sermons and ask others about singleness to help encourage you, they tell you all the good things.

What did the year 25 do for me? It allowed me to take a pause. For the past seven years for as long as I could remember, I worked and went to school nonstop throughout the school years and summers.
