You are not behind. You are not forgotten. And you are definitely not alone.

Some of the most powerful people in Scripture walked out their calling while single.

Paul chose singleness so he could be fully devoted to the work of the Lord (1 Corinthians 7:32–35). Because he wasn’t divided by family responsibilities, he traveled, planted churches, wrote much of the New Testament, and endured hardship with complete focus on his assignment.

Jeremiah was single and able to give his life wholly to the prophetic call God placed on him (Jeremiah 1:7). His obedience wasn’t tied to anyone else’s timeline.

Mary of Bethany used her freedom to sit at Jesus’ feet and pour out extravagant worship (Luke 10:39).

Don’t rush love — what’s meant for you won’t miss you. 🌅 Because singleness—just like the sunrise—may take its time,

but when it arrives, it's radiant, it’s real…

…and it’s worth the wait.

God is the best matchmaker because He matches purpose with purpose, faith with faith, and future with future. When He brings two people together, it’s not just for attraction. It’s for alignment, growth, peace, and purpose... This is a throwback to my December 18 post on how God is the ultimate matchmaker—go back and read it, it might speak to your heart. Read more here

it’s a season of growth, clarity, and becoming your best self.

It’s not a waiting room — it’s a building room.

You’re not behind in life — you’re on your own timeline.

This season is shaping you, strengthening you, and preparing you.

Joy, love, purpose, and fulfillment don’t start with a relationship — they start with you.

So don’t rush what’s meant to last.

Being single, despite stigma, is a powerful chance to grow. This book shows that singleness is a season everyone experiences—and when you find and maximize its purpose, the choices you make now shape the seasons that follow. https://www.heatheredmund.com/itsoktobesingle

You’re learning to love yourself before sharing space because if you don’t, you’ll beg for love instead of choosing it, tolerate disrespect just to avoid being alone, and turn relationships into rescue missions instead of partnerships. Unhealed wounds don’t pick what’s healthy — they pick what feels familiar. When you haven’t learned self-love, love becomes dependence, not freedom, and you expect someone else to fill what only healing can fix. But when you do love yourself, you bring value, not a void. You stop asking, “Who will complete me?” and start asking, “Who will complement me?” That’s why this season matters — because if you don’t heal first, you’ll bleed on someone who didn’t cut you.

"And if you want to go deeper into this, I wrote a book called It’s OK To Be Single. It’s there if you need it.”

Stay single until you can find someone to love effortlessly and loves you effortlessly — and here's why:

because love isn’t meant to feel like constant striving, proving, or surviving. The right love brings peace, not pressure. It doesn’t drain you; it strengthens you. When love is mutual and effortless, you’re not chasing affection—you’re building purpose together, growing in safety, trust, and joy.

Real love doesn’t require you to shrink, perform, or beg to be chosen. It flows naturally. You don’t have to over-explain your heart, constantly fix problems you didn’t create, or carry the relationship on your back.

When love is right, it feels stable and peaceful. You can grow as your own person without guilt and build together without pressure. Until then, staying single gives you the freedom to become who you’re meant to be and to wait for who God has for you. There’s no better matchmaker…
