I’ve signed off Instagram for a while, and have missed these q/a’s. Thank you for putting them into this format 💙

Thank you for being so generous with your time, insights, and story in this format. I so appreciate every free post. It's definitely time for me to subscribe 😅.

Here's a (hopefully) encouraging note about singleness in the church: I am Eastern Orthodox and so, so, soooo many of our saints are single people. So we read/sing about amazing examples of single Christians many times a week. I'm grateful that my kids hear about these single saints on a near-daily basis and know that we honor, cherish, and look up to these brothers and sisters as part of our great cloud of witnesses and heroes in the faith. They give us an example to follow and we want to be like them (imitate them as they imitates Christ).

It's not quite the same as hearing good preaching about singleness, but there is something powerful about commemorating and celebrating the lives of these single saints.
