The challenges of being single and Christian
I’ve just come across an interesting article in Commercial Appeal a Memphis-based newspaper. It tells the story of a Christian woman, Roshunda Buchanan, who is “dedicated to the principles of divine dating.”
The way she explains it, she was distgusted by “dating debauchery” and wanted to promote a more virtuous way of dating. She started a group called 2Unique which has an outreach programme with the mission to “impact change in mentality and behaviour through knowledge and relationships.”
“It’s about dating with integrity,” Buchanan said in the article. “It can be difficult and challenging, but you have to change your mindset.”
Buchanan’s website has a pretty good definition, I think, of what being Christian and single can be: “Singles should not view singleness as a waiting room for marriage. We have this time to strengthen spiritually and personally.”
We are where we are now, and seek God’s will for now, not do nothing waiting for what might happen.
