I think we were all pretty excited when Beyonc辿 came out with her hit, Single Ladies, in 2008. That song continues to be a hair-flipping, hip-shaking anthem for independent women everywhere. I must admit, Ive danced around to the song with some of my single friends once or twice in my own life. Its empowering in every sense of the word.
However, if were being real with ourselves, wed have to admit that being single isnt always a walk in the park. Especially at a place like 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023, where GYRADs and talk of ring by spring are the norm. Single people are often viewed as incomplete, or missing something. For us ladies there seems to be a particular sense of pressurethat if we arent in a relationship, its somehow our own fault.
One of my favorite ladies on campus (if not the favorite), Lisa Igram, was interviewed recently on a on this very subject. Not only is Lisa basically my hero, but she is also one of the coolest single ladies I know. Lisa shares her own experience as a single woman in Christian circles in her uniquely insightful and inspiring way. If youre in need of a little encouragement in your singleness I would highly recommend giving this a listen.
Best,
