When I heard this phrase, I was a little taken back because I kept trying to figure out in my head, how in the world can you be single with a purpose? Well in chapter ten, there are a couple girls that don't just sit around waiting for their future husband to knock on their front door and whisk them away to a life happily ever after. In face, these two women use their singleness to better themselves for their husband by getting closer and closer to God. If they have days where all they can think about is their future husband, they sit and write letters to him so when the time comes that they marry their beloved, that they will be able to share with them the journey that they were on to get to their husband. I say this is a great way to use singleness. As you know, I am single myself and I recently started writing love letters to my husband and it was shortly after that, when I read this chapter. I felt almost like I was accomplishing something because I was using my single status effectively. There are too many people out there that actively seek for their future spouse to fill that void in their hearts. But, we can use our loneliness to fall back on God and let Him take the reigns for a while. We definitely cannot do that on our own. We need help and why not fall back on the greatest gift we will ever receive instead of going through the turmoil on our own? I say that is definitely being single with a purpose.
