"If I'm single at 12, something is already wrong with me and I'll never find love."

Anna was a widow for 84 years—most of her life single—yet she never left the temple, worshiping God day and night.

I REFUSE the lie that singleness at 12 or any age means something is wrong with me. IT IS WRITTEN that my Maker is my husband and I am COMPLETE in Christ right now.

I am not waiting to be picked—I am ALREADY the daughter of the King.
The Father isn't waiting for you to get a boyfriend to celebrate you—He's throwing a party over you RIGHT NOW, single and 12. He's running toward you with the robe of righteousness and the ring of authority, declaring you COMPLETE, CHERISHED, and exactly on time.
