Book Cover & Preview Text
Single and making it. It means that you’re handling all that life has sent your way. You’re not depressed; you’re seeking God for all answers, and you’re even careful of your choice of friends. As Christians, we should always depend on God for our strength and comfort. Basically, you’re seeking the kingdom of God, and everything else is just falling into place. As Christians we want to live that total and acceptable life for Christ, but we don’t know how. God intends for you to be single until he is ready to send you that soul mate. Stop focusing on the when, why’s, and how’s, and live for the now. Like my grandmother used to say, “A watched pot never boils.” No one ever knows when that special person is coming into her life, just like we don’t know the time and date of the rapture, but we prepare ourselves for it daily, just like we should be preparing ourselves for our companion. We fast, pray, read God’s word, associate ourselves with other Christians, and attend church frequently—all for the sake of getting into heaven when the time comes. We should take this same attitude about preparing ourselves for our soul mates. We should read the word on a daily basis, learn how to compromise, share, accept change, and even practice being submissive. If we do these things appropriately, we will be in a position to accept our precious gift and enjoy the rest of our lives together serving God. As Christians, we should never settle for less. Always do what’s right by God, never sacrifice your Christian beliefs for no man, and always remember, God will never send an individual into your life that will cause you mental grief or bodily harm.

About the Author
Gail Pittman is a resident of Fayetteville, North Carolina. She is a graduate of Fayetteville State University, and is currently studying to earn her masters in Business Administration with the University of Phoenix. Gail has always had a knack for writing term papers in college. Writing a book became an idea from her friends and family. They influenced her to write a book for singles because they feel that she has mastered being single. On November, 2nd 1990 her son Jordahn was born. He was a sickly baby and was constantly visiting the hospital periodically as well as doctor’s offices with lung problems, fevers and issues with his ears nose and throat. It was then that she decided to give her life to Christ. In 1990, Gail received Christ in her life. She knew that she loved her son with all her heart and wanted to help him from being sick all the time. Gail wanted to get so close to God that every time Jordahn got sick all she had to do was call on Jesus, and he would be there to heal him. Not realizing that other perks came along with knowing God. It was a long and rocky road discovering what her calling was. After being single and surviving trials and tribulations of learning how to walk God’s straight and narrow path, the light bulb came on and she got it! She learned to live for Christ, and not accept anything less. The next thing she knew, everything else in her life started falling into place; the jobs starting coming, the education, homes, finances and much more. With the help of God, she was suddenly living out of poverty, living as a successful single mother and making it.
