As a young, single Christian woman, this time is a beautiful opportunity to reflect, set goals, and build a strong foundation for your future, both personally and spiritually.

Singleness isn’t just a waiting period; it’s a season of growth, self-discovery, and deepening your faith.

For the longest time, I struggled with impatience. I was praying for something while doing absolutely nothing to prepare for it! That realization led me to create my guided journal, designed for Christian singles who desire marriage but also want to embrace contentment in the present. If that sounds like you, read more about my journey.

Journaling is such a powerful tool for bringing clarity and purpose to this season of life. That’s why I’ve put together 100 journal prompts for young Christian single women to help you reflect on your faith, self-worth, relationships, personal growth, and future aspirations.

MY singleness journey

So, yeah girl, I’ve been single for a while—more than six years, less than nine (but who’s counting, haha?). A deep dive into the realities of waiting, growing, and navigating faith, love, and the occasional ‘Why am I still single?’ moment.

It’s safe to say I’ve been through a lot of the stages of being single, and who knows if there are more to come?

I’ve been through the I-need-a-break-from-relationships stage, the I-think-I’m-ready-now phase, the dating apps era, and all the mixed feelings that come with it. Excitement, indifference, frustration, and eventually just despising them altogether. I’ve had weird conversations with exes, failed talking stages, and those moments where I wasn’t sure if I was desperate or if I should just give up on the whole idea of marriage.

Yeah, you get the point.

But now I think I’m at a place where I’m gaining a healthy view of both singleness and marriage. I’m in this transition stage where I’m focusing on myself, working on my growth, and staying open to whatever happens. No rushing, no forcing, just taking life as it comes.

ne of my friends told me that I’m making her start to feel happy about being single. I was like, guuurl, you don’t know what goes on in this mind. But I think I’m getting there.

My realization that I wasn’t truly content but also wasn’t being diligent with my single season is what inspired me to create my journal. I knew it would help other women, too. I do believe there’s a healthy balance between wanting to get married and being content where you are—because this is

Alright, girl, go out there and be great, and remember that as a young, single Christian woman, this season of life is full of purpose, growth, and opportunities to strengthen your faith. Embrace it with confidence, knowing that God has something beautiful planned for you—whether in singleness or beyond. Keep growing, keep trusting, and keep shining, girl!
