​Hi there, I’m Jessica.

​And I’m here to help you navigate singleness with joy and hope.

After being single for all of my 20’s, wrestling with discontentment, battling doubts about my worth, and going through a bit of a quarter-life crisis, I want to come alongside you to share the stuff I’ve learned (and am still learning) about cultivating contentment, overcoming insecurities, and what to do when our dreams aren’t coming true and we’re left wondering, What am I supposed to be doing with my life?

I’m here to tell you you’re not alone in this thing called singleness and the struggles that come with it. I’m here to remind you that Jesus is always enough. And I’m here to let you know that in Him, so are you.
I believe in Christ, you can live with joy, confidence, and purpose in your right-now, single life, and I’m here to help you do just that.

Here are few places to get started:

My Story:

On a summer evening, as the setting sun painted the sky pink, my 5 year-old heart recognized the love Jesus’ has for me and with bowed head, closed eyes, and a simple prayer, I chose to love Him back and serve Him.

That was over 20 years ago, and a lot has happened since. 

When I graduated from high school, I didn't know what I wanted to do or was supposed to do next. So I got a job, volunteered at my church, and attempted an Etsy shop with jewelry I made. In my early 20's, I started struggling with discontentment in my singleness, feeling
alone, discouraged, and directionless as my dream for marriage went unfulfilled, and battling the lie that my life would be good, meaningful, and complete only when I met Mr. Right.

During this time, I began writing because I wanted help other young women grow in their relationship with Jesus, and encourage them in the midst of those struggles I was walking through as well.

​When I was 24, I chose joy to be my word for the year. But as I approached my 25th birthday, the discontent reached an all time high, I was feeling more directionless than ever, many fears and insecurities became magnified, and I began to have anxiety.
​
Through counseling, crying, praying, talking with trusted family and friends, more crying, reading my Bible, keeping a gratitude list, and more crying, I’ve learned to choose Jesus as my joy and find my worth in Him.

In a lot of ways, I'm still learning.

And through it all, God has been faithful. God is faithful. Always loving, always teaching, always growing, always making new.

I know what it is to deal with loneliness, insecurities, discontentment, fears, and regrets. And I know what it is to experience the love of Jesus; to find joy in knowing Him, to find purpose in loving Him, to find confidence in following Him. That is why I write: to share His love, to express mine, and to help other single women find joy, purpose, and confidence in Him.

These are a few of my favorite things:

Books: I'm a sucker for WWII historical fiction, Jane Austen, and library book sales
Family and Friends; I couldn't do life without them
Travel, especially to Rwanda
