Satisfied: dealing with our desires.

[The blog post is part of a series based on a course called Satisfed]

Hunger is a weird thing.  When you think about the sensation it’s not necessarily the most painful thing you’ve ever experienced, but it’s prompting.  It makes you feel like you must take action.

It’s the same with our desires.  Sometimes they feel like dull grumblings in our souls and sometimes they feel like ravenous beasts.  These desires can be the most destructive forces in our lives, tearing us away from the living God, but I also believe they can be instrumental in finding satisfaction in God.

4 ways to love singles well (full post).

[Some of you asked for me to post the full article I wrote for Jamie’s blog here, so here ya go!  Enjoy!’

When I saw Jamie’s topic suggestion for this post I almost died with excitement: how can married women can serve single women better?

Uh. I’m sorry, did you just say: Fabs, can you write a blog post about how your life is so hard and how you’re constantly misunderstood? Why, yes. Yes, Jamie I can.

So, (cracking knuckles), here are the top four things I wish all married women knew about loving single women, (and if you’re only going to read one, skip to number four cause it’s the only one that really matters).

4 ways to love single folks well.

It always seems really self-serving and entitled and pouty when people write blog posts about how their life stage is uniquely challenging.  Obviously, that has never stopped me before, (probably because I am all three of those things).

When my dear friend Jamie asked me to write a blog post on ‘how to love single women’, I realized I had found away to be all of those things without appearing to be any of those things.  Win.

I came up with four ways that married women could really minister to folks like me:

#1 Know when to be silent.

Don’t think for yourself.

Boy, my dad is turning over in his grave at the title of this blog post.

If there was anything in all the world my father valued, it was training us up to be women who know how to think for ourselves.  He longed for us to be women who aren’t swayed by the world or culture or our friends. (Ironically I spent years of my life attempting to appear like I was ‘thinking for myself’ just so I could please him.)
