Introduction

My name is Katie, and I’m twenty-two years old and single. Some people might say, What’s the big deal? You’re only twenty-two. I wish I could confidently reply, It’s not a big deal. I’m completely content and loving the single life. But I can’t. This past year, ten of my friends got married. It was awesome to see them with the person God had so clearly planned for them, but it was also hard not to envy their fairytale love stories. Did God forget about me? 22 & Single is simply a collection of journal entries as well as reflective commentary throughout my quest to live a God-honoring life in a time of discontentment.
