Single:With Hindsight to Help Other Single Sisters.

By Mary Murray

She's now wearing a smile...After being married most of her life, Mary never thought about writing a book entitled Single: With Hindsight to Help Other Single Sisters. It brought to surface not only her dating experience, because it's not an isolated one, but also those whom she has spoken with who have gone through similar situations. If you have been a Christian for a period of time, your life and lifestyle have changed by the power of God and you don't respond to situations as you used to. Most of the time, it's for the better. You become more loving, trusting, faithful, and compassionate. Hopefully, you'll have more wisdom to use it and receive this information as an eye-opener. Then it can become fruitful and beneficial for the body of Christ. And the world will be a better place when we all live for others and not just for ourselves. I'm sorry to say that being found by a good, decent Christian man with values, who is a doer of the Word of God and not a hearer only, isn't easy, but they are out there. If you find yourself in one or more of the predicaments mentioned, pay attention. Your test may be a testimony to others. To God be the glory for the great things He has done for me.

Acknowledgments

First of all, I would like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who gives the power to keep you and save your soul.

Secondly, I would like to thank my pastor, Dr. James P. Norman Jr., and his wife, Kathleen, our precious first lady, both of whom teach the uncompromising Word of God and keep me in their prayers.

I would also like to thank my sons, Reginald J. Williams and Leamon V. Williams, and my godson Jerry Calloway, who loves me and who are my men of valor; my friend Virginia Renty Calhoun who helped me stay on my path of righteousness through this experience; Kim Mays and Dr. Drew Schultz-Ross who edited this book; and my church family at Artesian Well Church, Long Beach, California.

Without a test, there is no testimony. I know how my family wants only the best for me and that I keep true joy within my heart, whether single or married. I’ll not throw in the towel but will run with patience the race set before me.

Gratefully,

Mary M. Murray

Introduction

You must know a little bit about me. I am single —now. Such a catchy statement! I haven’t always been that way. In fact, I was eighteen years old when I first married, and it lasted for twenty-four years. We kind of grew up together. He died of cancer, leaving me a young woman of forty-two with two sons. The first eight years of my married life was with worldly living, going back and forth to my parents’ home where I still had my room if I needed it, which I used several times if I didn’t get my way.
