by Clara Bastidas Sánchez (Author)
Did you enter adulthood thinking marriage would naturally find you? You were told all your life that "one day you will find the one", only to find yourself waiting and waiting still, with no success? Perhaps you find yourself, once again, at another wedding, dodging another bouquet the night before you turned thirty? Or dodging your any and all conversations about "do you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend yet?" You find yourself chased by the question, is there any good coming for you as a single? Is this the best the single life has to offer?
Clara Bastidas has walked this road before and her answer is no. The single life doesn't have to be the "second-class" version of God's ideal for everybody. It doesn't have to leave you constantly waiting for "real life" to begin. Jamás solo offers a better answer: there is purpose and fulfillment in the single life, joy everlasting awaiting you; and the best news is that you are not alone. God is with you always.
Clara Bastidas ha caminado este camino y su respuesta es: "No". La vida de soltería no tiene que ser una versión de segunda clase del ideal que Dios tiene para todos. No debe dejarte esperando constantemente para que la "vida real" comience. Jamás solo ofrece una mejor respuesta: Hay propósito y plenitud en la vida de soltería, te espera un gozo permanente y la mejor noticia es que no estás solo. Dios está contigo siempre.
