Now that I have your attention, I want to tell you a story.

I am no Martin Luther King, but I had a dream that I was pregnant in a warehouse full of women about to give birth. *We were all expectantly waiting on God’s promises.*

The *very* next day at work (this was back in 2005), a lady came in for a job interview. She walked into the room where I was the office receptionist and asked me,

> **“Are you pregnant?”**

At first I was shocked. Then horrified.

I said “No!” and she quickly apologized, but said she *sensed* something in the Spirit. Mind you, I wasn’t working at a Christian work place at that time–so *that* was a huge confirmation of my dream the night before.

Funny Story, about 9 months later the same lady told me God showed her the meaning of my dream. She said,

> “**God is trying to birth a ministry through me, if I would just let him–and not to say that my future husband isn’t important**.”

I have to say. I was pretty upset when she told me this.

> *WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY FUTURE HUSBAND ISN’T IMPORTANT?*

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I prayed and asked God for a husband daily since I was 15\. I felt bitter. Like God had personally offended me.

> **All I ever wanted was to get married, go into ministry, and serve alongside my husband.**

When I published my first book, I realized that I couldn’t serve two masters. **I finally got it.**

I quit my job to pursue ministry full time and to continue writing. There is absolutely *no way* I would have been able to write “Faithbook of Jesus” and “Not Another Dating Book” as a **married** woman.

*There were things in my soul I needed to wrestle with.*

*Anguish has a way of changing your heart.*

God softened me and used my time as a single person to bless me with a writing ministry–of which I am most grateful for.

Even though I couldn’t see it at the time, God put a wall of protection around me, my heart, and desires.

> **Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield (Psalm 5:12, 33:20).**

To the *single* woman who feels neglected by God, you are not alone.

To the (actual) pregnant woman who is waiting to give birth.

*Do not abandon your dreams.*

*Do not give up your desires.*

*You may have forgotten, but God won’t!* *![](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2012/02/reneejohnsonfisher2-300x200.jpg "reneejohnsonfisher2")*

> **“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compass** **ion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever** **before me” (Isaiah 49:14-16).**
