ASK JULIA
Q: How did you come up with the title of the book?
A: Being a divorcee and now a single mother I experienced firsthand the stigma’s that singles face, especially woman! Unfortunately a lot of it comes from the church. One night while in a Women’s Service the speaker began to degrade and belittle ALL single women. She placed us all in the same boat, that being the desperate woman boat. It was more like being at ‘Def Comedy Jam’ and not the House of God, which by the way should be a place for healing and restoration instead of head rolling lip popping I got a bone to pick with you! Well, this woman had an ax to grind. She said that all single women could not be trusted and that we all wanted a married man because we could not get a man of our own. The congregation cheered. In the days that past I kept thinking about her vicious attack on ALL single woman and I thought wow she made it seem as if being single is a disease therefore I thought “Being single is not a disease!’ All single woman where not in the same boat. This is how I came up with the title. Too many people treat you wrong because they feel as if something is wrong with you if you’re single. We have all made mistakes, but come on wanting companionship is normal. All single woman are not after a married man. If it is a sin to desire companionship then marriage is wrong altogether. God does not punish some women by saying they can’t ever get married.
Q: How long have you been single and do you want to get married?
A: TOO LONG! JUST KIDDING YALL! That is just my dry sense of humor! But I have been single just about 15 years….although I did have a little mis-hap (here or there –clearing her throat) that I am not too proud about. I am just like any other person….YES I do eventually want to get married! I am not the poster child for being single or anything like that.

Q: Are you dating and do you believe in dating?
A: No I am not currently dating anyone. Yes, I do believe in dating according to purpose. When you know who you are in Christ (where you fit in the Body of Christ) it is good to date someone who compliments that purpose.
Q: Why aren’t you dating?
A: Well, I am not rushing anything. I haven’t met anyone that I would want to be with. I believe in purpose and compatibility. I also believe that two people can both be Christians but still not right for each other. I am really waiting on the Lord. I don’t mind waiting on the Lord. I believe when the time comes that I am to date, it will be right and of the Lord. Connecting with the wrong person or persons can create major set-backs (believe me I know) therefore I have learned from my mistakes and I am waiting on the Lord.
