During years of singleness, Colleen Chow learned to trust the Lord with her unfulfilled longings.

I couldn't deny the fact that God had put in me these emotional, relational, physical desires.

They were good. They weren't bad. But for some reason, he was saying, not yet or maybe not ever.

And to go to him became this, this beautiful love

Talking about some of the unique challenges that you face. Now, even if you're not currently single,

you may well be there again at some point in the future. So this program is for you too.

You can find those programs in the series, thoughts for my single sisters, before I become a missus.

It's in the podcast section of revive our hearts.com, or you can find it through the Revive Our Hearts app.

Most recently, it's been her ongoing journey through stage four breast cancer.
