One of the staff at CIT had a special session to discuss the unique issues for single women missionaries. We all went out to dinner together, and about half way through our discussion she suggested a devotional for single women missionaries. I am sure it is a wonderful devotional, unfortunately, the title is pretty discouraging (but also hilarious). "Serving God Alone" ... that word Alone. The title became a running joke between all of us. And the reason it was so funny was that it could not be further from the truth.
We are NOT serving God alone! God is with us always! God will never leave us or forsake us! We are also all joining teams of missionaries on the field. We have the support of family, friends, and churches at home praying for us. You are all a part of our ministry. We are not alone.
The running joke about the single women "Serving God Alone", which was shortened to SGA over the weeks, was a constant reminder that God is with us.

Christine- good to catch up tonight. I had to say, I cracked up when I read this. Serving God Alone.... you're right- not true- and not overwhelmingly a very helpful title either. Hope the content is better than the title!
