This book is a heartfelt and inspiring account of my journey as a single woman over the age of fifty. Through sharing my own experiences and struggles, I aim to provide encouragement and support to other women who may find themselves in a similar season of singleness. In Delayed Not Denied: The Journey of Singleness-It's Worth the W.A.I.T., I share my personal stories, dating experiences, and the valuable lessons I have learned along the way. The book is centered on four key touchstones represented by the acronym W.A.I.T. These touchstones have been instrumental in my own growth and perseverance. They remind me to: Seek Wisdom, Keep Asking, Be Intentional, and Trust God'sTiming. I want every single woman reading this book to know that she is not alone. Your season of singleness is valuable and filled with opportunities for growth, self-discovery, and building a strong foundation for future relationships. Remember, those who wait upon the Lord will find their strength renewed, and they will soar like eagles. So if you are a single woman waiting for your husband, feeling weary, or considering giving up, I implore you to stay the course. Together, let's embrace the beauty of our singleness, knowing that love will come in due time-and it will be worth the W.A.I.T. In joyful expectation, ~ Vanessa
