Thirty days to steady your heart, quiet the ache of feeling forgotten, and wait for love without losing yourself.
The one that comes at eleven at night, with your phone face-down on the nightstand.
It will not promise you a husband, hand you a timeline, or tell you to want it less. What it will do is walk with you through real Scripture — read with the seriousness you’ve been longing for — into the one thing the waiting can actually give you: a center that does not move when everything around you does.
Thirty days. Four movements. Each day a passage to stand on, a reflection to see by, a prayer for the nights you have no words, and a space to write your own.
From the ache of the empty room to the woman standing whole on the threshold.
From Day Three — the God who saw Leah, read from her side.
“The LORD saw that Leah was hated, so he opened her womb… She named him Reuben, for she said, ‘Because the LORD has looked at my affliction.’”
While Jacob looked past her, God looked at her. The one person in that house who was not loved was the one person God specifically, deliberately, tenderly saw.
And here is the detail that should take the breath out of you. The line of kings came through Leah — not through Rachel the beloved. The throne of David, and at the end of that line, the Messiah Himself — all of it came through the wife who was not chosen. God built the entire future out of the woman the world overlooked.
This is the level of every one of the thirty days. Leah, Joseph, Daniel, Rahab, Abigail, Esther — read from angles no one preaches.
Here’s what it’s doing in the lives of the women who follow it every day.
“I’m turning 38 in August. My ex got married a week ago and I caught myself looking through his wedding photos. I know he wasn’t the man God had for me — but after so many years single, your mind takes you back to the last place your needs were met. This came right on time. I’m keeping my faith and putting my life in His hands.”
“One of the most calming things I’ve ever heard on singleness. Thank you for sharing this.”
“Very good explanations — clear, and without being wordy.”
“‘You are no longer praying for a husband — you are praying for a household.’ That changed the whole meaning of love for me. Most people pray for romance; very few pray for peace, legacy, and spiritual alignment.”
“This is exactly what I felt inside. Thank you — this word saw me.”
“This was truly a Word for me — straight from the heart of God.”
Somewhere along the way, you were taught that the longing itself was the problem — that if you were more faithful, more content, it would shrink. So you’ve spent years trying to want it less.
I wrote this to tell you the opposite. The question you’ve never said out loud — did I miss it? — is not a sin. It is the sound of something God placed in you, and over thirty days I want to treat it that way: not as a weakness to repent of, but as a fingerprint to understand.
Not a more spiritual version of you. You — whole, and waiting.
— The Still Point
The woman this book meets on Day One is not a more spiritual version of you. She is you — tonight, as you are, with the question still sitting in your chest.
