Her experiences of adulthood have included many years of solid, Christian counseling, the loss of two children in the womb, medical issues of one of her children, and some more self-induced issues. Her hope is to persuade others to dive in to a deep love relationship with Jesus, even while in the midst of great pain. Alecia shares her life with her best friend and husband Brian and their “Fab 5:” Sierra, Serenity, Summit, Venture, and Ranger. Journey and Eternity are lovingly awaited in Glory.

Andrea Onah always had the desire to marry the man of her dreams one day. In her extremely organized mind, Andrea determined this event was to occur in her early thirties, not before, but certainly not after! But instead of the fairy tale wedding she dreamed of, Andrea got a broken heart and no marriage. It was during this period in her life Andrea decided to search for God, who she discovered had always been with her during her unhealthy relationships with the wrong men. Unbeknown to her, God had been taking her through a step by step journey. This included placing a burden in her heart to encourage and give confidence to women especially Christian single women. While recognizing there are several happily, fulfilled single women who are entirely comfortable with their status, Andrea recognizes the many who, year after year, become increasingly frustrated and even discouraged about their singleness. Through the years Andrea has listened to and interacted with many single women and empathizes with many issues these women face including loneliness, unforgiveness, 'forbidden' sex and socio-economic pressures from a media obsessed world. Today, Andrea is happily married to her wonderful husband who she believes is God’s greatest gift to her, well worth waiting for! In her column, Andrea helps ignite your faith as she shares her firsthand experience of singlehood candidly and with humor. Come and join her as she helps ignite your faith by asking the question to all Christian Single Women ... Are you Single'd out for the Blessing?
