Lorraine is a passionate teacher, speaker, and guide for single women navigating the ache of unfulfilled dreams. For decades, she served faithfully—ministering, staying sexually pure, and walking uprightly before God. But behind the smile was a woman silently suffering. By 40, the life she envisioned, marriage, children, companionship, had not come. What followed was a quiet, functional depression. Still showing up, still serving, but grieving deeply. She wasn’t suicidal, but like Elijah under the broom tree, she welcomed the thought of it all being over. The promise in Psalm 84:11 that “no good thing will He withhold” felt like a cruel joke. God wasn’t shielding her heart—He was, in her eyes, shattering it. And yet, even in that wilderness of unanswered prayers and aching hope, a deeper revelation was being born.
My Story
In that pit of quiet despair, the very verse that once felt like mockery became a lifeline. God illuminated the moments when He had, in fact, shielded her from toxic relationships, from detours that would have derailed her destiny. He revealed that His withholding wasn’t punishment, but protection. His grace had always been present, and His glory had been quietly shaping her story. Though marriage is a gift, it wasn’t the right one for that season—not for the woman He was molding for a greater mission.
In 2014, that mission began to unfold. With no credentials in singles ministry but a lifetime of lived experience, Lorraine was asked to speak at a retreat she had once attended. God filled her with supernatural clarity, and she delivered six sessions that resonated deeply. Attendees saw themselves in her—grieving, questioning, faithful but frustrated—and felt seen for the first time. That weekend marked the turning point from pain to purpose. She wasn’t overlooked; she was being positioned. The very ache she once begged God to remove had become the anointing oil for her assignment.
