Kimberly Campbell

“I am a married girl living in Durham, NC.  You may ask why a married girl is writing for Our Single Purpose?  I love single women and didn’t get married till I was almost 35.  God has given me a passion for seeing women live their lives for the glory of God no matter in which stage they are.  I love to write, photograph, read, speak, and cook.  I love being a wife to my worship pastor husband and will welcome a baby boy into the world in September.  God has been extremely gracious.”
