Are you praying for a husband? A better question would be… are you allowing fear to block your blessing of a husband?
Sometimes we try to hold on to people for a lifetime, when God put them in our life for a season.
In order for a Christ-built relationship to form, each of these pillars must be mature enough at least to bear the brunt of carving in order to make it better.
Of course there are many, many more questions to ask when dating someone but I’d definitely highlight these as being amongst the top questions.
A woman meets a man and she finds herself intrigued. They get to know each other and this man is simply everything she could hope for. Great guy, good-looking, and she recognizes a connection exists. She finds herself developing feelings for this man and wanting to be in his presence. She then begins to feel nervous and uncomfortable. How can this man be so great? She thinks this is simply too good to be true. These feelings make her feel like she isn’t in control, and she starts to feel vulnerable. So many people have hurt her in the past,…
Marriage is a beautiful thing. Don’t be ashamed to pray about it. Here are some of my current prayer strategies that you can use as well.
The other day I was thinking about some of the relationships I was in, that DIDN’T work out. One would think I wouldn’t have been so blinded by “love” to recognize these guys clearly weren’t “the one” for me. I guess in my case, it took meeting “the one” for me to recognize the difference from God writing my love story versus a bootleg script crafted by Yours Truly. Stevie is the one for me and I knew it since day 1. However, here are some things HE did along the way that confirmed we were meant to be. Is…
There are many women of faith that have gone in prayer and asked “God where is my Boaz?”. There are many churches that have preached to single women to continue waiting for your Boaz. Yet despite all of your efforts, Boaz has not come, and frustration has taken his place. This can seem so unfair, but maybe there is a very good reason this blessing has been delayed. What could possibly be hindering the process? What could you, as a woman of God, be overlooking while you continue to wait on your Boaz? 1. You’re Scared of Being Vulnerable Life…
Dating and relationships can be tough at times. It isn’t always easy navigating through all the nonsense and figuring who is truly best for you. There are so many factors to consider, but ultimately the most important factor is God. Getting his guidance on the matter is essential when you’re trying to position yourself to receive what is best for you. However, it isn’t always a simple process because hearing Him correctly is a work in progress for most. If that wasn’t hard enough to deal with, now you have to also consider the impact of family, friends, and possibly…
Are you holding on To relationships that are holding you back? God knows who belongs in your life and who doesn’t. Whoever is meant to be there, will stay there.
Physical attraction will only get you so far… Here are 12 Christian Qualities to look for in mate.
What would you change if you could go back in time? I’m sure we’ve all thought through that question at some point or another. For me in particular, the whole area of love and relationships is one that I wish I could go back and “tweak”. There is much I wish I would have known, much I wish I could have done differently, so many lies I wish I wouldn’t have believed. But I can’t go back- and you know what, that’s okay. Because through the process of finding love I’ve learned a lot. My eyes have been opened to a lot…

When there is greatness on the horizon, the devil will always send “The Counterfeit Man”. His witty methods are designed to block blessings, good juju, and a great man, but when God has something amazing for you, it will go beyond your comprehension. I am sure you are wondering who is the counterfeit man? The counterfeit man is any man who distracts, delays, interrupts, or totally obstructs God’s plan for the single woman’s life. God’s plan for the single woman’s future is often hindered when she becomes involved with “The Counterfeit Man” I found myself in an all wrong relationship when I…
“Why Am I Still Single?”… Sometimes the enemy uses this question to get us in a desperate place. Don’t fall for it!
As we approach the month of April I am reminded of the time I fasted from men for an entire month. I made this decision, because I was an emotional wreck over a relationship that was a total mess. It in turn left me a mess. I went from being confident and focused to feeling rejected and unloved. It was the beginning of 2014, and I had hit a low point already. I desperately needed something different than what I had been experiencing, and I knew only God could fix me. During the month of March 2014, I was really…
Type the word “dating” into your bible search tool and what comes up? Nothing. When I was single, I remember wishing there was an entire book of the bible dedicated to the topic, or at least even a chapter. But though Scriptures are filled with foundational life-changing truths, there are still some topics that are left untouched when it comes to finding a biblical perspective. In fact, I have to chuckle to myself whenever someone asks me to give a “biblical” perspective on dating. Not only is there nothing said about the topic, but the concept of dating didn’t even…
I couldn’t believe it happened to me. My first heartbreak came from a man of God. He was actually the son of a preacher, with aspirations to lead his own flock one day. Out of all the silly, mediocre relationships I’d been in that amounted to nothing, I just knew I had hit the jackpot when I started dating my man of God. I just knew we’d get married and live happily ever after. Why? Because, he was a Christian man. He wouldn’t leave me. He wouldn’t break my heart. Blah blah, blah… I can’t decide what hurt me the…
