Marriage is a precious gift that couples sometimes take for granted. Did you know God wants your marriage to be healthy and wants you to prosper as a couple? This is difficult to do when we get in the way of our own happiness. We should be suitable helpers to our spouse and be reminded of what God says in Genesis 2:24 “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” The one flesh concept, sometimes gets lost in most marriages. We complain and look for what’s not…

You never know what to expect in the dating game. It has it’s ups and downs, it’s challenges and it’s rewards. I have been blessed though. No, I have not found that special one yet, but I won’t complain. I’ve dated a few guys (nothing serious) and although romantic relationships weren’t in God’s plan for us, we remained friends. One of which is my best friend. How cool is that? Whether you’re single and ready to mingle or taking a break from the dating scene, there’s a lesson to be learned. Here’s what I’ve learned as a single woman: 1. Leave a man for God, but never leave…
The world of dating is full of uncertainty. “Should I reply to this message?” “Should I flirt back?” “Should I try a second date?” Sometimes we find ourselves swept away in the possibility of a new relationship, only to find ourselves dropped out the other end of a dump truck. If there’s anything that could have protected us a little more from heartbreak, it’s probably a different set of boundaries. Talking about boundaries seems daunting.

Your relationships should add to your relationship with God, not take the place of it.
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…

Have you ever prayed, “Lord, show me if He’s the One! And if he’s not, remove him from my life!” If so, I’m here to tell you those words are not the best way to recognize your Boaz. Here’s why: Most women who pray this are leaving it up to some supernatural sign, when God wants you to have wisdom and discernment so you can make the best choice. They say things like: He prayed over his food, so I figured he’s a God-fearing man I’ve never had a man quote scripture to me to encourage me before. He must be…
What a precious baby girl! …Wait. She belongs to my old college roommate? No way! …Wait. Did I miss her wedding? As I curiously stalk my old roommate on Facebook I realize I hadn’t missed anything. Not even an engagement. Just the reality of another friend cohabiting with her boyfriend. Once I asked a woman close to her due date how many children she would have. She said this one was number 3, that she and her boyfriend were overjoyed, and only blessing could follow. I congratulated her, smiled, and was saddened all at the same time. Other than the…
Out of all the men in the world, I am glad I have the one I have. Sure, we have our differences, and I am certain we can get on each other’s last nerve, but when all is said and done, we bring out the best in one another. What we have works. I am grateful for that. But let’s talk a little bit more about the times when we get on each other’s last nerve.

Don’t rush your season, God has you there for a reason.
In the wake of engagement season, the blossoming of flowers and the ever so present visits of pollen, single women have found themselves both congratulating and wishing. Being happy for friends and family who are taking that next step in life, but wishing that it was their time. I can’t tell you how many times I have had conversations with friends about how we’re happy with God and YouTube videos, but then there’s that one post. That post that makes you get down on your knees and ask the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob why you’re still single. When…
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.
