It could be devastating when a relationship ends. You cry yourself to sleep, you question your self-worth, you will have pity party, and it will feel like the end of the world. The good news is, it isn’t. The end of a relationship is just that—end of the relationship. It’s not the end of the world. So get up, say a prayer, wipe your tears and try your best to stay occupied with things that will take your mind off of your heartbreak. Remember… ” an idle mind is the devil’s workshop”. The more you stay busy doing fun things, the things…

Women are creatures capable of loving so much that they are willing to sacrifice their own happiness and needs for the sake of those in need.…
My sister and I were having a conversation about me not dating. I turn everybody down. I don’t give my number out, don’t accept any and I pretty much stay indoors as best as I can. So she asked me why (as she does on a consistent basis) and each time I give her a different answer that sounds reasonable: I’m too busy, he’s not saved, he parties too much… and the list goes on. Truth is, I just didn’t know how to tell her that I had a word from God and dating just isn’t in his plans for…
