Step Out of Your Comfort Zone & Step Out on Faith
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]. (2 Timothy 1:7, AMP). One thing about having a business is being able to market yourself through advertisement and getting out there. As a school psychologist, I spend more than half of my career sitting in meetings with lawyers/attorneys, advocates, supervisors, family members, and friends. I have been in meetings where it has been recorded. And can I tell you that that does not scare me?…

Why Settle?
These past few months have taught me so many things as I continue to navigate this season of singleness with God, and I want to share it with you. Forgiveness One of the things that I have learned has been to be quick to forgive yourself just as God has the moment you ask Him. This scripture, “As far as the East is from the West, so far has he removed our transgressions from us (Psalm 103:12),” brings so much healing to me. God forgives us immediately and remembers our sin no more (Hebrews 8:12). The moment we mess up, our immediate response is to hide and run away…

Why She Still May Be Single in 2024
When you have that intimate and personal relationship with God, you should know that your dating and relationship standards should not be according to the world but according to the Word. One thing that I continue to learn on my singleness journey is to never be afraid of singleness but rather, be afraid of wasting your time committing to a pointless relationship. Even developing a friendship with someone who you know likes you but is not what God has for you is time wasted. You want to be able to grow closer towards God and your goals as you matriculate in life. Anything less is a distraction. As we embark…

Encourage Yourself in the Lord
1 Samuel 30:6 tells us, “And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God,” (KJV). Prior to this exact verse, we read that when David and his men arrived to the town of Ziklag, they found that it was burned and their families were taken into captivity. In this moment, David didn’t immediately say, “I trust in God. My faith is strong. He will make a way where there seemeth to be no way.” David and his men wept (v.4)…

Stay Focused
It is so easy to get distracted and caught up when we face difficulties and encounter frustration. One thing God has been reminding me as we close out 2023 is that the enemy is after your mind, and if he can get your mind, eventually, he can get your life, and that is why it is so important to be aware of what you are meditating on day and night. I know that I have always struggled with my thoughts for as long as I could remember. I tend to focus so much on lack. I don’t have this. I don’t have that. I wish I’ve experienced this. I wish…

Some Truths About My Singleness and Yours
I am single by choice. That is something that I have realized while listening to a sermon at home one Sunday morning. I shared in one of my last blog posts regarding 3-4 guys who have had interest in me this year for some time now. The reason why I never allowed myself to open up to them was because they were not for me. I could tell by the way they carried themselves. I observe character and actions more than anything. As you begin to heal and truly see yourself the way God sees you, understanding your worth and value, your appetite in the kind of person you choose…
