When You Know Who You Are
As I continue to grow in my relationship with God, the way that I see myself and how I carry myself has evolved. Although I struggle with my own insecurities from time to time, I am no longer that girl that sits in it. I acknowledge the thoughts, explore within myself why I feel that way, and then kill it with what God says about me, for me, and over me. My relationship with God has taught me to never settle and to keep my standards. If I am honest with you, I can tell you that I have yet to meet a guy that is worth me coming out…

6 IMPORTANT Things To Do As A Single
Being single can be a satisfying and joyous journey to be in when you have the right people in your corner; develop an intimate and personal relationship with God; take on hobbies; learn how to be financially free; understand who you are; and most importantly, be content with your life no matter the season or circumstance. Singleness is not always a simple and easy walk especially when we live in an age where social media is more prevalent than ever before, television shows and movies portray romance after romance, and the constant questions from friends and/or families. For many, singleness is a choice, but for others, like myself, where God…

My “Resume”
To this day, I would sit and find it so surreal that I have never been actively pursued by a guy. I have only been on one date in my entire life and that was earlier this year, never been in a relationship, and never had a boyfriend. It doesn’t make sense. As a 28 year old with an active social life, so many achievements, and things going for her, it has to be the strangest thing especially in a society like today. At times, if I am honest, I find it almost embarrassing to share such a vague resume when the topic of dating and relationships come about. The…

I NOW Desire a Husband
Can we agree that it is by no accident when God places people in our lives? I can provide you countless times when each person that I have come into contact with over the last years has served a great purpose in my life whether the experience was painful [in which I’ve learned from] or one that was filled with joy. This season of my life is no different. I was speaking to a friend while at work a few days ago and through conversation, he shared with me how he met his soon to be wife. He stated that he was not actively looking but he was open to…

Count It All Joy
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4 These past 6 months have been such a trying time but what I am learning as I sit back and reflect is that it takes true spiritual maturity and growth to count it all joy the trials that you face. Having those that I’ve invested time and energy in lie to me and deceive me for months without realizing it at the time, facing financial hardships,…

Learn To Work With What You Got
I am learning that the key to being content and full in life is to work with what you have. For the past 3 years, I have been asking God to open up the door for me to be in a school district with better pay. I enjoy where I work and I like the people that I work with but the cost of living is expensive and my paychecks are slipping through my hands like oil. The amount that I would see every paycheck created frustration, stress, and anxiety. I didn’t like knowing that I couldn’t pay my credit card bills in full because my rent and car…
