I remember the first time I watched that clip in 2015 with a man making this statement “If a woman is over 32, never been married and has no children, something is WRONG with HER!” I was appalled, but if I’m being honest a part of me also thought, well I’m actually 29 right now, so I got few years left! Sad hey, but it’s honestly the truth, in that moment my worth was honestly wrapped up in such an ignorant statement. Now as a 32-year-old woman, thoughts of society honestly often play on my insecurities, so during my devotion yesterday God took me to 1 Corinthians chapter 7. Come on Bible scholars you know this chapter, as single Christians who hope to one day get married, we rather spend all day in the book of Ruth than to venture into Paul’s teachings in Corinthians on how some of us are “called” to be single. However, the revelation God gave me through this chapter is exactly what I needed. Paul basically tells us, it’s better to stay single because we will be able to be dev...

At the beginning of every year, a lot of us ( including me ) declare that this year will be a year filled with an abundance of blessings and favor. It’s like we fall into two categories, people who are hyped up with vision boards and goals and those who are over the cliché of “New Year, New Me” and decide to simply play the year by ear.  Without any shame or guilt, I proudly fall into the category of the optimistic planner.  However the reason I am able to declare this is not because I believe that life is going to “PERFECT” every year, it’s because I have learned that whether a situation brings me pain or joy, as long as I am under the direction of God’s will, He is working it out for my good. Last year I declared that 2017 would be the YEAR of Alignment, if any of you follow ONE Church LA, you would know this was a theme for their year of 2017. At the time I didn’t know what God’s alignment would look like, but God brought the memory back to me that when I was bor...

I was doing my devotion one-day last week and I was having one of those struggley days in this season of singleness and I was in need of some encouragement. I needed God to remind me that He didn't forget about me. God said I NEED you to go through this season, it is critical to where I am taking you, this is the season before you are found. That's when he gave me the title "The Season Before I was Found". God then dropped Gail's name in my spirit to feature on my blog under this title. And although Gail and I were cool, a part of me still wasn't quite sure, I was the one that needed to release this story. But I knew I had to be obedient, so I reached out to Gail.   That conversation when I invited Gail to be this month's feature not only removed every bit of apprehension, it took the friendship we began to build back in 2013 to a new level. After doing this blog and stalking through Gail's pictures lol. I realized Gail was around from 2010. Very una...

Let’s face it being SINGLE on Valentine’s Day has it fair share of emotions. You often dread going out in public or even going on social media, because it’s almost impossible to not be met with a smidge of jealousy. And if you allow it, this man-made Holiday can eventually send you into straight depression. However if you trust God to bring you your mate, you have to remember that His timing is perfect. If you’re waiting on a foundation of purpose then trust the process, because if He connects you with your partner in purpose before you are ready it will be ruined. Everything you are going through now is preparing you for the heart that is meant to love you!  So don’t let the social media frenzy of those in love consume you. Whether you’re struggling to let go of someone from your past, or you’re asking God why He is taking so long to bring someone new into your future, STOP worrying! Trusts me when I tell you those obsessive thoughts won’t make you feel any better. As a s...
