Don't Give Up On Love, Because Love Won't Give Up You!

As I am in my single life, I tend to get doubtful when I see other couples and I am not in a relationship myself. I think in to myself, "Where is he at, when will I receive the man that God has made for me". Through my waiting I have to constantly remind myself that what God has for me is for me. Can't nobody take what He has established for me. I still believe that he is out there and I will be waiting for him. I also learn, as I am waiting, God is further strengthening  and developing me into the wife I need to be. I do not want to get go into relationship with a "just cause" reasoning. I have a vision and a plan for myself. I believe the reason why I am still waiting because my intentions of a relationship is not just for a moment, but for a life time. I am too valuable to be played with. Since God has not given up on me, I will not give up on Him.

Filter The Love Songs Please!

             Ok, so it is ture that we all love love songs. They speak the words that we can't always say, but why do some love songs have to be so filthy? I mean, I understand you are expressing love, but some of the stuff that's said, it can be said in a private matter. Let's be real, the world does not need to know you want to have sex with this person, it's evident that you love them just by your desperation in your song. Now, music can really have an impact for us singles. We can't just listen to anything because we know that our mind will go into a world of craziness, we have to learn how to keep our mind pure so we can preserve such thoughts for the spouses God will send to us.

         Now, I love songs that simply reveal the elegance of love between a couple, but I don't need all the physicality and craziness. I think is good to honor marriage through song, not when your are not married and fooling around. I believe love songs are important and needed, especially in a state where divorces are at a high. Just be careful what is said, not everything is filtered, some of theses love songs are just straight dirty. Now, it is true that some artists may make clean love songs and explicit love songs. I know when I began to officially begin my song writing career as well as writing worship songs, I will be writing love songs too.  However, to give you a taste of what a true love song here is a artist I like by the name of Robin Thicke, "Sweetest Love". Now, I know not all of his songs are are clean, however, I admire his style and his incredible voice. Enjoy!

Who Are You Loving?

As a single person I am still learning about being patient within this time of waiting. I have been listening to videos of well known pastors speaking about the real meaning of marriage. A lot of us just want be in a relationship because we are lonely, not having a real goal or vision to want to be with the person. In addition, we are not even fully developed to be in a relationship, so like a baby being born too early, we go into a relationship prematurely. Not only that we even abuse the gift that God has giving us and have sex outside of marriage. WAIT! We need to learn to control ourselves and not let our bodies get the best of us. The more we love God, the more He satisfies. A preacher once said, "It's not safe sex, it's save sex".

Interracial Relationships

    Since the thought of racism has been floating around lately, I would like to bring up the topic of interracial dating. How many people do you know will date outside of their race? Some people say they would, while some people say they would not. Personally, I would not mine myself if God blessed me with a young man outside of my race. I think it's beautiful to see two different worlds come together in love. Now, I am not bashing people who love their race, all I am saying is I would not be objective to dating a man who was not the same race as me. I believe God can bring any two people together. The point I am trying to make is many people look at interracial dating as a bad thing. I believe it is wonderful. For example, there is a beautiful interracial couple in my church, the wife is Africa-American while the husband is Caucasian. They look beautiful together! I just wish people didn't look at interracial relationships negatively, but rather look at it as a gift from God. Just because someone chose to date someone outside of their race does not mean they do not like their race. God may called them to be in a relationship with someone not of their race. Instead of looking at interracial relationships from a negative perspective, let's embrace the two hearts that God has bought together.

DON'T BE FOOLED

     

 A lot of times as singles we can become inpatient in waiting to be in a relationship. Specifically for ladies, we will go out of our way just to find someone to fulfill us temporarily. The problem is, we don't focus on evaluating our standards and values that we fall for  anything with any guy that looks good. We have to understand, all we have to do is relax and trust God.It is NOT our job to scope and chase out boys and you are NOT desperate! A real queen will wait in patience and expectancy knowing her king is soon to come. Don't fall for any guy, we deserve the best. Check out the video above by Christian rapper Andy Mineo called "Fools Gold" !

A Love Story

Genesis 2:21 says, " God put the Man into a deep sleep. As he slept he removed one of his ribs and replaced it with flesh. God then used the rib that he had taken from the Man to make Woman and presented her to the Man."(The Message Version). Here, God bought Adam and Eve together. Eve didn't go out her own impatience and Adam didn't go out of his own selfish ways to get togetther. As ladies, we should trust God, that He will provide us with the man of our dreams. We should not be going from guy to guy to see if he is what God made for us. We should be developing within our relationship with God and the same for men, God will show you who to approach if you stay close to Him. Just think, in your waiting God is writing your love story and soon you will be able to say "At last!".

Discovering REAL Love

Most of us who are single think if we find that special someone we will be complete. The problem is, we do not understand that people can not fully satisfy us, only God can.  God is jealous when He sees that you place someone else in His place in your life.  Trust in God and let Him be the driver of your life, you will be more than ready and completed to give that special someone that He sends along aside of you what they need and more! Rushing true love is like ordering fast food when you have the opportunity of to be treated to fancy full course meal. Our eyes can deceive us but if we let God do His job He will bring us someone that we never could have imagine! Love God more and He will send you His love back.

No Matter The Wait Or How Long It Takes

So, Valentine's Day was about two days ago and for a single person, it was great! A lot people don't understand that you do not need people to experience love because first you have to love yourself and the One who created you. What good is it for someone to love you when you are not even satisfied with who you are? God has been teaching that in my singleness I am learning to be equipped with the right necessities that I will need when I do get into a relationship. Personally, I am not striving for a relationship that will last a few years, I'm striving for a relationship that will last a lifetime. Therefore, there is a longer wait for me because I need to develop successfully so I can enter my relationship fully completed knowing that I have the necessary attributes needed to satisfy my future husband. So, in my waiting I am getting closer to God knowing that He is pouring into me everything that I need and then some for my future husband.
