The SW30: Day 5 ~ The Biggest Misconception You Think People Have About Single Life

I really am not sure where to start on this one. . .

I guess we can go back to something that I said in yesterday's post. A lot of people feel like single people don't have a fulfilling life or that it lacks purpose. I know I'm not making this up :-/. I've seen enough tweets, statuses and comments to know that this is the case.

I know for a fact that there are women who will stay in pointless relationships (situations where they're being disrespected, etc.) just because they "don't want to be alone." I don't know what it is that causes them to be unaware of their worth. Or maybe they know what they deserve and are simply disregarding it. Either way, they are not being fair to themselves by remaining in a detrimental situation. Healthy relationships should inspire you and help you to grow- not make you always feel drained.

I think people should realize that singles can have (healthy, clean) fun without a significant other. They can hang out with friends/family or just go to events alone.

Like I said yesterday. . . this life is what you make it. If you're always complaining about things- having a boyfriend won't make it any more enjoyable. If you choose to appreciate even the little things in life, you can be happy regardless of your relationship status.

Don't give in to the hype! IF you already are, continue but if you're not-> choose to live a full life today!

7 Revelations for 37

I really was trying to get through this birthday- well- get away with not writing anything specific, but all of a sudden, ideas started flowing. So. . . Here are 7 Revelations that I am trying to be mindful of as I go through Year 37. 1. Proverbs 4:23 is a command (not a suggestion). It reads, "Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life (AMP)." Other translations say to keep or guard your heart. . . In other words, be selective and protect it. Watch what you allow to enter your heart. Seeds may be planted by various circumstances, people with whom you interact, etc. but you do not need to allow everything to take root. Things like bitterness, frustration, and envy will try to find a home within you. Beware: Whatever you allow to take root in your heart will be reflected through your actions! 2. This goes right with Point #1. Be willing to have uncomfortable conversations. Clearing the air can also help to keep your heart [and spirit] c...

The Unexpected Temptation

I know. . . It's been time for me to write something new.🙈 However, coming across this video from Jackie Hill Perry to prompted me to actually get this post out. One line pierced my heart. "When you have a gift that involves words, one of the ways the enemy will tempt you is to be silent." Wow! I hone stly think silence is one of the last things that comes to mind when people think of temptation. According to Oxford Languages, the definition of temptation is the desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. I can hear someone asking, "How can silence be wrong or unwise?" Oh. . . Hold on for just a minute and it will come together. There are times when our obedience [to speak] may be the key to someone else's blessing . Your words and actions could essentially provide healing for your brother or sister in Christ! In the book of Revelation, we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.....

I Almost. . . But I Didn't!- October 11, 2011

I almost forgot what I was worth. . . almost forgot that He loved me first but He reminded me. Things almost got out of hand. I almost walked out of His Will. . . His plan for me! Yet, He loved me! So much so, that He sent messages to me. Whether it was through a still, soft voice Or a gentle nudge to make the right choice. I heard it. I felt it. I heard Him say. . . Don't listen to the world’s sweet nothings. Everything's not gold- just because it glistens. I've created you for myself . I want to be your love, your joy. . . your help. When will you realize how much I love you? What more do I have to do?! I've given you strength, health and life. I can take what’s wrong and make it right. Don't sell yourself short! How I feel for you is in my Word. You’re wonderful beautiful fearfully made The love I have for you will never fade. Don’t let the world distract you. Simply set your affections on the things that are true Lovel...
