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!

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.....

KCC - Vertical Current's Bright Side of Midnight

*I am super late with this post but. . . better late than never ;-)* I really love good food and good music! So I love being able to combine the two- especially if I also have great company! Saturday- August 2nd was no exception! With the release of their first full-length album, Vertical Current took to the Warmdaddy's stage to celebrate! I was happy to have my girl friend/lil sis there with me! While the members of this exciting band are able to complement one another's strengths, they also bring on guests that seem to add an extra oomph to their shows! To start the night off, the audience was introduced to the group- Ode to Omni ! It was the first time that my friend and I had heard them and we were definitely impressed! Other special guests (who also appear on the album) were Chartel Findlater, Shelia Moser (aka Lee Mo), Rick Tate Jr. and El' Ahmad Barak! Bright Side of Midnight was released on July 29th and it offers 11 tracks of ama...

I Can't Buy It!

"They are trying way too hard." Have you ever watched a tv show/movie or had a conversation with someone and thought that? Sometimes it could be a matter of trying to create a sense of chemistry that isn't there or maybe one person is trying to impress another. It's quite interesting to me. . . I remember having a conversation with my uncle, a few years ago. We were discussing the various ways that people may treat PKs (preacher's kids). Sometimes people feel extremely comfortable talking to me- when they find out that my father is a pastor. ( At times, they become a little too comfortable and I start to feel like their therapist. . . I love to offer encouraging words though. And I appreciate the fact that they trust me enough to share things with me. ) Other people seem to close up. It's as though they think I'll scrutinize their every move :-/. I promise- I'm a sweetheart :-). THEN. . . we have those people who end up being ...
