The SW30: Day 6 ~ Every Woman Has the Exact Love Life She Wants


This is an interesting quote but I don't believe that it's 100% true. I know that not every woman has the love life that they want. Some feel hopeless. They may become desperate and try to fill the "void" they believe is in their life with anything they can find or with people who seem to express the smallest amount of interest in them.

Personally, I do understand the point of this statement. We all have the ability to frame our lives-> what we want to accomplish, where we want to go, etc.  And as with any process, it is very possible to redefine things as we see fit.

Right now, I am enjoying my life.  It mainly consists of church, work, family/friends and L.O.V.E.  As busy as I am- sometimes I just like to do nothing haha!  I like being able to decide to jump up and go or just relax at home with a good book or movie.

In general, I believe that we show others how to treat us. (Of course, some people will just do whatever they want but anyway. . .)  I'm learning more and more about what I deserve and the true meaning of happiness.  I'm realizing that if I can't be happy by myself, there's a very slim chance that I'll be able to help make anyone else happy.

I always tell people that it's important to be good to yourself.  If you try to be everything to everybody, you WILL run yourself ragged. I'd rather be able to choose to rest than be forced to.  So while I love to help others, I have to look out for myself.

Okay- forgive me and let me get back on topic (lol).

We show others what our priorities are and what we believe we deserve. So I do think that I'm framing the love life that I'd appreciate.

First, {Singing} "God is the joy and the strength of my life." Seriously though. . . I know that without Him, I am nothing. I want my life to be a meaningful sacrifice/offering to Him. My prayer is that if I'm with someone, they'll understand that, appreciate me for it and encourage me in my walk with Him.

I have standards and realistic expectations.  I value my time and do not try to entertain foolishness. So basically, if a dude wants to approach or pursue me. . . he needs to come correct. It takes both parties to have a successful relationship. I'm willing to [do the] work with them.

I really think I could go on for a while about this statement but maybe I'll save part 2 for the future.

To sum it all up. . . Love yourself first! That will show others how to love you! If someone proves that they are worthy of your love, be willing to work with and cherish them. I think that's how you can receive the love life that you want.

In the meantime, here's a song that describes how I feel (at the moment) almost perfectly. . .

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..

Let It Go {One Year of Freedom}

"...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." - Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)  **If you don't get anything else out of this post, I pray that you realize. . . you really can do all things through Christ - especially when your desire is to please Him! He will strengthen you to walk uprightly before Him.** ---------- Believe me when I say. . . Knowing what you need to do is very  different from actually doing it. Sometimes it is difficult to do what we know is right. That's where I found myself, in November and December of 2022. Let me take you back. . . As a single woman (just in case anybody needs clarification 😉), I was opening myself up to meeting guys and getting to know them when I crossed paths with  Royal . Initially, we seemed to have quite a few things in common: faith, a desire to serve our communities, a strong love for our families, and. . . a way with words. (*insert face

Hydrangea Revelations

 A few months ago, I brought home a hydrangea bush. Now. . . don't be deceived or confused. I do NOT claim to have a green thumb.🤣 However, I'm proud to say that I've managed not to completely kill the entire thing. This plant has honestly brought a couple of lessons or revelations to the forefront of my mind. . . A good while ago, I completely fell off of any sort of watering schedule. One night, I walked into my living room and every leap was drooping. The plant just looked sad! My immediate thought was to throw the whole thing away. Instead, I thought again. . . I decided to water it & see what would happen in the morning. The next day, I walked out and it looked new!  Everything was upright!  Job 14:7-9 came to mind. . . "At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail. Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water, it will bud and put forth shoots lik
