The SW30: Day 8 ~ Five Things That Are Most Important To You In A Future Mate



If you know me, you probably already know that I love making lists (lol)! So please believe me when I say narrowing my "list" down to 5 things is not exactly the easiest thing to do. We'll see how this turns out ;-).
  1. The Faith Factor-  It is extremely important to me that he and I understand that we need to love God more than we love each other. I believe that will give our relationship a firm foundation and cause us to focus on pleasing Him more than we try to please ourselves.
  2. Stability/Security- I'm not even going to entertain the idea of a relationship with someone that I don't trust. I have to know that this guy has my best interests at heart and will be consistent. Stability is priceless! I can't be flip flopping- every which way. . . If he's going to lead our family, I have to know that he is spiritually, physically and financially stable. I want to be able to feel safe with him.
  3. A Great Personality- I love to laugh! My sister tries to say that I play too much but I always say that I'd rather laugh than cry so I think that's why I joke a lot. At the same time, I think I do a decent job of knowing when to be serious so I'd love for my guy to be the same way. Be serious when the time calls for it but ultimately be someone that I can have a great time with.
  4. Inspiration/Support- We should be able to motivate/inspire each other to accomplish our dreams and goals. Knowing that a loved one has your back can give you the extra boost that you need to persevere. I hope that we'll be constant sources of encouragement for one another.
  5. The Arts- This goes without saying haha! EVERYBODY knows that I love music. . . I come from a family of musicians (my parents met in high school when they were members of the Gabriel Hardeman Delegation). I could not deal with someone who does not appreciate music.  Besides that, I love the various ways that people can express their creativity- acting, painting, etc. I would love to be able to spend time with someone who would genuinely want to go to exhibits, plays and concerts.
*Okay- that was somewhat of a struggle but I think I did alright ;-). What's on your list?  Leave a comment below!

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...

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...
