“When Lord? When will I get asked out? When will a guy like me? When will I have my chance at love? When will I meet my husband?”
I wish I could say that I walk through the season of singleness with a heart full of hope, bursting with thankfulness to God and embracing every moment for His sake. Some seasons, yes. Some seasons I love being single. Some seasons I am totally content and satisfied...
I wanted to share 5 specific things that the Lord has laid on my heart to pray for my future husband… Obviously there are so many things you can pray for that are specific to the men in your life, by no means is this an exhaustive list! But my hope is that this will encourage and spur you on to pray for specific things regarding your guys’ hearts, minds and souls.
Here are 5 things that I...
What You Can Do For Your Men
For a month now I have been going through the book “How to Pray for Your Future Husband” by Robin Jones Gunn. (Remind you I’m not married or am I even dating for that matter!)
One quote by her I’ll never forget though. It said, “Ladies, pray for your men. Satan’s game plan is to take down the leaders, the men. Only God’s Spirit can draw a man to seek Him and free him to be the man, and leader...
Future Husband..
“And He said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.”
Matthew 22:37-38
“The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear Him, and He makes known to them His covenant” Psalm 25:14
When I was 15 I wrote a list of character traits I hoped my future husband would have. The first one on...

Take The Risk
We take risks everyday. Board airplanes. Drive cars. Ride the bus. And yet we act like it’s nothing.
Your putting your life on the line and yet the person next to you doesn’t know the love of Jesus Christ… Wether you like it or not were not going to be here forever. You never know when your going to leave this Earth. Are you following your assignment right now? Or are you just waiting till...

"Giving God the Pen"
Okay, I’m going to finally begin my self-given task of jouranaling while I continue to spend more time studying God’s Word. Tonight is my first step!
As much as I hate to admit it, I struggle with the topic of ”singleness”, but the last year and a half of being single I must say God has shown me so much! God has intervened in my life and has tugged at my heart, an has shown me how to trust Him...

What I look for in a man
A man who is a follower of Christ.
A man who will encourage me to keep pursuing God.
A man who shows compassion for others.
A man who is comfortable praying with me.
A man who cares for “the least of these.”
A man who loves children.
A man who is forgiving and able to admit when he’s wrong.
A man who has a positive outlook on life.
I’m doing my best to be the kind of woman who...

Just another topic of singleness
I know God has given me this time as a single woman because He’s preparing me for something. I’m getting to know His heart on a deeper level than I have before and He’s showing me new things. He’s showing me the really beautiful things in life. He’s showing me what to look for in a partner. He’s showing me how to treat others so that, someday, I will be a wonderful wife and mother. He’s showing me...
I want a Job 29 kind of man
Date a guy who aims to be a Job 29 Man. Do you know the characteristics of a Job 29 Man? Well.. Let me tell you.
He is the kind of guy who would rather stay at home reading his bible and spending time with God worshiping Him than to be out partying with a group of friends on a Friday night.
He is the kind of guy who constantly longs for God’s presence and who walks closely with Him. He...

To Love
I can’t find words that do Him justice. Instead, I’ll keep this to a few disjointed thoughts and pray that if God knocks on your door this week, you’ll answer. Thank you, as always, for reading and being part of my journey.
You were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.
- Galatians 5:13

Purpose
It’s easy to be dissatisfied with where we’re at. God has each of us in a certain place doing certain work with certain people. We so often want bigger,better,even just different. We have dreams and can’t understand why our present situation is necessary. What we have to realize is, God wants us to be faithful and consistent in the small,boring,hard, or undesirable things in life before we take on...
I Carry Your Heart With Me..
I’m not convinced that relationships ever really end. Even when one person says “it’s over” and both people move on. We reach this point and our environment pressures us to pretend like the people of our past never existed. We’re encouraged to write our ex’s off as crazy and “just forget about them.” At the very least, we’re expected to stop loving them.
I see things differently.
For me I love...
Winning the "Am I Good Enough?" Game
I wasted too much of my life playing the “am I good enough?” game.
I constantly compared myself to other women and felt inadequate if they appeared better than me. This was not only devastating to my confidence and self-worth, but impossible to win. There will always be someone prettier, smarter, better dressed, and more talented than me.
We attempt to fill the void of insecurity in...
A Selfless Heart
I mentioned in a conversation that I won’t be dating again until my heart’s aligned with God’s heart. Shortly after the conversation was cut off due to poor connection. I received an e-mail from that someone asking for an explanation. I could not answer the inquiry concisely, so I’ll respond with this post.
Relationships should be about giving. People often say that relationships are “give...

The King of Kings Calls Me His Child
If I had to choose one struggle that has held me captive for too much of my life, it would be worrying about what others think of me.
I used to think this struggle came from not fitting in, or not being good/smart/pretty enough, but that is simply not true. My problem was not a lack of talent or intelligence… It was a failure to recognize who I am.
We live in a society that tells us joy comes in...
Can I Trust You?
I’ve been thinking about what it means to trust God.
I often forget how big God really is. I shrink Him down by making myself the center of everything. But, in actuality, God is the center of it all and I’m a very small part. I forget that I worship the same God who parted the Red Sea, changed Aaron’s rod into a serpent, and instructed Noah to build an ark. I forget that I worship a God who...

Love, Love, Love
The inspiration, support, and joy that I receive from falling in love with God far surpasses all Earthly comforts.
God offers a security that cannot be found in money, health, popularity, romance, beauty, or anyone or anything else that is not God Himself. He loves us completely and unconditionally. His favor is based on His mercy, not on our efforts.
God knows every outcome of every decision...
God Is Love
In a moment of sheer desperation, I found myself writing this entry in my prayer journal:
God, You love me. Unconditionally. I am whole in You. I can rest in You. I have strength in You. I find peace in You. I love you. Unconditionally.
Some of our most beautiful and raw prayers come in simple forms. I love reflecting on my prayer journal and seeing how I pleaded for grace and God allowed...

Broken Hearts & The Beautiful Things
If there’s one thing I know to be true, it’s this: The best things don’t come when life is easy. We all experience things that aren’t supposed to happen. Things that happen at inopportune times. Things that happen when we’re unguarded and unprepared. Things that happen when we don’t have any time, money, or patience to spare. And when these things happen, we have two choices. We can invest...
