I needed your mom when I was 18. I married my crush and he broke my heart. I've been with hubby #2 for 24 years on Feb 29, 2016 but I wish I had THIS video. I would've waited.
Jamie, I'm in my 40's and when I was in my twenties I was very happy and content being single. I am the oldest of my siblings and both of my younger siblings got married right after high school. I was happy and loved my independence so very much but when I turned 25 all my friends had children and I so desired a baby. I KNEW I was not ready for marriage I didn't desire marriage but I desired a baby. I too prayed at young age for a good husband but I rushed God's plan for me and took things into my own hands and married a guy I had just met and well, of course before our first year of marriage we separated and I had a baby and then got divorced. So, then I was a single mom and it wasn't until I was 35 when I met this wonderful man and he changed my perspective of men and marriage and after two years of dating we married and have been happy for the past five years of our lives. Yes, I finally found my happiness and if I had not taken things into my own hands maybe we would have met earlier. Jamie, you be you and enjoy everything because when you do meet the person God has for you the waiting will all be worth it. Our lord Jesus, will send you a God fearing man who will love, respect, cherish, and support you. To all who are single God is good we just need grow in a relationship with him and that's how we will grow as a person and a good christian.
Thank you jamie so much for being such an amazing example for younger girls. I'm a 17 year old girl and I'm seeing all my friends getting boyfriends and getting engaged and I'm feeling rushed into haveing a boyfriend, not much wanting one, but feeling the need to have one. it sounds silly but watching your videos it helps me remember that it's all in God's hands and i don't need to worry and just to enjoy my life in the here and now.
Amen💕 This came to me at the exact right time. My bestie just got into a relationship and I feel like I'm the only one in my friend group who's not looking for guys. Your video made me think of all the amazing memories I've had with my church over this summer. I'm actually crying a lil bit😆 Thank you for everything you do Jamie🎵 love you xx🎉💕
This was exactly what I needed to hear right now. I've been struggling with the things you talked about in here even though it hasn't been difficult for me not to want to date before and hearing your message helped me so much, thank you Jamie Grace
Jamie Grace, You have no idea how much I needed to hear that message this week. I love your music and "Just a Friend" is one of my favorite songs. I have spent a long time under the impression that like the guy friends that I have "should be" possible people to date, but I've never felt it in my heart to force relationships. They're just friends. Thank you so much for offering girls (of all ages) this AMAZING godly advice. I personally found it so helpful and encouraging. I love your videos! :)
I love how God speaks through you, Jamie!! ❤ I agree with every word you said, and also, I need to share this with a few friends 😉 I'm only 14 and all my friends are going through breakups and stuff and I'm just over here waiting for the right guy (I might have already found him...)! Keep shining girl!! 😘
Thank you Jamie. I watched this video a few years ago and now I need it again but I’m just really happy to vibe encouraged in my singleness. Thanks again♥️
I've come back to this video multiple times just to be reminded of you (and your parents') wisdom. Thank you for your encouragement to all girls waiting, Jamie!
Really loved this video. Also loved your analogy of how if you would've eaten the cheeseburger pie before it was ready you would've gotten sick, the same way that you would get "sick" or not end up in a good situation if you didn't wait on God for the right person to marry, but just went and married the first person that had interest in you. You're such a good example for young girls!
Jamie, thank you so much for sharing this. I'm 23, and I can't believe you just nailed everything I've learnt in the last several months! I so love hearing your Jesus heart through these videos. You're a blessing.
You made me cry like a baby!! Once again you were able to take an ordinary life experience to graciously speak His heart! Thank you Jamie for being the vessel God often uses to speak life into me!
Jamie Grace is probably the only RU-vidr who would dare say these things, and that's why we love her! Does anyone else feel like this is the only channel on RU-vid that is actually safe (and also uplifting)?
this was an amazing video! I too am 23 and single and I soooo agree with all that you said. I didn't take care of my heart in the past and never looked at things with intent in mind, and I really broke my own heart that way. I love that word Intention, and it will be my new philosophy. Thanks for these videos!
Lol, I really think she has her head on straight. She's absolutely right! If more women thought like this there wouldn't be so much domestic violence going on. Not to mention connecting with the wrong guy that is a fake phone book bible carrying Christian. Listen to her she's making a lot of sense people.
Jamie, thanks for this encouraging message 😀 i recently have a crush who sees me as just a friend and now ik that is not such a bad thing. It's a blessing for right now since im only 16. you helped me see that. Thanks 💙 God Bless
Thank you so much! I've been struggling a lot with this, I've been single my entire life and I'm a junior in college, so it's hard when friends younger than me are getting married. But you reminded me that I need to trust the Lord and go by his timing not my own, thank you Jamie!
I know you posted this years ago, but I just wanted to say that your such an inspiration. I'm 18 and I'm feeling the preasure as a lot of my friends are in long time relationships and I'm still a single Pringle. I really needed this video and I will always think about my intentions. Honestly keep doing what you do, cause you are definitely an encouragement to all Christian girls/women.
Thanks for doing this video Jamie Grace! I really needed someone that is in their early twenties and to talk about marriage. I'm in the 9th grade and I always wonder to myself, "will i ever have a boyfriend; will i ever get married towards the future with my anti-socialness(it's not even a word)?" When my mom told me about you and how I have the same attitude like you, I really thought she was joking but now as I'm watching your videos and I just "fall in love" with them and by me watching your videos help me. When you talked about in one of your videos that you are anti-social, like my mouth just drop because I'm like that and I'm working on it and as I watch more of your videos I feel like God is opening doors for me all the time. When I get older I want to be a strong believer and go to missionary trips, go to women's conferences and etc., and at the same time just be like you. The reason why I'm typing this is because I have no older sister to look up to and I wish that you can be my "big sister" but your not, but you are my sister in Christ and that's better than nothing. When you said that your mom tells you that their are always two sides to a problem in the video "#5 Friendship hurts" that just made me melt because my mother tells me the same thing. Can you please read this because I want this to be an encouragement to make more videos. (I know we don't know each other and you might think I'm wired just let me know and I'll just get out of your way.) PS. I love your videos!
There is so much wisdom flowing out from you. May God bless you and increase the spirit of wisdom in you and the knowledge of Him as you turn pages and live out each chapter of you life.
You're so awesome! I absolutely love the message that you gave in this video, and I'm so glad that God has put those types of intentions in your heart. By the way, I love your sense of humor. :D You are an inspiration in my life, and in my younger sister's lives. God Bless You!
hey Jamie. Thanks for the empowerment. I'm 12 and even though I can't date yet I still have the crush problem. This was extremely helpful, on point! Thanks again!!!! P.S. Is that your hair?
Love how you are teaching the youth about Christ and all of those great things they need to know in such a fun way. You are super awesome girlie! Keep it up. God bless :)
This is so good. I loved it. :) God Bless you Jamie. P.S. And I can see partly why you are still single, this is such an amazing ministry that God has you doing that so many are anxious or worried in. So keep it up, and yeah God's awesome enough to bring a good one. Thank you for posting!
Thank you Jamie!!!!! I seriously needed this today. Not for the really on the subject on dating or marriage but in enjoying life now! I know God has huge plans for me. I've been struggling with finding what I want to do with my life....finding my passion and how I'm going to live my life for him. I still have no idea what that is or when I will find out but from your video I know that I shouldn't rush Him because it will make me sick and that I am not ready to know my future. I feel so much better and satisfied to just live and enjoy life now. THANK YOU!!!!! XOXO Much love, Charlotte
Thank you Jamie Grace for this. I'm 16 and this can be a real struggle when some of my friends have boyfriends and girl friends. But this video helps to put my focus back on God. Love you lots! You are such an amazing example to me. 😊
I LOVEE this video...I just love the way God used you to speak to me, It was just what I needed!! May He keep using you in even more beautiful ways Jamie Grace!
That word intention seems to help us decide whether to move forward or stand still. Either way it's life changing. I remember asking a friend's boyfriend what his intentions were and he proposed to her.
You are so inspiring! Thanks for sharing! I love your quirkiness I wish we could be best friends😂😂! Praying for you as you go through your walk with Christ!
This video and some of your others i jave really enjoyed and found very helpful. Thank your parents for me. I had my boys watch this because i thought it was so good they are 12 snd 13. They were like mom that was for girls. Lol well i hope understood what i was trying to show them in it.
epic video jamie . loved it , so encouraging . thank you for sharing it . all the things you said were so true , and i believe God spoke to me thru you . thank you for showing the world , girls like this still do exist n we are happy just they way we are . and have learned to be silent until God shows the right person :)
Jamie, This video is just amazing! I don't even have the words to explain how great this is and how I felt like you were speaking right to me with some of this. You are seriously my role model. :D ~Adriana G.
You are so right, it's hard not to just grab someone. But it's better to wait bad things happen when we get desperate. I love the uncooked food analogy. I've hovered over a meal too lol.
I thank God for you, girl! I can relate to you in so many ways. I am making 23 this year and been single for as long as I can remember. Wait on the Lord while praying and enjoying the party.
Haha I just went and deleted all my man crush monday posts haha thanks for the conviction Jamie lol. I just always saw it as a joke lol. I've never dated and I'm waiting till I know myself better. Right now 'm nineteen and God is teaching me so much :)
The cheeseburger casserole story really hit me. We need to trust God . He knows what he is doing for us. This really showed me how important it is to sit back and let Him do his job.
