My mom used to say that when I was five years old, i was already telling people that I wanted to be a wife and a mommy. I am 65 now and never married, no kids and I have never lived with anyone. I also have a twin sister that did get married and had kids. When my biological clock was ticking it was very hard for me, but I survived. I still desire a companion, but I'm pretty Set in my ways :-) I learned that Godliness with contentment, is great gain. I truly have been blessed.
It may happen later in life. Only God knows. I pray your strength in the Lord, and I pray that you grow in His knowledge, wisdom, and insight, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen.
I didn’t believe in “the one”..... that was until I met “my soul mate”.... there is no way I can find someone else like him. When you wait on God.... he will provide “the one”... I think many singles will subscribe to #1 because it’s easier to believe. We can’t seem to understand how God will make it happen. God sent my hus-bae all the way from Europe just for me... so I know it was only God. He didn’t even know why God told him to come to the United States. He was obedient... he didn’t even understand why God told him to learn English (native French speaker). He gave himself 1 year to learn English... and perfected English in 8 months. Singles.... please be teachable... I was walking like I was married way before my love showed up. My house was always clean, I cooked for two and I was preparing in many ways for him. When he showed up I was not fully ready but to be honest I was already preparing. God knows our story from beginning to end... so, of course, there is “the one” we just have to be aligned with God to recognize them.... and it’s never who you think it’s going to be lol... But it will also be everything that you didn't know you needed.
Kay Bell I smiled so hard when I read your comment! I just love this! Truly phenomenal! That’s the way God works! So awesome! Thanks for sharing and many blessings you both 😘🤗🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾
It was actually on IG...I met him a while back on IG, we began following each other for business purposes only....we never spoke for months but simply followed each other. I knew he was in Europe and, to be honest, he was not "my type" nor did he made a pass at me... but there was something VERY different and genuine about him (I remember when I first saw his page I said to myself...I would love to meet this man....I could learn so much from him). Months later, I was scrolling through my timeline when I noticed that he was in DC (typical monument pictures)...I commented under his photo because I was so shocked to see that he was in my city...I mean what are the odds (I never told him where I lived and he had a business meeting in DC). I inboxed him saying "welcome to America...If you are ever in DC again, let me know" (this was so unlike me...I never inbox anyone). We kept in contact via IG and a week later he messages me saying, "I had no intentions on coming back to DC, but I feel like I need to meet you". Later I found out that he was asking God daily..." why did you send me to this country". His business allowed him to work anywhere in the world and the meeting in DC was not worth traveling to the United States. Since the day we've met we have been inseparable. I have to admit initially even when God told me he was the one...I was not having it (I thought I was not ready and this man intimidated me...he had his whole life together and here I was trying to figure my life out after a "failed" business). But even in the midst of my confusion...God had me preparing for marriage...I never told anyone because I thought people would think I was crazy lol. Most people would have said, "girl why are you preparing for marriage when you need to figure out your career". But I now understand why God removed everything from me. I would have been way too busy to recognize the man he had for me. There are so many more details to our meeting that gives God all the glory but this message is long enough lol. I don't think I'll ever get to the point where I believe that Hus-bae is actually a human being. I am convinced that he is an Angel pretending to be a human. My life has always been very interesting from childhood to adulthood and I honestly didn't think there would be a man that truly understood my pain, hurt and fears without me even speaking. He is so intuned with me that even when we are apart he is able to feel when I am not ok. For many reasons I now believe in "The one"...God does not make mistakes...God is progressive...God finishes our story then he goes back to the beginning to help us stay on the path he created. I also believe in RECOMPENSE (the devil will have to pay YOU for every hurt and pain that we have endured). If my husband could create a machine to ensure that I never walk on the ground....he would. But...that's how much God loves us...He will send us a man that his only objective is to OUTLOVE us on a daily basis.
Kay Bell This is truly enchanting thank you for sharing. God is amazing and really does give us our hearts desire. I believe that with all of me. I've encountered several people that crossed paths with their love on IG. I have people tell me all the time I need to put myself out there more. I just don't know how to do it anymore than I already am. I've been praying that God will show me how and give me the patience. Both yours and Mary's testimonies are very inspiring. Have a fantastic day! And many blessing to you and your family. :-)
I believe in the one, I never wanted to get married and I have been married 9 years to the one, I have witnessed her die and come back, I have seen her dying, I never knew sickness and health would hit so hard, she warned me , I never thought I would see anyone on life support especially not my wife but I am grateful to God I have her, she was also a virgin, she is my one, the one I wasn't looking for and now God keeps me on my knees to say thank you for letting me borrow her
Mary this video helped me a lot.Just turned 30 a few days ago, almost everyone I know is getting married but its hard when you are still waiting. Thanks for the video, I have hope😊💙
Tana C I know the feeling! I was there... Seemed like everyone around me was getting married, but me. 😅But, trust me, your time is coming! God is just preparing you to receive his best! Stay encouraged 🙏🏾❤️🤗
Forget the ring I can't even get into a good relationship or any relationship to think about getting married. My biggest problem is that I want to be married before I have sex, which is a problem for men. 36 and a virgin is not very high on the dating scale. But I pray that God will send the right one for me
Mae Mae D right but I’m 22 and every guy always wants sex before marriage or commitment I’m that friend in the group who is wild , who doesn’t go looking for guys or who isn’t in the club I work go home to school and have long random talks with god at this point this generation I grew up in I’d rather be single
Mae Mae D I’m 34 and still a virgin as well so I know what you mean about men not wanting to wait. The wait can be so... draining sometimes. I know that GOD gives me the desires of my heart so I know someday HE will Bless me with my husband. In the meantime I work on bettering myself, I maneuver freely in having fun and going when I want to go, I’ve also learned to love being in my own company. Is everyday easy? Heck no! There are days when it sucks but overall I’m trusting GOD through it.
Sis I believe that God honors all marriage, and there are many couples who are born and destined to be together. My husband and I have know each other since age 15 and we married in our twenties and have been married for 21 years. After 5 years of marriage we we're ready for children but learned that we had infertility issues. We stood on our faith and was Blessed with 3 wonder children!!! So, you are correct sis no matter what challenges are going to come, but they help you to grow and make your marriage stronger!!! My husband and I grew up together and we feel we are truly soulmates and can't imagine our lives without each other 😊😍😘 I can see from your past videos to now how God has really grown you to be a Blessing to many people who are single and married 🤗🤗 Keep up the Great Work sis!!!
I don't really like listening to advice from married women. I felt that they sounded condescending. I'm glad I listened to this because I certainly didn't get that vibe from you
Petra Lovely you're right they usually do...but Mary has been waiting for a while, now God done blessed her Lol...you should check out some of her other videos back before she met Jerard (good stuff)😊😊😊be blessed
Absolutely! She understands bc she waited and worked for her blessing by being obedient to the Lord. Most people don't understand that bc they didn't wait 30+ years of virginity which teaches us many virtures. Good luck, ladies! #almost a 34 yo virgin & still waiting
I am young, but I know that I was called to be a wife. This video really helped me to prepare now while I wait for the man that God gives me. It gets kind of hard sometimes because not many young people want to be in a God-centered, committed, and intentional relationship like I do, but I know God hears my desires and will bring them to fruition.
I think there's something powerful about seeking God and being fully devoted to Him as a single woman, while also being vulnerable and real with Him in prayer and fasting about your desire to be in a relationship and be married. I feel like that surrendered heart to God is great preparation for marriage. I don't think many people are aware that the issues between you and God will be reflected in your marriage. Example: if i have trouble believing that God will provide for me, I will likely also have trouble believing that my husband will provide for me. Also, I am reading this book called A Gentle and Quiet Spirit by Virginia Lefler and it has been getting me together. It is helping me grasp what God sees as beautiful in me and I'm trying to implement those things in my marriage. I would definitely recommend it! Great video and congrats!
Yes yes yes wonderful wonderful wisdom you can tell that you truly have a wonderful relationship with God and take it from me you’re going to need to keep that wonderful relationship . I was married for 18 years until the Lord called my husband home and I’m still young I’m only 41 years old and I’m back out here starting all over again so you words of encouragement and wisdom really was a help today is kind of scary trying to get back out here but if I keep God first there is no limit to his blessings
God does both! He creates/handcrafts spouses for people and he plays matchmaker for those who could work well together. There is 1 major thing that determines this, and that is purpose! You are on earth to fulfill a purpose, Adam was given Eve, not only because it's not good for man to be alone, but he needed help with the new dominion he was given, i.e. naming the animals. Every saved person has a position in the body to build the kingdom. That could be ministry, YT, helping the homeless, making Christian movies, all the way to crusades and churches etc. The greater the call, the more likely you will have what the world would call "soul mates" (term unbiblical). Why, because you will need help fulfilling your great purpose to build the kingdom of God. Some people's purposes are so massive, they won't be called to a spouse at all! I.E. Kathryn Kulhman. So the greater the call, the more custom the mate. If one does not have this type of calling, they won't require a crafted mate. If you are a Christian that doesn't plan on living for Christ wholeheartedly (with Godly purpose), or decide that you want to have a regular life where you don't even attempt to evangelize, or build those around you (in your circle), most likely, your spouse will not be crafted. He will be someone who wants to live a similar life. Why? You won't need as much help fulfilling a call. We all have calls & assignments to the kingdom, but most Christian's turn them down. God knows how you live your life and what you will choose before he formed you, so that's how he determines whether you need a crafted spouse or not.
You were looking 🤔 the Bible clearly states “he that find a wive” not she that finds a husband. That’s why you never found him while you were searching. Love this video. For someone who really never wanted marriage, I just celebrated 26 years. To God be the Glory. But I truly understand your message about loving your single life.
Nadine Walker And also focus on God. Working ourselves and repent. A lot people are single because we don't focus on God at all. We make marriage our Idols.
What made you never desire marriage? I want to be lie that, ive prayed for God to take this desire away but He wont. He has answered other prayers but this is one he hasnt and i dont understand. I feel it would be better to not want love until it comes. How do i stop wanting/desiring a partner?
Thank you for the video. I shed a few tears because this video showed me that I'm not ready to be married/be a wife. I say this because im not who i desire my husband to be, which is completely devoted to God. I'm 39 and single and it is hard some days and I'm afraid that I will never be blessed with a husband or a family. I'm trying to have faith, but it gets harder and harder everyday.
samcam1199 Wow! You’re phenomenal! The fact that you haven’t given up and you still believe is assurance that God is still at work. Keep believing. God’s timing is not our time. He will deliver on his promises 🙏🏾❤️🤗
samcam1199 Be encouraged girl! I’m the same age (almost, in 2 months) and you can have JOY in the waiting. It does start with being 100% devoted to God tho. When you make that decision and pursue him, it changes things. If you know you’re not there yet...keep on pressing in and surround yourself with women of God who will encourage and help you along the way! This video is spot on, start embracing your single season because you’ll need the things you learn as a single when you’re married. Get your hopes up!!! You are not forgotten!! God’s plan for your life is STILL good!!!
@@calandrawilliams9539 I agree i told God yes and my life has changed tremendously in the blink of a eye. I'm also 39 and single but for the 1st time in my life I am truly happy with me I know God is changing things around me my mind is clear and all i desire is my Father 💚 stay encouraged my sister God will blow your mind
This is so true... I just got married to my better a month after your marriage to your better half, and I did all these things before finding or should I say recognizing my husband. I can say he maxed out my pray list to God and then some with the exception of my physical wants... But OMG when I say I found love... He loves me right and so well... the shallowness of my physical wants disappeared. Don't get me wrong my baby is fine... but not who I would have first acknowledge physically. @MrsNaturallyMary you're speaking my unspoken words!
I believe God can prepare anyone to be a soulmate. I dont think theirs just 1, once your agenda lines up w/ someone elses, u2 can grow as soulmates. (Discern the spirit)
True, too many people get caught up on this "phrase" its not biblical and people are dissolving marriages because they have now met their soulmate. The truth is that if you're married, whether he or she is what you think you ought to have, that person is now your soulmate for life.
There are certain fews that God crafts for one person. These are typically people called to large platforms of some sort. Why? Because marrying someone who is just "compatible" and not crafted can RUIN the call! Marriage is not just about covenant, it's a helpmate to reach a purpose that would be harder to reach alone (though not impossible).
The Word, in James 1 says to let patience have her perfect work, that when she is complete, you will lack nothing. I stand on God's. Word as it pertains to future husband, reciting this verse. Also, I want to be that Godly woman designed just for him. I know what you mean when you say to lower your expectations because being of one unit in marriage, you build by working together-and that is only thru God. Only within the last couple years have I been able to say that I truly enjoy being single. I am free to discover myself and my interests. I have two degrees, have traveled, and yes even dating myself. I remember two years ago I got all dressed up for my birthday and took myself out to eat at a nice restaurant. The table had all this fancy silverware and plates on it. The waiter asks me, 'are you waiting on someone to join you?' When I told him I was dining alone, omg he took all the plates and silverware off that table!! The table was seated for four persons. ! The noise was so loud from the clatter I thought he was gon break something!!! I promise if there had been candles on the table, he woulda blew them out too!!! Lord, I digress, its gon be alright tho!!! Anyways nice video❤
Catina Cochran That’s too funny! But, I think it’s amazing that you actually tried dining alone. We have to step out of our comfort zone sometime in order to allow God to truly shape us ☺️
Thanks Mary for sharing & it was a struggle for me to wait this long but I will definitely enjoy the season of singleness.. I know God hasn’t forgot about me & he knows my heart & desires.. I know he’s out there somewhere & I’ll be patiently.. 🙂
Yessss Mary you speaking the truth. I have learned to find myself and focus on me and my children and getting me together spiritually! I went out by myself to dinner last Saturday and it was wonderful! Yesss
I've been single for 12 years. It has its ups and downs. Definitely better the last 2 years than anytime before. I've had time to develop a lot, praise be to God. Not that God is our genie, ABSOLUTELY NOT, but I have my dream job, just finished a spring semester at Juilliard, and most importantly, my faith in the Lord has deepened and grown significantly from where it was years ago. If it's the Lord's will, I will meet (or see again) "the one" at some point in my life. If not, I'll live. At the present moment, I do find myself feeling a touch of loneliness but it'll be alright. I met a lovely young man 5 years ago. It was a surreal experience that I cherish to this day. However, I haven't seen him since September 2014, nor have we been in touch since February 2015. It's a stretch to hope that our paths will cross again but, deep down inside, it's my hope that they will... only if it's truly God's will for that to happen. I often try to remember how God has answered prayers in the past and how it was above all I could ask or think. If it's the Lord's will for me to be married, He will do the same in this area of my life as well. If not, my life will go on :-)
Lord help me to find the right person Someone I will appreciate, respect Understand and Cherish. That I won’t see his faults, but will see him just the way you see him. This video is a great blessing.
This video is gold!!!!! Thank you. My parents have been married for 41 years and my mom always tell me that those 40 years are not 40 days, or minutes, but years of loving, compromising, understanding, sharing but most of all PRAYING TOGETHER , praying for each other, for their marriage for themselves to be better. She has found the one whom her soul loves. The one God has chosen for her. I love your advices. These kind of videos.
Most people just think they are ready for marriage. They are NOT ready. It's not by chance, coincidence, random, or mistake, that this message crossed our path.
Thanks for the vid Mary !!!The other day when I entered a mom & pop store, there was a group of middle aged men at the checkout. They asked me my requirements when it comes to a potential husband. One of the first things I said was that the man MUST have a real, personal relationship with God. They laughed at me and asked "So that means ur husband must be a pastor !" I was like no, well not unless I am ordered by God to be with one. The discussion was truly a blessing in disguise. One of them even bragged about cheating and said that there are very few faithful men that exist. I left feeling a little bit discouraged, however it kept me back in line as to why prayer is always soo important!
Single for three years and I'm loving it, growing, learning, loving myself whilst strengthening my relationship with God. You are absolutely right we have to pray over ourselves so God can open our eyes to see His gift he has in store for us. We have to saturate the atmosphere before that gift arrives. Thanks for the video Mary.
Beautifully said. I agree with what you stated. I absolutely loved this video. Singleness is a blessing. Many people look at it as a curse but my prayer is that God's name will be glorified in my singleness. Marriage is not a certificate of achievement but rather a covenant for God's glory. So many singles are rushing to get married, settling for just about anyone only to enter the union wishing they never rushed. I believe that God wants to do so much in our singleness if only we allow the Holy Spirit to do His work in us. God is preparing us in our season of singleness and for what is yet to come. Thank you for sharing this blessing with us. I love your blouse. Very beautiful :)
First off your just stunning and very feminine i love it! You’ve also help me begin to step it up a little as far as dressing up for myself and being feminine. I love this topic because I’m dating a great guy that sometimes seems to good to be true. I don’t know how to start and how to put God in our lives and relationship. Any suggestions on that? I’m gonna make a list and use that list to work on myself and begin that journey today! One more question... how important is a career vs a job in your relationship? ... sorry it’s so long ❤️
I don’t believe that there is only one person for you and they’re out there in Australia for example far away and that’s why you’re still single. Rather, I believe out of the people around you and the opportunities and places you go, God places a few people before you and depending on God’s timing, one of them will be “the one”
This video was so transparent. It made me realize that some parts of this journey are scary but absolutely necessary. It was also assuring to hear that some of the things on this list I'm already doing or have recently started. Your journey is an encouragement and testimony that God is faithful. Thanks sis!
I have a daughter that is 36 and she desire a godly husband. She is a virgin pray with me for her . Everything you said is confidence for her. Even as a Christian she needs to hear from others like her of Gods wisdom in finding a mate. Her name is Deneen and she is a blessing to her mom and I just want what God wants for her.
It is all well and good to talk about the spiritual side, what about the practical side of dating or courtship or getting ready? I used to listen to videos like this all the time but, I have come to a place now where it just seems like comfort food to keep christian single woman silent and comfortable.
I loved this video! The difference in hearing this from you, is that we know the process actually works! It's so hard to listen to someone who got married at 18 talk about waiting at 31. But I think because we were able to see you in your singleness, and see the journey that God was taking you through, it speaks volumes about his goodness! It's literally a concrete testimony. You can go back through the videos and watch him work. And that, is beyond amazing and mindblowing! I think thats why a lot of us are so excited for you. We can see that if he can do it for you, surely he can and WILL do it for us too! Thank you so so so so much for sharing your journey. And thank Jerard for being open enough to share too. You have no idea how much hope you have given us! XoXo
Great words of wisdom for any age. Waiting on my BOAZ. Believing God to do it. Our Faith is still being tested but I believe God is going to do it. Amen
Honey, you have been such a blessing to me this morning. My boyfriend and I are going through a serious rough patch right now. I have been at an absolute loss. Your video has helped me realize that I truly have some work to do. If we want to flourish, sometimes you have to take a hard look at yourself. Thank You!
Mary u ate so "right on ". Such a good speaker and angel sent by God. U are so so on target. I am sure there r many of us who wished today they had waited. Also when u speak of lowering ur expectations, that is so different than lowering ur standards. At times we get the two confused and miss our spiritual blessings as well. We should be wise in thinking if God was the Father to us as he is, then the majority of us would be in turmoil. We need to show up mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Great job, a d may God continue to be with u and Jerard.
This video was good for me. I loved when u said that we need to learn the characteristics of God and our mate should have the same. I also like the idea of making the two lists. This was so encouraging to me. Thank you!!!❤
This was incredibly timely. This area, especially recently, has been a huge struggle for me. And internalizing negative reasons for your singleness truly leads to depression
I appreciate you reaching back to singles being recently married. Loved your words and insight. You inspired me to make my first tangible list lol. #heregoes
Veronica Lee The single phase still holds a special place in my heart. I know it’s apart of my calling to share with those who are single because I know God took me through that long season for a reason. I’m so glad it was encouraging 😘🙏🏾❤️
Luv u soo much you don't know how much this message you are sharing with us is helpful likeeee i am facing that period in m'y life where i am tired of being single etc and i am Young worried and asking myself many questions but I believe God is answering my questions through you 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Beautifully said! This video was right on time! Jesus is currently working on me and He spoke to me through this video! Thsnks for yet another amazing video! God bless you and your marriage!
Im sure the rest of ur video is great Beautiful One. I did all this when every one else including family and other adults our people and non i had to use all my energy to fight telling ALLLLL THIS! I STOOD ALONE FOR SO LONG....IM FABULOUS AND TIRED but im so happy by seeing u and God is showibg me my STRENGTH all those yrs starting as a KID! I was and still am of respect. Have always walked ALONG somew tell me they admire me for that but its too long now so cudos to u hun thats u didnt have to wait as long as some of us did and still waiting. Im no longer waiting but there are some that still are. I hope the same for them as well. 🌹
I feel that a soul mate feels forced in a way, like you had no choice in the matter, and God does force me to love Him, why would he force me to love someone else. It all comes down to choice and it make sense to consult God about it cause He has seen all the outcomes of each and every choice you make. Love your videos!!
I believe perspective 2. I have been praying for a spouse for 12 years and in that time, I can say I wasnt ready the whole time, but God molded me into a proverbs 31 woman. I have not been just sitting and praying. I just finished school, have a career, own my own home now, and most of all have grown and still growing spiritually in God. But honestly now I'm wondering if God has a husband for me. At this point it's not even my faith failing... its the thought that I really think maybe God doesnt have marriage for me because I literally see, feel , or experience nothing except God saying that He has already given me everything I need. So because I hear that all the time I'm wondering because I definitely desire marriage. Guess we ll see.
Thank you so timely! I have been following your story since last year. It's so beautiful 😍. Thank you for being an encouraging sister ( though we have never met) 😊
I believe in “the One” ... God knows the entire span of our life ... of course there’s many people we’re compatible with , just like there’s endless opportunities of clothes to buy ... in both situations the Lord knows what you’ll end up with ... another example there’s a variety of choices of cars to buy , but the Lord even in that situation knows which one you’re gonna get ... i think it depends on who’s perspective you’re looking from ... he knows the One for you despite you testing the waters of multiple relationships
I used to believe that before I met my boyfriend. But I think both perspectives are valid because of free will...so I could marry many other guys and they could work...
Thank you so much for this video. I am 31 years of age and just celebrated 4 years of celibacy and single. It's been hard lately. I recently decided to date myself. It has been so good. This video is definitely helpful because you came out on the other side. I have hope!!
Thank you so much Mary! I love when you make videos like this! My boyfriend and I are really trying to do it all God's way and are thinking of getting married soon even though we're young, and seeing your videos is a real encouragement and help 😊
I believe in perspective #2...although I’ve already been married and I’m divorced i know i was not in love with him and i married him for all the wrong reasons...but i do pray that God sends me another husband...I’ve been celibate for almost a year now i didn’t really want to be celibate but i felt like if God is going to do something different in my life i need to completely surrender my life to him...I’m actually praying God will keep me hidden and continue to give me discernment and wisdom until the right man comes along...thank you for this video! Quick question..while you were dating were you ever afraid to tell men that you were waiting for marriage to have sex? When should that topic come up ?
This video has ministered to me so much as a 29 year old commitment to Christ single woman. Trusting God’s timing we need encouragement sometimes and I remember watching this video a year ago taking notes. I’m listening to you again and I can truly see growth in my walk and deliverance for myself. I have embraced my single season and I’m thriving. Thank you Mary! May God continue to bless and use you!
Such a great and inspiring video...”becoming the person you want the person to be”... so powerful... you look amazing as always ... thank you for shining a positive light and outlook on Godly relationships... you have encouraged me to uphold Goldy standards and not think it’s “weird or too much” thank you💙
Now Ms. Mary. . . . Lord knows that I have seen many of your videos but this one came across my timeline. God sent you to send me this word. Thank you Lord and Ms. Mary
Thank you for this Mary. I actually embrace both perspectives. That God has one in the earth for you. And also that you can choose one. I have seen God work in both instances.
Good stuff !!!great information ❤ I could see you speaking at conferences and to woman groups you have a gift of speaking and bring information across effectively. Keep it coming
My Sister, this video is truly a blessing. I've been trying to get some around me to understand that when it comes to singles there are those who tend to have a old school mentality of just be single and wait for GOD. However, there needs to be conversation on how to do that. Also , there are different single seasons. Some are single not looking just focused on GOD and growing self, some are looking, then there are those who are single and dating someone that GOD brought to them and they need to know how to have a CHRIST centered relationship. I'm going to share this video, it has been a TRUE BLESSING. GOD BLESS
Wow, I almost didn’t watch this video, nothing personal at all but more a reflection of the mental space I’m in. I’ve been in such a frustrated place. You read my mind when you said about asking God why me? Who is it me that always has to go through stuff? Honestly, it’s like you’ve been eavesdropping on my convos with God. But I like your advice on asking instead what God wants to teach me in this current season. I pray God helps us all in whatever season we are in 🙏🏾
Abi Sola I’m so glad it was encouraging☺️I believe this a demonstration of why it’s so important that we share our experiences and not just keep the parts that are glamorous... Others need to know that they aren’t alone and that God will absolutely cause them to overcome their season of disappointment. Stay encouraged! God will blow your mind with the things he has in store for you if you continue to allow him to do what’s necessary prior to the blessing coming🤗🙏🏾❤️
Loved the video, Your mate can be blessed and not attend church. As long as God is in his/her heart. What a great video. Will be praying over the list and person that God will send to me. 🙂
Thank you so much Mary for your golden words. I've been single for almost 8 years. I really needed this to kick off my new beginning in the single journey. I pray that God will bless you and your husband with a beautiful and prosperous marriage.
Thank you, thank you, thank you...lol...this video was so necessary for me to hear. I’m in this space of struggling with being single. You gave some excellent advice on how to navigate through this season of singlehood while we wait on God to send us our mate. Clearly, the Lord and I have a lot of work to do. Again, thank you for making this video.
Thanks for this video also! All the things you have suggested are things I have recently been working on and was directed to work on through scripture. This is confirmation that I am on the right path and am nearing the end of this journey. God is in my neighborhood! Thank you for the encouragement!
You have no idea how much this has helped me during this season of my life. I am working my way back to God right now so your suggestions are amazing. I will focus on Loving God and loving me before the one comes along.
MARY!!!!!! When ypu said god puts you in a place to be humble I almost jumped out of my seat. When I tell you he broke me down for almost five years and I felt every single thing I really did. I got rid of people who meant me no good thanks to him I cleared my vision so he could give me what I need. I've prayed for everything you spoke of and he's giving it to me as we speak and I'm so thankful. Thank you for this insightful video. Blessings💙💙💙💙
Thank you so much this message! I am in this singleness season right now and I love these type videos. It is helping me get through this season and be prepared.
Thank God for using you. I am so encouraged now. I just clicked on this video just to know and have confirmation that God is amazing. Thank you I really needed this. God is so Good.
This video is a God-send. Ty. This really changed my view. I believe God has a person just for all of us. My issue was just about almost everything u mentioned. But I am definitely in the process of focusing on preparation of myself and closer to God. Ty so much. Ima check out those books you mentioned.
Pillowzzz Box34 I’m so glad this video was a blessing! Stay encouraged! God’s got you! Draw closer to God, he will do amazing things in your life 🙏🏾❤️😘
This video popped up out of nowhere! So crazy because currently I am going through something similar right now and this is what I needed to hear. You are truly inspirational!
Wow! This was simply awesome! I use to do all these things that you have listed. But I became discouraged and stopped! I know God has been calling me back to doing the dating myself, praying for my future spouse and our marriage! I just lost all hope! & I also lost my list I have NO clue where I put it! But I will be making another one!!🤗Thank you for this video!!🙏🏽Be Blessed Sister In Christ!
I've been waiting on this video!!! I know you've come a long way and I remember your previous videos when you were single and sometimes frustrated in your single season! Thank you for making this video. I currently where you were and I do experience concern sometimes! So happy to see you be with your husband now!
Shawntina: I had 3 many years ago and ended up gifting them to friends who were dating. They all got married. I need to check out the Andy Stanley book.
Thank you for this video....needed to hear this. I've been praying for my soul mate for so long i just have to reinforce my prayers and my desires. Thank you so much!!
I believe that if we allow God to write our love story and trust Him with it and wait on Him... He will bring the person who will help us run for the Lord...I believe He is out there. I believe in perspective #2 but God is able to provide another if the person passes away.
Listen... you are a gem Mrs Bennet. Thank you for this video, please keep doing these kind of videos. Quarter two age thirty and so grateful for people like you to remind us that the wait is worth it. God bless you
OMG. I couldn't ask for a better video as this, i really needed this advise going through preparation for marriage an not meeting the guy as yet or not even dating, most of what you mention the lord is already led me to do, which i thought was weird preparing an no date. But God thought are not our taughts. I love you Mary such encouraging video to my soul. thank you Jesus, yes pray pray pray, I been praying for a Godly husband an more. last but not least wow! To God be the glory.
