I turned 38 yesterday, and I've never been in a relationship. It just never came together, and I think there's a reason for it. I tried to force a situation 10 years ago with a guy I dated for a few months, and it was a huge mistake. Thankfully, God saved me from that situation, and I've learned to deepen my relationship with Him and rely on Him for ALL things. Just like you said, if He leads me in other things, He'll lead me in this area of my life. I always tell God, if He's not in it, I don't want it. Thanks for the convo!❤
The topic of slowing down, being in silence with God, and spending time alone is so important. God has really been pointing me to Proverbs 20:5, which says, "The purposes in the human mind are like deep water, but the intelligent will draw them out." (New Revised Standard Version) If we cannot take the time to do that for ourselves, then we can't be a partner that is patient and understanding of another. The best spouses are wise ones. Wisdom comes in taking time alone and cultivating it within God's word. That hasn't been easy, but you reminded me of how worth it it is. Thank you both for this blessing of an episode!! God bless and keep succeeding in singleness!!
This conversation is so good!!! I feel that my married friends judge me for being single. One friend always extends invitations that include a date. I find it rude since she knows my status. Thoughts??
This was such a great episode. You two gave a lot of good advice. And I agree that it's important to know that someone can be a good man but not the man for you. Personally I think some men are just meant to be platonic friends and nothing more. I had a friend that I've known since 1998. He recently passed away. I valued his friendships and long talks. I'm glad to have known him.
I still struggle with thinking that I owe men(people) my time. Last year I prayed for a friend and a church family. I'm happy to say I found both. There teaching me that I don't need to carter to everyone. Now I know I was letting the world have easy access to me. 2024 Is all about learning to hold my head up as a child of the most high. God wants the best for us.... I just have to believe and take action.
I love how things we pray come out somewhere else. I was praying about a lot of your points were in my prayer this morning😂 I love how Jesus does that. It feels like a confirmation to just chill out. I think my goal for this year/ what He’s pushing me to do, is to trust that finding the right guy IS possible. To believe Him that there IS a guy out there for me. And then drop it! 😂😂 lol He said Cast my cares on Him… and LEAVE THEM! Go do what He has for me to do and along the way learn the lessons He’s got for me, preparing me for the right dude. And believe He won’t bring me somebody who’s going to do me dirty or repeat abusive cycles. ❤❤ Thank ya’ll for this one!
Thisssssssss! Thanks for you for sharing. This is so real and yes He definitely knows how to confirm things for us 👏🏾😆 and yes totally agree He knows and will fulfill it in its right time. You WILL have God’s best concerning your husband (and of course every part of your life) because you trust Him (casted that care!)
