One Isn’t the Loneliest Number

February 14, 2019

Happy Valentine’s Day! That’s for all of you, but I want to write specifically to those of you who are alone on this day. By alone, I mean, you don’t have an identified Valentine. How are you feeling about this day? I know there are a variety of sentiments. I’m fairly sure I’ve felt the … More One Isn’t the Loneliest Number

Maybe You Should Be Single

October 20, 2016

What did she say – should be?! – Now don’t get all offended! I don’t mean forever – maybe just for now. You’ll have to decide if this is for you but if it is, your future spouse will thank you. For those of you unmarried, this is going to be an honest conversation that … More Maybe You Should Be Single

Comparison is a Thief

October 5, 2016

“I will not compare myself to strangers on the internet.” I read this on Instagram the other day, posted by Lisa Bevere. It sent me into a tailspin of thoughts. How many times do you find yourself scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. You told yourself (again) that you just need to pop online to “check … More Comparison is a Thief

Almost 4000 words written! Haha - 10% done! They say starting is 50% done so while I finished intro and Ch 1, I got a groove and system and I’m STOKED! • • What I wrote in Ch 1 is something I’ve never said before!! When I was doing my brain dump for Ch 1, it “came to me”. Want to know what it was? It’s a game changer. It answers this question:• • WHAT IS THE GOAL OF SINGLENESS? *hint - the answer is not marriage. • • Snap, this is going to be good. • • #mindmapping #selfpublishingschool #authorsofinstagram #singleness #single #datingadvice #relationshipgoals #godlydating #thisseasonofhope

Hello! Here is my #mindmap of my soon to be coming book on singleness!! Eek! I’m so excited. About 15+ years of navigating the “season of single” to marriage and I CANNOT WAIT to share everything God has walked me through understanding. This book will be out by the fall. @hoperana @self_publishing_school #journeytobook #thisseasonofhope #singleness #dating #seasonofsingleness

<< APPRECIATION >> Just to give you a little insight: this year, I am working on: appreciation, humility, and hunger (for knowledge). Why? Because my best friend @nanabydesign reminded me that you ultimately want a cause to go from your head to your heart (and ultimately to your feet - aka action) but if you ever lose one of those three things, it is possible that what you’re pursuing can go from your heart back to your head. • • I’ve had those times. • • I love these two reminders: 1) that God has a given us the PROMISE that he has a future and a hope for us. Even when we sometimes don’t know what that figure is, He knows. Jer 29:11 is that reminder in uncertainty on this @laureldenise bracelet. The other is a reminder of what I’m pursuing. A gift from @sejalmgala - thank you for having faith in my future. She got this from Hawaii for me because she knows I’ll be joining her and others that kept the cause in their HEART. • • The Others who are an example of true appreciation: Appreciation for those who have provided guidance, for those who have supported, for opportunities that have come their way, and even for the hard times that shaped their character. • • The Others who are an example of humility: who never allow themselves to feel like they’re “better” than others, even as they progress in life; who never forget where they came from; and the others who know who to give the credit to. 👆🏼 • • The Others who are hungry: hungry for truth, knowledge, understanding and perspective. They never think they’ve arrived and always understand that what they know isn’t necessarily all there is to know, and that information is reserved for the seeker. • • I’m appreciative for those in my circle - Both in the inner circle and those I get to interact with in the day to day. • • #jer2911 #thankfulgratefulblessed

Hey friends! I’m back! Did you miss me? 🙃 . . I thought Valentine’s Day would be the perfect time to come back blogging and I wanted to get you ❤️ feeling this day, whether or not you’re “feelin” the day. . . Check out my new post if you’re feeling some type of way today. Link in bio! . . #thisseasonofhope #seasonofsingle #singles #dating #christiandating #ditchthebaggage #godlydating #godlyrelationships

"What's the difference between a boy whose a friend: 'boy friend', and a 'boyfriend'? The answer is: A space. A pause. A pause that keeps my hands off you, my heart from you and my mind.. well, let's be honest. My mind is on you ...... Let's close that space" A teaser of one of the two poems I performed! I'm going to open my blog back up soon and incorporate a little spoken word! Just because I haven't been posting doesn't mean I haven't been writing! Stay tuned. #thisseasonofhope #seasonofsingle #blogger #slampoetry #spokenword #spokenwordpoetry #poetry #poet #dating #relationshipgoals #singleness

Let's get real about something. Be honest enough with yourself to asses if maybe you SHOULD be single right now rather than using a relationship to run from something you should be facing. Read. Like. Share. Tag. Link in profile. #thisseasonofhope #seasonofsingle #singles #dating #christiandating #ditchthebaggage #godlydating #godlyrelationships
