From The Girl Who Use To Be You!

I follow an incredible group of ladies and friends on Facebook. One day one of the girls posted her story that contained such incredible wise words. It hit home for me, so I had to ask her if I can share it with the world on my blog! I hope these words encourage you as much as it encouraged me... even if you're not single!

“I cried tonight because I’ll be leaving in 2 days for 2 weeks. It’s crazy to me to remember the years I spent crying because I questioned if God had even had a man for me.

•

And here I am tonight, crying in that very mans arms because of how deeply I love him. I’m overwhelmed sometimes with how much I love him, how dependent I am on him as such a permanent presence in my life & the joy I feel being his best friend.

•

Knowing how I feel today,

Knowing the richness of our marriage & friendship,

I just want to shake my single gal pals out there with this truth...

•

Don’t settle.

Don’t text that guy a million times convincing yourself he could be the one when he’s not giving you the time of day.

Don’t push a relationship forward if he’s not showing you he’s ready to LEAD you spiritually.

Don’t try to make a guy fall in love with you.

•

Just do you & God, girl.

Be yourself.

Fall in love with how & who God made you to be.

Pray a LOT.

And wait for God to wake the RIGHT man up to your existence & beauty.

•

The right guy will notice you, he’ll pursue you, he’ll adore how God made you & be intentional with your heart. He won’t want to leave things open ended or without definition because he’ll want to make you his ❤️

•

Bottom line: God designed marriage to be a representation of Christ and the church. So if he can’t do the little things like define the relationship, text you back, pay for your meal, pray with you, respect you in physical purity.... then girlfran.... THANK 👏🏼U 👏🏼NEXT 👏🏼

•

Marriage is the second biggest decision you’ll make after choosing Jesus. Don’t settle. Don’t lower your standards or deflate your worth. Be intentional & picky about the man you allow to lead your home & have your heart 🥰 and if there isn’t a man like that in your life yet; then be CONFIDENT & JOYFUL about being single.

•

Men of God like this DO exist, they’re few and far between... they take a lot of waiting, singleness and prayer to come your way...but I promise you.... he’s out there 🙏🏼

•

This season of waiting one day shall pass. And you’ll find yourself so grateful you waited for THIS man❤️

XO,

from the girl who used to be you”

Thank you, @sownwithstrength for letting me share these beautiful words. They should be shared to all the single ladies or even those who are struggling with their current relationship. It’s our duty to ourselves to know our own worth. Because darling you are worth it all! You deserve more than you know!

Stand tall, stay strong, and remember you are more than enough.

You are worthy!
