I am a Blessed Woman

Not to knock singleness and everything but being off the market is something new and fun. Ha. Actually singleness is a beautiful thing. It allows us to truly put in some work for the master because you don't have to check back with someone else. If you want to put your hundred percent in with Christ you don't have to check with husband or children. You can fast and pray with purpose and intensity like never before.

But on the other hand man was not meant to be alone and for that I thank God that my Boaz has put in his appearance and he is loving me to distraction. Okay! And it's all holy which is all good. Granted it sounds like a "touch me with thine eyes only" thing but it's not. But neither is it a "Oh my gosh...we barely escaped fornication that time" kind of scenario. It's just nice. He's worried about my purity and I am worried about his.

I love this man of God...mostly because he loves Jesus more than he loves me....and he loves me something fierce. The reason that I say I'm blessed in this relationship is this....I didn't have to go looking for him, I wasn't pining for him, wasn't even thinking about no one. I just said Lord I wanna walk close beside you. I took some time to be with God and decided that even if I did feel lonely it would just be Jesus and I all the way.

Lo and behold at the end of the 'year' here comes this man of God looking in my direction declaring that I am his good thing and that he believes it is the will of God that we get married. Don't think I'm not praying all the way on this cause forever is a long time and I don't plan on falling out of love with my husband.....

But I'm just saying it might not be exactly the way it is for us...but God will bring the right person at the right time.

Women Warriors

Praise the Lord forevermore and let His name greatly be praised. Across all the earth let the people praise His wonderful name. How excellent You are Oh Lord of all Creation, God of all Flesh, Daystar, Lion of Judah, Mighty One, Conquering King, Priest! Blessed is the name of the Lord and worthy is He to be praised!Glory to the Most High God, to Jesus our soon coming king and reedemer!Women of God..Fear not! You are greatly beloved of the Lord! Strive to be famous in the streets of Heaven. In the courts of God strive to let your name be spoken. Praise God! Women are warriors in the battle of the Lord let no one tell you differently! When Deborah the prophetess of the Lord told Sisera that Barak was delivered into his hands...who was the one that brought down this mighty man? It was Jael the wife of Heber! Daughters of Zion, we are not without power, we are not without strength...Yes! We are mighty in the Lord. Praise God. Whenever God calls someone, bear in mind that God never calls the equipped, but he equips the called! You have been called of the Lord, be sure of that .... where you are lacking, look to God to supply all your needs, because He can and will according to his riches in glory.Never doubt that you are precious in his sight! Fight the good fight of faith...Have you not heard the words that he spoke to us? Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.Zephaniah 3:14Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.Zecharaiah 2:10Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. Zechariah 9:9Praise God forevermore...its no longer the usual. Battle, warfare, cry out to God for what you need. Call out to him. Open your mouth and praise Him. Worship him. Seek Him in the morning. Seek Him in the Day. At Noon seek him. In the evening seek Him. Seek Him in the nights...cry out to God. Get desperate for Him. God is doing a new thing ....enlarge your territory. Open out your tents and get ready to receive of the Lord. We were not made to be wonderers of victims or accepting of anything that comes upon us. Oh no. He has called us to be more than a conqueror! Don't get ready for the move of the Lord....Be ready!

Saved and Single

I'm Not Going to Lie..I took this from someone because its just so good!
Saved & Single-Author Unknown
What makes you think that just because I am an
Attractive woman of Godly intelligence
That I'm incomplete without a mate?
Who told you that
Without a man
Something's missing
From my life?And if so,
What would that be?
Love?
I love myself
And more importantly
I love the Lord
He told me that when I delight in Him,
He will give me the desires of my heart
Security?
I have everything I need according to His riches in glory.
Intimacy?
Now, how's a man going to get to know me
When he doesn't even know who he is in the Lord
See my Father told me I'm above a ruby's worth
And a gem does not seek
It is sought
I'm single and that's all right with me
See,it's not that I oppose relationships
It's that I detest co-dependency
As a womanI know it is not my role
To chase after any man
Esther 2:14says
that I am to wait on my king and when he's delighted in me.
He will call me by my name.
My Lord does not intend for me to be needy or desperate.
I am to be Cherished, Relished, Valued, and Honored,
It's not my job to convince him
Or Convict him of that,
My mate will already know it
And consistently show it
And he will stay on his knees daily
Not just to adore me
But to praise the Lord for
The virtuous woman he has found
So, when you see me by myself
I'm not alone
I know what I have coming to me
I'm single and saved, and right now that's all I need to be!
When Life gets too hard to stand then kneel
