Another Dating Article

Just what you need right? Another dating article. More advice on what to do or not do to find "the one." Don't worry I'm right there with you and this is something I've been intentionally thinking through because I know what it's like and I didn't want to offer just another article of advice. While these are just my own thoughts and prayerfully considered words, I wanted to offer hope, truth and wisdom. I don't want to tiptoe around this subject of dating or pacify what's going on in our society of dating, but rather hit it head on to inspire you to fight for what God has for you. We can't keep letting the enemy interfere in our stories. So I hope to offer from my human heart some Godly wisdom.

To the one still waiting

I get it. Trust me I know how hard it is to want something and wait for it. I know the heartache of praying desperately seeking God to answer that prayer and it still not happening. I know what it's like to be so close and yet still so far from your next season so the waiting continues. I know what it's like to see everyone else making progress in their dreams and getting the things that you're praying for and not understanding why it's not your turn yet.

Because He first loved us

I wrote this a couple years ago in 2015 and as I was sifting through my journals this week, I found it relevant for Valentine's day since for many it can be a day of comparison and loneliness. I hope if you are one of those people you can relate and be encouraged today.

I talk to so many girls my age dealing with similar things in this awkward stage of life after college called being a grown up. The hottest topic in this life stage always seems to be dating, relationships and being single. The biggest remarks I hear are "why is it so hard to find a boyfriend after college" or "why are all the good christian guys I see not interested" or "I feel behind in life because I'm still single." I know the struggle, trust me. I think there are a few key points that will help change your perspective and help you through this season of being single.
