I once heard a song called “Dedication to My Ex” and as someone who constantly reflects on past experiences, it always made me think. Much of my reflection is about romantic relationships, particularly those that didn’t end well. As an Artist myself I’ve often wondered if I would ever create something similar, but I have decided not to. I could write about how unfortunate it is things didn’t work out between us, how I wanted it to work. I might write how I much missed them…or how I didn’t ... View the Post
Breakups: Less Questions, More Acceptance
As the old song goes, “breaking up is hard to do”. Being the person who gets broken up with is even harder. The hardest. One of the most devaluing things I’ve ever experienced is to have someone tell me that after getting to know me, they’ve decided they no longer want to continue a relationship with me. The fundamental question is always something along the lines of “…but don’t you like what you see?” You immediately wonder why apparently you aren’t what they’re looking for. The next ...

No Good Thing Will God Withhold
"For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withheld from those who walk uprightly." (Psalms 84:11) I was cleaning up around the house the other day. While cleaning, I just started thinking about God and His faithfulness that He has towards me and His people in general.

A Baddie but Still Single?! When They Ask Why You’re Still Single, Say This
You know it used to really bother me when people asked me why I'm still single. As if it's not already obvious that I don't have a man, they call attention to it. They say things like, "Girl you've got so much going for yourself. You're so pretty. You're smart. You have your own businesses. Any man would be lucky to have you." While all of that is true, it somehow still had me looking at myself like something was wrong with me. Like all I had to offer just wasn't enough for the right one to come ... View the Post
How to Know What a Man Thinks
Have you ever wondered what a man thinks? I know I have! It can be so hard to determine especially because we do not think the same. So how did we get to the bottom of this? We hosted a webinar on what men think! This week our Worth the Wait Community had an amazing webinar with Ivan Land, Jr. who shared so much wisdom on purity and relationships from a Christian man's perspective. It seriously blessed me.

How Online Dating Led to a Real Life Boyfriend
Online dating has a lot of disadvantages. Although I know quite a few people who have found love online, I did not. Eventually, I met someone in “real life”, but I still credit my experience using dating apps to find love myself. After a host of unhealthy relationships and even worse “situationships”, I finally decided to give it a try. I made a profile on a free dating website and received about 300 messages within 3 days. Most of the messages were too ridiculous to bother replying to, and ... View the Post
