Waiting on Gods Timing!!!

Wow its been a min since I've blogged, not for any reason in particular really it boiled down to laziness :( lol! But in all honesty there wasn't anything on my heart really worth blogging about, until tonight! After witnessing some altercations in relationships between my fam and friends I felt inspired to blog about dating relationships and GODs timing! I'm 24 and I've never been in a relationship! Never been in love or had sex..... I know, I know theres probably crickets in the background LOL! I grew up in a family where I saw divorce, so naturally I strayed away from "real relationships" out of fear of being hurt or just genuinely not interested enough in anyone to give my heart body and EVERYTHING too them! It wasn't until I got a little older and my "holding out" on relationships stopped being for my own personal preference but for Jesus :)!!! I grew closer to him so I want to follow his way and make him happy so I'm not going to date until its time for marriage and I'm also not having sex (fooling around included) until after marriage! In this day and time some would call it crazy, or prudish or down right dumb! But I answer to God and no one else! In the spring of 2009 I met a young man actually he was my pastors eldest son! The min I saw him I was a gonner. It was at a church anniversary function I remember it like it was yesterday I was sitting in my seat and he walked in with his blue pin-stripe suit on lol I turned around and saw him and immediately turned back around! My heart was jumping around "I had found The One"!haha He was tall, dark and handsome LITERALLY!! He is a football player so he is in great physical shape as well! as the years went by I became more and more infatuated with this guy, I mean he was everything I thought I desired in a man and more!  Loves God his family, smart, articulate, funny, VERY humble and sweet! I couldn't think of a better man, or so I thought, it was totally lust. For him to be an athlete it was even more shocking because they are usually the complete polar opposite of him!   I found myself starting to like him soo much but I wasn't sure how he felt he was nice too me and when he visited his fathers church we talked and laughed and sometimes flirted and joked, but I still couldn't tell if he liked me or not! He's also close to his parents who are a big influence in his life, as my mother and stepfather are in mine. I used to fill that his family wouldn't except me I am of a different race than he is and I haven't finished my degree yet. And it was brought to my attention by my mother and some other elders that I shouldn't put more time and energy into thinking about him as I was GOD, and giving more time and energy to him as I was GOD! Also not to worry if his family liked me or not all that mattered was how he felt. She also said  that What GOD had for me was for me!! Eventually he graduated college and moved to another state for his career and a year after that I went back to my home church in garland.  So I decided to let it go and live my life for CHRIST and just wait on the Lords perfect timing! One of the desires of my heart is to be married to a Godly young man that loves God more than me and life itself one that pursues me and that I don't have to adopt the worlds ways of dating and run him down. And if I could pick the guy for that desire it would def  be him or someone like him:) I want what the scripture says, for him to find me, court me and marry me :) {Proverbs 18:22} right now I'm spending my time working in the church, finishing school and working. I still think about him, and see him on tv sometimes lol. I even still like him but I want it to be from God and too know that he is pleased with my relationship and that its not just me. I also want the guy to like me on his own and not because I forced him or pushed him or tricked him into liking me. That he chose me to be his wife because he wanted me, that way he would appreciate me. But right now I'm on Gods PERFECT timing all I can do is sit be patient and rest in GOD!And know that it doesn't matter how far away my future husband is when its Gods appointed time he will bring us together in the most unique and beautiful way that only he can <3 Ecclesiastes 3:1

God Loves you soo much, trust in his PERFECT timing and will for your life!! :-)

4th of July!!

Im suuupppeerrr late I know!!! Today was the 4th of July! The best part of this day is the FOOD ,BBQ is one of my most FAVORTIE foods I Looovvvveee it! So it was only fitting that we BBQ! We'll I didn't hahaha but my mother did, shes a great cook! Today was a chilled and relaxed day filled with laughter and family some of my favorite things! After we BBQ my brothers and I hit downtown dallas to watch fireworks! It was the perfect ending to a great day filled  with the 3 F's fam, food and fun! Oh and Fireworks of course!Hope you guys had a great 4th!

"All the Single Ladies"

"Single Ladies" its not just Beyonce's chart toping hit, its a reality for many women all over the globe! As a young women 24 years old I get asked this question all the time! "Are you dating anyone yet"?? "Are their any prospects???" UGHHHH I used to hate it when people would ask me that question! I would even be a bit embarrassed about it! I come from a large family 7 siblings 4 brothers and 2 sisters. The youngest is 21 and the oldest 33 all of my siblings are dating someone, in a "serious" relationship or married with kids, and if their single they've been in plenty other sometimes ungodly  relationships! Im the "black sheep" but in reverse, LOL. I've never had a boyfriend, fiance' and of course a husband! Sometimes I feel out of place, there are times when everyone is with their significant other and im the 15th wheel lol, it can be pretty uncomfortable. One of my brothers asked me "do you even want a man"? I thought to myself, well of course I do! , but I dont want just any ol' body! I want a young man whos heart is after the lord who only desires the things of GOD and doesnt wan't to prematurely have sex with me or touch me inappropriately or make me a mother before a wife! I want a man!! In these times it feels virtually impossible to find a guy that has it together! I mean Spiritually together! I can find a man with all of the typical  things women, and even myself would love to have in their mate, like good looks, athletic built, financially stable, educated, nice teeth, great skin, 6'3 and taller, deep voice blah blah blah LOL I could go on and on and on! And I can't lie I welcome all of those things in my futre spouse :-), but none of its worth it if he isn't completley sold of to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ! A six pack and straight teeth can't help our marriage when we really need to pray for something or be healed. I could listen to family and friends when they remind me that my clock is tickin!Or I could listen to the man who has created ,will present and knows exactly where on this earth my future husband is! Here recently i've been recieving from the Lord that the doesnt' want me worried about when, where, and how my husband will appear but to allow him to strip me of everything that is not of him in my life and allow him to come in and consume me. I need to depend on him, meditate on him and live a life consecrated, setapart for him. I have soo many things I can be working on before I become a wife and even a mother. Strengthing my weaknesses in my attitude and emotions good or bad, expand my prayer life, (in my moms words lol) learn to take keep house, cook, clean and serve. Also pour my life out to others in my family, community and church for example speak to the youth, witness and do missionary work! Psalm 37:4 tells me to "Delight my self in the Lord and he will give me the desires of my heart" also while delighting there should be noooo worrying, Gynger"(wagging my finger at myself hahaha). Also Jeremiah 29:11 tells me the Lord has great plans for me! So when the holiday season, new years and valentines day come around I can't be all down and  say "I dont have anyone" I DO his name is Jesus Christ he holds my heart in his hands, he will be my date for my family's  Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, my New Years kiss and my special Valentine! And when that time comes whatever guy wants my heart must go through my Heavenly father to get it  FIRST!!! :) Be encouraged Ladies Godly men are out there and when the time comes for the Lord to wake your Adam up he will bring you two together in the right time and season so beautifully in only the special way he can! MUAH!!!!

Purity and a Setapart Life For Christ!!!

As a huge advocate for Purity I love this message! It simply illustrates purity! Purity is simply  not  having sex its a lifestyle setapart to Jesus!! Purity can be expressed in the way you, dress, act and think!! The Lord calls us all to a life of purity! Scriptures such as  I Corinthians 6:18-20 , 2Corinthians 7:1 , Colossians 3:5-6 ,Matthew 5:8 all talk about living a life pure before the Lord! This September my dear friend and purity advocate Pastor Star Williams will be speaking at a ministers conference about purity, we formed a group Gods Girls!! Gods Girls speaks to young women on living a life sold out and pure before the Lord! We will be producing over 1million abstinence contracts for all  men and women of all ages to sign to take a STAND! I know at 24 i've never dated or given my heart or body to a young man,(SHOCKING RIGHT hahaha) We'll i'm  waiting on the Lord to send me a Godly husband sold out to Christ to share myself with! In this new growing generation where instead of looking too Esthers and Ruth's, Nicki Minaj, Lady GaGa, Rhianna, and Beyonce are the feminine standard! Lets take a stand on whats right and follow CHRIST!!!

Here are some great websites of awesome young men and women who live and teach purity and are living a Setapart Life for Christ:

Happy Fathers Day!!!

Today is fathers day! I have lots of special men in my life to celebrate with!! Jesus, dad, brother, uncles, gramps 1 and 2 LOL and the really awesome men and fathers that I know!!Being a father is NOT something to take lightly, its very important! I know God will bless me with an Amzaing Godly young man/husband to be the father of my children one day :-)!!  God sees being a father as such an important role  that in 1 Timothy 4:8 the scripture says.... But if any provide not for his own , and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel. WOW an infidel is "one without faith" AKA an unbeliever!! THATS DEEP! so too all the AMAZING fathers out there HAppy Fathers Day!!!

Today was my older brother Landis's wedding. My brother Landis and I are like best friends. We have always been close we are a year apart. Growing up we did everything together, we attended the same elementry, middle school, high school and college. We had a apartmet together for 2 years. Today he was marring his girlfriend Jazzmyne. He and Jazzmyne have been together for 1 year and decided to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony after our church service. After the wedding the guest headed back to my mohter and stepfathers house for a reception. We ate, cut the cake took plenty of pictures and danced the night away! It was a bitter sweet moment watching my brother go from a young man to a grown man!! I am so proud of him.

P.S. My brother will be a father later this year in june!! I will have a niece!!!!
