Okay, materialism is dangerous for anybody. However, I aim to address and push truth to the single ladies in a world where women suffer from violence and other circumstantial afflictions at a disproportionate rate. I know that idolatry is wrong, so my expectation is that if I got into materialism, it would backfire. I truly do believe to whom much is given, much is required. I know better than to place too much importance on […]
After examining myself, my own motives and aiming to align my desires with the understanding of God’s plans for marriage, I decided to write this post on reasons not to get married. It is not an exhaustive list, but includes common motives for marriage. Even in our somewhat anti-marriage culture, there are still men and women who truly desire love and a successful marriage. I have spoken to some women on the topic of marriage […]
Where’s Your Man?
The question, “Where’s your man?” has been used as a weapon against plenty women. “Where yo man at?” It has been an effective weapon against probably just as many women. It has caused some women to feel bad about single status and some resort to compromising their values so that they can be in a relationship. “Where her man at?” is what some say to, or about women in what seems like disdain. As if […]
1. She is confident. 2. She is content being who she is. She is content with what she has accomplished and what she will continue to accomplish as she grows as a person. 3. She is not likely to envy others. 4. She is unlikely to covet what others have. 5. There is no need for her to be catty and vicious toward other women because she is confident and even appreciates the ways in […]
Holiday Blessings!
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1: 21 (KJV) Although there is no evidence that Jesus was born exactly on December 25th, it is a great joy to celebrate and be thankful on this day and be thankful every day for the greatest gift ever- our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God showed us a supreme example of […]
No, the true source of fulfillment is not having a boyfriend or husband. Many women feel very lonely. People tend to feel empty when they have a void. People sometimes live life without a sense of true purpose. This can lead to restlessness and depression. Many people are searching, but some do not seem to know exactly what they are searching for or what they really need. Everyone, whether they know it or not, needs […]
I have experienced and observed the fact that many girls grow up with critically low self-esteem due to various circumstances. Some of the circumstances take place within their homes. For example, some girls have been treated as less than by family members for being female, they have generally been restricted a lot more from various activities and held to higher standards than their brothers. In particular, this happens in some religious households. As time goes […]
10 Ways For Women To Take Responsibility And End The Blame Game.
Imagine… a man impregnates a woman and abandons her. There are certain people who would say he is a deadbeat and was wrong for leaving her. Other people may claim she shouldn’t have allowed him to get her pregnant, because he had not married her and he is not an ideal father or partner. Or, another man cheats and people blame him for straying. Some other people blame the woman that he cheated with. The […]

I have too many blessings to count, but never too many to be thankful to God for each day, including today, nationally recognized as Thanksgiving Day. Readers, I am also grateful for each of you! Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving! “O, come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. […]
11 Ways A Mother Can Influence Her Son To Respect and Value Women.
Motherhood is a beautiful, honorable thing. My own mother has demonstrated this in how she cared for my siblings and me. There are so many women, including single mothers who excel in motherhood. They aren’t perfect, but they do the best they can do to raise boys to be noble men, girls to be noble women. I have no experience as an actual mother. However, I learn about motherhood from the Bible and from observing […]
