The types of women who are known as “pick me” women are contributing to the deficit of men who are marriage material or even ideal for a serious relationship. I have witnessed these types of women numerous times. I believe “pick me” syndrome is a form of self-hatred and a form of idolatry- idolatry of men. It is important to note that pick me women are not those who simply hold themselves and other women...
In this post, I will talk about the importance of grace. Grace is meant to be given, as well as recived. Life is hard. The ongoing struggle against sin is real. People often disappoint each other. When I’m speaking out against sin Car , I don’t write to berate people, or because I have a personal problem with them. In a world where ideas, beliefs, and behaviors are increasingly sinful, I point to truth and...
Women often express their desire for security. Security means different things to different people. One primary example of some people’s expectations for security is having financial security. Lots of women want to marry for the sake of security. To some, security is having a husband who provides at least food, clothing, shelter and finances for the family. The material aspect of security seems to take priority for many women. In addition, a lot of women...
Jesus is not my boyfriend either. I have been noticing this for a while: some women in particular, seem to have this sappy, romantic view of Jesus Christ. Although we know that Jesus loves us and as His followers, we love Jesus, it is not that kind of love. It is far greater. We can never fully comprehend the love Jesus has for us, but we show our love for Him by obeying His commandments....
At least, that’s what some say. There are Christians claiming that a husband is not accountable to his wife. He is accountable to God only. If she bothers to bring up any concerns to him at all, she should do it only once. If she does it in the “wrong” tone or brings it up more than once, she’s “nagging.” A husband could certainly have someone he is accountable to outside of the marriage, if...
…but he doesn’t want to be present and take care of them. Sound familiar? There are plenty people who enjoy making babies, but don’t want the responsibilities of caring for, raising their children. Those of you who are familiar with this blog know that I encourage women to guard themselves overall, including their minds and bodies. This cannot be overemphasized. This post is not a jab at single fathers or single mothers at all. Sometimes,...
Some of us ladies have had tendencies to become overly zealous when we became involved with a man. For some women, this may have taken the form of idolizing men and placing them as priority over almost everything and everyone soon after they met them. For me, it was having that person on my mind almost constantly and having very strong feelings for him early on. I was positively presumptuous. It’s good to be positive...
Some women are serious-minded about having a long-term relationship and have various questions about their men, such as do the men in their lives love them? Are the men serious about being with them? What does this particular thing mean? What does that particular thing mean? What should they do about their situations? The answers are usually right there, if they closely observe and accept the facts in front of them. I know this is...
If we want to encourage someone, we normally express appreciation, admiration and support for them. We express gratitude verbally and also by giving back in some way. We often verbally praise that person. When it comes to bad behaviors, we may not necessarily verbalize agreement with how someone is acting. Yet, if we don’t verbalize disagreement, and if we go along with them or stand by them, this is indication of agreement and acceptance. Both...
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...
