Consumed By Desire



How many single women do you know who are almost consumed by the desire to get married? There are so many women who are longing for a relationship they are not ready to receive. If you are going to walk with God, you must understand something: Timing is everything.

When the Lord has prepared the right man for you and you for him, and that man shows up at the right time, you must be sure that you are in the right place with the right perspective to receive all that God wants to release to you.

The Bible says that “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord”.

Often, because of old issues you haven’t dealth with or old wounds that haven’t healed; you may find yourself wandering around in a stupor somewhere emotionally unprepared for a healthy relation. You will not be able to be the “good thing” you were meant to be in your husband’s life unless you are healed and whole, your man will not feel that He’s enjoying the Lord’s favor in his relationship with you.

Ladies, men do not exist to bring the favor of the Lord to your lives, either. You find the favor of the Lord by being the woman He creates you to be-by breaking the chains with which the devil had you bound b y knowing the Lord passionately and intimately, by walking in His power and worshiping Him with your life.

It Just Haven't Happened Yet, AND WHY?

Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for It Just Hasn't Happened Yet Book.jpg


We all live life differently and experience things at different times. The author encourages you to be who you are and to stop picking apart everything about yourself. She backs up the idea that we all do things (including finding love) in our own time and in our own way. Honestly, the book really makes you feel like you are fine just the way you are and that wherever you are at in your life is where you are supposed to be (which is another thing that I really loved about the book). I guess in a way it reassured me that I am doing what I need to be doing and that I am at the right place in my life.
