Life is a journey with various trials and tribulations complete with detours, roadblocks, and obstacles impeding progress. I’ve had my share of forks in the road that delayed a sense of continuity to finish the course. I’ve learned a lot, and have ventured into another type of journey that will define and validate my worth. I consider myself a leader, intelligent enough to allow confidence to fuel and drive me to push for success. I was fully prepared to introduce myself to you formally, but I decided to give you yet, a different twist by being subjective enough for you to see me from another angle. I’m about purpose, and right now I’m traveling with enough resolve putting God first emulating that Virtuous Woman God referred to in the Bible. I’ve come up with ten reasons why the dating game is not a mantra for me to give someone else access to me without them walking in a congruent manner with me. Read at your own risk of indifference, judgments and unexplained bouts of disbelief if you will.
1. What would Jesus Do?
I pray daily asking the Lord to order my steps concerning my actions and decisions. I decided to act accordingly by giving my life to Christ shortly before I left my three year engagement and have not looked back. If a man does not love the lord, being in a relationship with me will not work; if a man is not interested in being a husband, more than he is being a man of the world, it would be fraught with danger. With all sincerity, I am confident God is placing my husband in my life…and when he appears I will know it. No date necessary. Recently, a gentleman asked me, “so you think it’s going to happen like that? No dating, but you’re going to get a man that has never had sex with you to marry you?” Yes. I absolutely believe It will happen just like that!
2. Neyanni and Keonne
My children are my life outside of what I give to the Lord. Yes, these two babies rock my world and give me plenty of late nights. Though they are well into young children mode, the time I do get with them from the joint custody arrangement with my ex-husband, has allowed me to take mothering to another level. Spending quality time with them is important, and gives me enough joy to combat the ills of sharing them
3. Ready for Love
Being ready for love in an Agape way is preparing yourselves to understand the properties of loving the right way. For instance, try throwing out the L word on a first date and see if you get a second one. I honestly wear my heart on my sleeves, and I am not into beating around the bush or ‘seeing’ if I like someone. The older I get, the more appealing a pre-arranged marriage sounds. I can learn to love someone, but when your whole outlook is to ‘date’ and not to have sound reasoning for marriage or love biblically speaking, it usually goes awry. My whole idea is to allow the ‘just sayeth the Lord principles to guide me.
