What I'm Learning as a Wife:
1) Focus on what's right about your relationship and trust God for the rest
(this can be hard at times because women struggle with the P word at times-patience)
2) Your husband wants to please you. Think godly thoughts about him and learn to overlook his faults and see his needs.
3) Marriage is truly a ministry. It's about more than candles and chocolates. It's truly about learning to love someone unconditionally with their flaws and all!
Share what you have learned and or learning about agape love!!!

#2 Sign of A Godly Man!!!
He is Humble! He is a humble man of God! This is a rare characteristic that separates the men from the boys. He’s confident, but not arrogant. Now mind you, most men struggle with self-centeredness. Why? Society’s standards are embedded into young boys versus God standards.
Young boys are told that being a man is being hardcore, insensitive, working hard, challenging others, and winning the game. God standards say put others before you. Do not think highly of one self. God says treat others with love and respect. In fact, be kind even to your enemy.
When you find a man that has matured and now understands that God’s way is the only true way, you have met a gem. A man that is humble will seek to please his wife first, and put his desires second. He will be able to receive from his wife. This is very, very important. If a potential mate is unable to receive from you, this is a warning sign (beware).
If a man is full of pride and don’t think a woman can tell him anything, your positive influence will be limited in his life. The wife will experience severe frustration. Husbands and wives in Christ are one. They are a team. Each person has strengths that enhance their lives and ministries. A humble man of God will welcome his wife’s input and strengths with joy.
How important is having a husband that is humble?
SONG OF THE MONTH: Give Myself Away by William McDowell
This song truly blesses my soul. By God's grace and power, I strive daily to die of my selfish will and to totally surrender all to our heavenly father. If you can get this as a single and it becomes a part of your life, you will have the fruit of selflessness that is needed to have a heavenly marriage.
Prayer: Our God, in the name of Christ Jesus, we thank you for the Holy Spirit our comforter and teacher. Holy Spirit have your way in our lives. We surrender now to you!
What’s up and blessings to all of you! This week let’s talk about the 3 Signs of A Godly man! Brothers, don’t be afraid to share your input! This post will start with
number 1!!!
#1 Sign of A Godly Man:
His pants is zipped tight, waiting for his wife!!!
That’s right; A man of God who is serious about his walk with God is not playing the hokey doke and violating himself with a woman that is not his wife. I’ve been blessed to meet a few brothers who have a strong moral conviction about abstinence. In fact, I married one (my husband). When my husband and I met, he had started practicing for more than 2 years. I could tell by the way he carried himself and interacted with me that he was serious about his Godly purity.
In a sex crazed world that tries to define a man by the number of women that he sleeps with or the type of car that he drives, this purity quality can be a rare gem to find (but God always has a remnant). Let’s get real here! Sex doesn’t make anyone a man (even cats and dogs mate.) The point is a true sign of manhood is the development of self-control, restraint, and learning how to make wise decisions. Any boy can be a male! It will take the grace of God to make a boy into a Godly man of virtue!
Yep, remember Sisters, the man of God that’s ready to become a husband will not be begging you for sex, he will join you in resisting and overcoming temptation and saying No, we need to wait until we are married. Let me clarify, it's natural for a heterosexual male to feel a longing and desire for a woman. We are not dead, but we are focusing on how to have Godly self-control over temptation. Remember, if you marry someone who never conquered his flesh to wait to have sex, you could be setting yourself up for a serious heartache down the road. Just keeping it real! Blessings to all God’s Princesses and Princes!!!

A DATE NIGHT WITH GOD: Get lost in His Presence!
There is nothing more fulfilling than spending time in God’s presence. He is just so awesome! Spending one on one time with your savior is incomparable to anything else. I can reflect back to when I was single and on a date with God at Apple Bee’s in Decatur, Georgia. I sat at the table-Christ Jesus right across from me and the bible in my hand. Oh, it’s nothing like being in the presence of a King, and the King of Kings at that! I spoke with God, meditated on the word, and enjoyed my meal. Now mind you, there were guys trying to pay for the meal and sit at the table. LOL! Nope, that was time for just God and I. Remember, a woman that has a life that’s full of passion is attractive to a man. So sitting around, counting the days, and wondering when you will meet the one will only serve to make you look desperate! So Get off the couch and go on a date with your King! While you are basking in the presence of your King Jesus, you may meet your Prince!
Date Night With God:
Take Him to the Movies
Go out to Dinner
Take A Walk in the Park
Share your date night with God at the blog: your one on one time with Him!
DON'T LET YOUR MIND PLAY TRICKS ON YOU!  Are Images of his six pack abs and his deep voice playing in your head? Press stop and delete! Don't let your mind play tricks on you. It's crucial that we are aware of what we allow to take space in our brain. Having control of your thoughts will enable you to keep your desires in check and in line with God's word.
1) Beware of movies that feed your flesh and not your spirit. Explicit sex scenes will not add virtue to your purity rolodex. You have to be careful what enters your heart through your eyes and minds. It can come back to haunt you when you least expect it. I have always enjoyed a good romantic movie, however you need to be careful. During your Single season, don't overdose on romantic shows. It could create an unnatural thirst for romance that leads you to being easily deceived by a Knight in "goat" armor. The misfit knight may be willing to play the role until he gets what he wants.
2)Keep your mind stayed on Jesus, and He will keep you in perfect peace. Meditate on God's words day and night. Let the word permeate your mind, body, and spirit. Set aside a time at least twice per day to just meditate on God's word. How do you meditate? Study the scripture word by word. Think on it, and how you can apply it to your life. God's word is powerful, and it will keep you!
New Living Translation Job 31:1
I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust..........
New Living Translation Philippians 4:8
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
I know that temptation can come at various seasons in your life, so please share; What's your favorite scripture or words of wisdom to keep your mind stayed on Jesus?
 Let's keep it real! It gets hard sometimes!
You've been waiting and waiting!
You ask God, when is my day coming?
Will it happen for me?
Could Johnny so and so be my husband? How about him(oh, that's a trashcan)?
Yep, you get delusional! Lol! Be encouraged!
Here are a few words of wisdom and scripture that kept me encouraged when I was single and waiting. Waiting for God's best for me.......- 1) You can't beat God's timing and You can't beat His blessings! In other words, don't settle for a "frozen patty" when God has a 100% Beef filet steak for you!
- 2) I love the scripture paraphased here: I present my body a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God because this is my reasonable service. This is our reasonable service. Romans 12:1
Our bodies belong to our divine creator. Keeping the commitment to wait is blessing your heavenly father, future husband, future children, and entire bloodline. Practicing Abstinence God's way is no small matter. Kingdom destiny is all wrap up in the decision that you are making to hold on and hold out until you and your Prince say "I do." Share your struggles and what you do (or did) to stay motivated in Christ to wait for your mate.
