Single, Saved & Waiting....................

Happy November! I know I have been gone for a while. School has been so hectic this semester, but I have still been praying for you all and I am so happy God has used me to touch so many people out there to keep them encouraged while they are in they waiting period! This year has gone by so quickly....we are in November already and next month it will be Christmas time. For this month God has laid on my heart that we should pray for three things: 1) A hunger, thirst and desire for the things of God!  " As the deer  pants for streams of water,  so my soul pants  for you, my God. " Psalms 42:1 (NIV) 2) To trust in Him fully, surrendering all to Him, withholding nothing!  " Trust in the  Lord  with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV) 3) To increase our faith! " But without faith it is impossible to please him: for h...

Day #31 Dear heavenly Father, I pray that my future husband  will recognize the lies of the Enemy in his life. I pray that his attitudes and actions will be guided by the truth as he brings his thoughts into captivity to the Word of God.  In Jesus' name I pray, Amen! (John 8:44; 2 Cor. 10:4-5)

Day #28 Dear heavenly Father, I pray that my future husband  will be a man of prayer. Pray that he will seek and pursue God in purposeful quiet times. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen! (1 Thess. 5:17; Luke 22:46; James 5:16)

Day #26 Dear heavenly Father, I pray that my future husband  will discover and live his God-given purpose. I pray that he will offer all his dreams to the Lord, and pursue only those goals that will bring God glory and count for eternity. In Jesus' name I pray, amen! (Jer. 29:11; 1 Cor. 10:31) 

"There is a a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven."  Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)    Many single women wonder if they're in a season, or if they will remain single forever. Even Christian women can get hung up on God's timing. If relationships move too slowly, we get frustrated. One of the exciting things about God being at the helm is that He knows every season of our life, even before it comes.    So, what season are you in, daughter of God? Are you in an autumn season? Life seems to be slowing down? Perhaps you're in a bleak winter, where potential relationships with the opposite sex seem impossible. Maybe you're entering a springtime season, where your hopes are lifting and new possibilities rise up at every turn. Or perhaps you're in the middle of summer, where everything is in full bloom.    Regardless of where you are, God is ready to meet you there. He alone knows when the seasons will shift- but when they...

Day #21 Dear heavenly Father, I pray that my future husband  will learn how to relax in the Lord and, in his greatest times of stress, find joy and peace in his relationship with God. I pray that he will  submit his schedule to the Lord. In Jesus' name I pray Amen! (Neh. 8:10; Prov. 17:22; Ps. 16:11)

Day #19 Dear heavenly Father, I pray that my future  will be patient and a man of peace. I pray that he will not give in to anger, but will allow the Holy Spirit to control his responses. In Jesus' name I Pray Amen! (Rom. 14:19; Ps. 34:14)

Day #18  Dear heavenly Father, I pray that my future husband  will have an eternal perspective—living in light of eternity. I pray that he will reject materialism and temporal values and put God first in his life.  In Jesus' name I pray Amen! (Matt. 6:33; Deut. 6:5; Eph. 5:16; Ps. 90:12)

                      Well ladies I don't know about you, but there seems to be some sort of fever going around. Everyone around me seems to be getting engaged and if not engaged married. Here I sit, in my mid twenties, single, a virgin, and it seems like no prospects in sight. Yet every time I log onto Facebook there is some newly engaged couple or someone got married once again or there are pictures of happy couples so in love. Every time I turn on the television its another romantic movie, or television show on…..             The enemy tries each time to make me feel lonely, that I am getting old, and that I will end up alone. At this point I'm asking God why hasn't my time come to love? Why hasn't my time come to have someone to call my own. Lord I've stayed true to my vow to save myself for my husband, and I have been by the grace of God been living my life for You, growing, and walki...

Day #11 Dear heavenly Father, I pray that my future husband  will have a humble, teachable spirit and a servant’s heart before the Lord. I pray that he will listen to God and desire to do His will. In Jesus' name I pray Amen! (Prov. 15:33; Eph. 6:6)

  Day #5 Dear heavenly Father, I pray that my future husband will be faithful to his wedding vows. I pray that he will have a desire to cultivate our relationship as a sign of his loyalty and commitment to me, and as a picture of Your love for the Church. In Jesus' name, amen! (Prov. 20:6; Gen. 2:24)

Day #4 Dear heavenly Father, I pray that my future husband will grow in leadership skills in our relationship—protecting and providing for me. I pray that he will lead me wisely and love me sacrificially like You loved the church, so that You will be glorified in our marriage. In Jesus's name, amen! (Eph. 5:25-29; Col. 3:19) 

  Day #2 Dear heavenly Father, I pray that my future husband’s relationship with You and Your Word will bear fruit in his life. I pray that he will be a man of wisdom and understanding, and most importantly a man after Your own heart and fearing You. In Jesus' name I pray amen! (Prov. 3:7, 9:10; Ps. 112:1)

Hey all, I know I have been away for such a long time, and this semester in school has been the worst so far, but by the grace of God I got through. During this semester, God has taught me so much during my single season that I will share with you in the upcoming new year. I just wanted to take some time out to wish you all a Merry Christmas and remember Jesus is the reason for the season. In the midst of all the gifts and trees, the movies, just remember that God gave us the greatest gift by coming down in flesh and dying for our sins and blessing us with the gift of salvation and eternal life. Oh what love.......I just want to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and celebrate the gift God gave to the world and enjoy spending time with your family and friends and showing love! I pray and plead the blood of Jesus over each household that you all would be protected and it would be a peaceful, enjoyable holiday season. Love you all, Raven 

Yet another friend gets engaged or married or even starts a new relationship. And yes you are still alone, waiting…. Waiting for your happily ever after, waiting on your prince charming, waiting, as we singles say, to start life. But are we truly waiting on God? Wait is defined by Webster’s dictionary as, “to remain stationary in readiness or expectation, to stay in place in expectation of.” As was stated in my last post over a week ago, I let it go and have totally given God full control over the area concerning my love life. I have had a peace that passes all understanding, putting total trust in Him and His plan for my life. Yes I long to be in love, be married, have kids and live happily ever after, but I remember a verse that a mother in my church always encouraged me with. It says in Matthew 6:33 (KJV), “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” This verse says ALL things, not some, but ALL things will ...

“The question still remains….why am I still single? Lord why? I am a good Christian woman, I have been living right and being obedient to your word, yet I am still waiting for You to send my prince charming. I look around and everyone is either married, or in a relationship and on the road to marriage. When is my Boaz coming Lord? When will I get married and have children? When Lord when?” Many of you single women out there can relate to the above release of frustration to the Lord, when we feel lonely, someone gets engaged, married or even starts a new relationship, and you are still alone. You tend to vent to the Lord, as I did above, when that feeling of loneliness or the feeling that you have somehow been left behind is been planted by the enemy. There are times when my circumstances and where I am in life as a single woman doesn’t bother me, but there are times I vent. I am human and I feel, but in these times I find my way back to God’s word and resting and believing in Hi...
