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

Good morning to all, I am sorry I have been away for a while, but I am back. School has truly been a balancing act this year. However, I have still been busy studying and growing in Christ along with balancing family, school and friends. At the beginning of the year I decided to start studying women of the Bible and it has been a truly life changing experience to really look into the lives of these women and see myself. The first woman I want to talk about is Sarah.             Sarah is one of the most beautiful women in the Bible and, her name means, “Chieftainness” or “Princess”.   Every time I reflect on the story of Sarah I remember her precisely as the wife of Abraham who could not wait on God and took matters into her own hands, a strong willed woman. Then after creating the problem, she treated Hagar, her handmaid, horribly. One could term Sarah as a “diva.” Beautiful, married to such a rich, intelligent and most impor...

Good morning to you all, I just pray that the 31 days of praying for your future husbands has been refreshing and it brought you closer to God as it did for me. It has made me trust in Him more while waiting on the one He has in store just for me. It brought a sense of hope knowing that my future husband is coming soon. Happy February to all and this month the spirit laid on my heart to prayer for/against three things this month. As we all know this month is the month of love, but the Holy Spirit said that we as single women waiting should concentrate on: 1) Praying for Strength Let's remember that in 2 Corinthians 2:19 it says, " And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." So let's continue to prayer for strength in this season in our lives. 2) Praying for Patience Isaiah 40:31 says, "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew theor strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, ...

Day #22 Dear heavenly Father, I pray that my future husband  will practice forgiveness in our relationship and with others. I pray that he will recognize any roots of bitterness, and yield any resentment and unforgiving attitudes to You. In Jesus' name I pray Amen! (Eph. 4:32; Heb. 12:15)

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 #20 Dear heavenly Father, I pray that my future husband  will yield his mind and thoughts to the Lord. I pray that he will not entertain immoral or impure thoughts, and that he will resist the temptation to indulge in pornography. In Jesus' name I pray Amen! (Prov. 27:12; 2 Cor. 10:5)

                      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...

Hey ladies I know I have been away for a while, but I am going to pick up right where I left off. Don't you think the modestly dressed women above are sexy? I think so, and not much skin was revealed to accomplish it. Women tend to say they dress a certain way to feel sexy, but you don't have to show the world your body and dress scantily to do so. In my last post a few months back I left you with this question, do you wear a bikini to the beach and if so why? Let me first answer the question, I do not wear a bikini to the beach because I feel that its just underwear made with a different material. I wear a one piece or tankini with shorts. Usually when I ask this question to women they usually say yeah why not, then I precede with the question, would you wear your underwear to the beach? They then answer no and I ask isn’t it the same thing just made with a different material? In addition, I also ask, what’s so different between the two? No one could ever seem t...

I just want to take the time out to wish each and every one of the followers of my blog a Happy New Year! This year I can feel God is going to do great and marvellous things in the lives of single women hungry and on fire for Him. My prayer for you this year is that you would get closer to Him and let go of all the baggage that might be holding you back to go higher in the Lord. Let's thank God for the lessons that we have all learned in 2013 and look toward our future in which He holds.  Let's continue to trust in the plan He has for our lives.  For Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) says ,  " For I know the plans  I have for you,” declares the  Lord , “plans to prosper  you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Wishing you all the best God has for you in this brand new year! Love, Raven

Greetings to all! I know I have been away for a while, started school again and I have been trying to get back into the swing of things and balance it all, but I am back. Ready to tackle this controversial topic of physical modesty. I want to address the reasons why I dress modestly and what I find to be modest and immodest. This is based on personal opinion and some may not agree, but I just want to get some people thinking……… In the last post I left the question, “ As a woman of God, do you dress modestly?” First and foremost I want to answer this question myself.  I think that as a woman of God I dress quite modestly, my father and brother will say that sometimes my pants are a bit too tight, but that’s the only complaint I have gotten from men that care about my way of dress. I never have my breast, back, or stomach out for the world to see, or wear shorts that are so short you can see all that God has blessed me with. I dress modestly and try to be a good representatio...

  1)     Standards can vary for different occasions. (e.g., a formal spaghetti strap dress at a wedding is more modest than a spaghetti strap top at the movie theater). Age Comments 15 Occasion is the wrong word, setting is a better word. In the living room of your own house, without any guests, sisters could probably wear almost any thing without being immodest, although their actions will still have to be modest. Outside of the home I don't think there should be a difference of standards. 18 I have questions about this. I personally have been bothered by some of the wedding dresses I've seen recently. I think I will encourage my future fiancée to choose a dress that is beyond reproach, with no possibility of causing someone to stumble. ...
