Verse of the Week

"(7) But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (8) They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
- Jeremiah 17:7-8

Verse of the Week

"The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it, and are safe."
- Proverbs 18:10

Why Settle?

It’s such a liberating feeling to be with someone that makes you happy. It’s even more exhilarating to think that person is your soulmate, or the person you were destined to be with. You invest a great deal of time, effort and money into them, as well as sacrifice for them, in hopes of this being the relationship that lasts forever. Sometimes we become so consumed in it that we begin to overlook signs that maybe we are in over our heads. Maybe it starts with small habits they exhibit that starts ticking you off more than it used to. You say, “Nobody’s perfect.” Then, maybe you begin to realize the arguing happens a little more often, and usually goes unresolved. So you might say, “Every relationship has its troubles.” The list of the little things people tend to ignore in relationships goes on and on. We become blind to the truth that’s right in front of us; the truth that maybe, just maybe, we aren’t with our future wife, or husband. But how does one really determine this?

Verse of the Week

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."
- Proverbs 16:3

I Haven't Forgotten to Post Lol

I know I said the post on relationships would be released soon, and it still is. There is just a great deal of information being included in it and I wanted to make sure I hit at least most of the areas. In addition, I was traveling to Jamaica this past weekend, so that put me behind a bit. That being said, I also apologize ahead of time for it being a little lengthy. 😅 But rest assured, the information is useful. You can expect it by week's end, or the beginning of next week.

Thanks again for your patience!

Verse of the Week

"(16) So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. (17) For the flesh desires what is contrary to the spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want."
- Galatians 5:16-17

Relationship Post Soon to Come

Hope this post finds everyone well! I know you haven't heard from me in a while but I am working on a new post that continues with the theme of relationships. You can expect its release within the next two weeks, so bear with me in the meantime!

Verse of the Week

"A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation."
- Psalm 68:5

Verse of the Week

"(34) Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. (35) For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.'"
- Mark 8:34-35

Verse of the Week

"Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so human desire is never satisfied."
- Proverbs 27:20

Keep this verse in mind when making decisions with the mindset that once you do it, you will be contempt. Your human desire will never be quenched, and that is why we must learn to fight it. Instead, thirst and hunger for God.
