Single, Saved, and well...you know.




"...more baby showers than weddings!"-Kevon Stage

*Long sigh*

Now, at first glance, this looks like a hot mess. At second glance, I look at it and agree that this topic needs to be discussed more in church. Especially, for those who are just starting out in their walk. For the most part, as singles, we know what we aren't supposed to be doing. And we SHOULDN'T be doing those things, especially if we call ourselves followers of Christ. Sex before marriage is not God's way. However, the desire for sex doesn't just vanish into thin air. Even when you don't put yourself in those situations, it seems like most things are sexually charged and right in your face these days. They made a cat food commercial sexual, for crying out loud!



Anyway, the young lady may have the right motive and wrong method or vice versa. I'm not sure. Hopefully, she's sending out the right message. (I would have left the word horny out, but that's just me) But the fact that she was shut down for wanting to talk about it makes me wonder why this topic seems shied away from in church. The world talks about sex so openly to the point that, because it's them talking about it, it can feel wrong to do or say if you are saved. *Disclaimer: And AGAIN, people of God, we should not have sex before marriage. I feel like I have to keep stressing that so no one misreads this* I'm just stating all of this in general, guys, so please don't pop me.



This just seems like a topic that needs to be addressed more in detail, other than a dismissive "You shouldn't be thinking about that." response or something. People need to know that they can be honest with God and with themselves about how they feel. People need to know that the Holy Spirit is there to help with this. Yep, even this. People need to know sex isn't "bad", it just needs to be done the right way. People need to know, not just the why's, but the how's. You know? Who knows? Maybe we'll start have more weddings than baby showers. *Kanye shrug*

How To Be A Successful 3rd Wheel

Have you ever heard the expression "2's company, 3's a crowd"? Well, that's what people say. It makes sense when you think about it. Remember those group projects where everyone had to pair up? It made things so much easier if you actually had a partner, didn't it? No one wanted to be the only person left that had to awkwardly pull up a random chair next to perfectly aligned desks. Even adding numbers go so much smoother when there is just a couple of pairs. Add 2 and 2. Good job! You did that in less than a second. Now, add 5, 783 and 12,957. See? Too much thinking. That analogy was probably pointless, but you read it anyway. Ha! As I was saying, the odd man out has always gotten mixed reviews and that's because very few have mastered it. Here are some tips on being a successful 3rd wheel. 1) Accept it. Okay, so maybe when your friend invited you out they forgot to mention that their other friend...

Is it really real?

  What is your reality? Is it the things you see in front of you? Is it what is within arm's reach? Do you have the ability to change it? Perhaps, your reality is how you see the world around you. How do you see things? Some say, "You either see the glass half empty or half full." You can say that the "half empty" people are the "it is what it is/play with the cards that are dealt" people. And you can say that the "half full" people are the "hope for tomorrow/it'll be better soon" people. Both people have their own reality. How you see life can determine the way you live it. Think about it. That's like spending most of your time watching television and seeing other people do the things that you want to do. It will either inspire you to do them or make you feel like you'll never have the chance. Your thinking/reality will determine which actions you decide take. A big problem that a lot of us have is being way too con...

Okay, I'm writing this blog, honestly, out of mild frustration. Well, maybe not exactly frustration. It's more like disappointment. Disappointment in myself: Charelle Monae Byrd . And before you click on something else and completely ignore what I'm about to say, this is NOT a "if I can do it, so can you!" post. This is simply to say, "Girl, you are not the only one. Trust me." I'm here to talk about our least favorite past time: weight gain. It's one of the most loyal enemies you'll meet in your lifetime. When I think back, fat and I used to work well together. As of lately, it has lost it's zeal to perform as excellently and follow instructions as it did before. Let me tell you what happened. As long as I can remember, fat and I have always had a pretty good relationship. It was a little rocky at first because I was initially more concerned with her needs. I ate what I wanted, when I wanted so that she c...
