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*

1 4 3

Friday's Inspiration Post on Saturday: "1 4 3" I was watching a movie the other night and there was a scene where a woman told someone to page her if they need her. The page was "1 4 3". From then, she assumed that he would know what it means and that she didn't necessarily have to verbalize it to him. Some of you may recognize those numbers as a very special code that means "I (1) love (4) you (3)." It's a great way to tell a person you love them without all of the mushy stuff. Translation: a cop out. Lol. Now I heard through the grapevine (in this case, the grapevine is Google.) that "1 4 3" originated in Massachusetts in 1894. The intent was to give a new system for lighthouse characteristics, giving each one a unique numerical flash. Someone decided to make 143 stand for "I Love You." and the rest is history, literally. For that reason, it's a beautiful gesture. A lighthouse signal i...

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...

When the time is right, it will be alright.

Today's scripture is brought to you by the Word of God.  🤗  It's today's scripture on my Bible app and it's also at my desk! It's a daily reminder that God's timing is far greater and more promising than our impatient, makeshift "blessings". I used to cringe when I was told, "Take your time." or "Your time will come." I cringed because I would always look at them and think, "Time? No, let's do this now!" Lol. We sometimes rush through the day, looking forward to getting off of  work. We rush through the week, living for the weekend. We rush through the year, looking forward to the new year! We will end up rushing through life, if we don't learn how to take our time and trust in God's timing. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in our hearts, yet none of us can fathom what He has done from beginning to end. He is an eternal God, having no beginning and no end. Our l...
