Sorry...

Hey everyone,
So sorry its been so long since I last wrote. I've had some things going on. I've been talking to this guy for almost a year online and this past week it really took off and we became boyfriend and girlfriend. After we did he decided he wasn't ready for a relationship and broke if off with me. My heart is breaking I really did think this is the one God has sent for me. Anyways though he broke my heart and now I got my guard back up and don't really trust any guy right now. It hurt really bad. All the stuff he told me and then just to say sorry it's over. I feel like I was lead on. Anyways though hopefully I will have some better news next time I write but love you all and just wanted to update everyone!! I will be back with regular blog post soon:)God bless.

What I am doing...

I have felt such peace since giving my dating life over to the lord and committing to courtship. I feel so at peace. Here's what I am doing.

Giving it all over to God- I have completely given my heart over to him on all matters of dating and relationships. I have put it all in his hands!

Surrendering to his will- I am at total peace with his will in my life. Weather he have me remain single or have me married. I am at complete peace with his will over me.

Staying active in church- Getting involved and staying active in my church and being around God's people.

Reading his Word- Daily reading my bible and studying his word and applying it to my life.

Prayer- Daily praying about everything in my life and getting God's answer on everything.

When you surrender all over to the lord you feel such peace!! Have you given your all over to the lord today?

Guard your heart...

Have you ever thought about who your giving your heart too? Are you keeping it for one man or giving it away piece by piece to several guys? We need to think about how we are giving our heart away. Guard your heart like your purity. Don't go out here and date every guy that comes along. Hold and save your heart for that one special one God has for you!! That way when he comes along, you can give your whole heart to that special somebody and not just a piece of it.

I have committed...

Well after much thought and prayer I have decided to go the Courtship route:) I will be praying for God's one true match for my life!! Please be in prayer for me!! I know people is going to think Im crazy because I won't date anyone until I find the one and only one I will marry and yes I had already given my first kiss away before I found out about courtship but all that is in the past and I am starting new. I encourage young people to save there first kiss for that special somebody!! I have never really dated anyways. I have met boys before but it never did seem right and now I know God has been bringing me to the courtship path all along!! Thank you lord. Please be in prayer for me as I start this new journey in my life and praying for the right one:) God bless!!

Courtship Thoughts...

So I use to know nothing about courtship until I started blogging in October of 2007! What a journey it has been learning and reading about other couples courtships!! Sadly though before I knew any of this I gave away my first kiss and now I feel bad about it and wish I could take it back so my very first kiss could be at the alter,but I encourage other young people out there don't just give your kisses to anyone save them for that special someone that you know your going to marry!! I decided to follow courtship dating and hold my heart out for that special somebody that god has for me:) I am going to be praying and waiting on god for my husband!! Not in my own wants but in God's wants. God has showed me so much on the subject and I thank him for it:) I can't wait to begin my courtship one day when the lord sees fit to appear him to me!! I encourage all of you to wait on the one that god has in hand for you!! Blessings and love to all!!

What do you want in a guy?

I've been cooking the meals this week since mom is recovering from surgery. It's only made my dream stronger of becoming a wife and mother. It is so hard waiting!!! I know a lot of young ladies out there feel this way. We must hold on though for one day in God's time all our prince charming are going to come. Here are some things I want in a guy.

1. Good godly christian man.
2. Someone that is involved/active in church or involved in the ministry
3. Someone who loves kids and will make a great father
4. Someone who is trusting
5. One who is pure and has waited for marriage
6. Someone who respects me
7. Always speaks kind words
8. Love me for me
9. Fateful and loyal to one person
10.Gentle and sweet

That is my list of things I want in a guy,what do you girls want in a guy? Write them down it's fun to see what you come up with:) God bless!!

Courtship DVD-To be One Review

I recently got a free dvd in the mail called "To be One". It was so good!!! I highly recommend this dvd to people considering courtship. It follows the courtship story of 3 couples!! They are all very sweet and romantic couples!! So your probably wondering what is courtship? This answers all your questions in this dvd. It's all about your relationship with God and praying for the right one to marry. First of all if a guy gets a feeling about a girl instead of just dating her for a while and then dumping her when he's not happy. He instead prays about the girl for a while and if he feels that God is leading him to her. He ask permission to her father to talk to the girl! Then if the girl feels right about it and her parents after praying then the courtship begins. Correct me if I am wrong out there on this because I have recently just started researching courtship and I am new to it and this dvd helped me a lot to understand it more!! All three stories were romantic and different in there own way. No courtship is the same. Some might choose to hold hands while other choose to not touch at all til marriage. In most courtships I have seen the first kiss is saved for the wedding alter once your married, which i think is very romantic!! So I highly recommend you to watch To be One on dvd and you can purchase it by clicking here. It's such a great movie and explained so much more to me on the christian choice of courtship. Great movie!! Go buy it and watch it!!

While in your single years before Marriage...

Psalm 27:14"Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD"

I read a book a while back called "Before you meet Prince Charming"by Sarah Mally. One of my blogger friends sent it too me and it was such a blessing!! It was about dating in a christian view. Really great book and it talked about the dangers of dating! Here are some points from the book that are really good to think about while you are waiting for Mr. Right to come along. I know many young ladies struggle while they are waiting for God's will on Marriage.

*Evaluate the things your thinking of*
-Don't be discontent, your already in God's plan right now
-Learn new Homemaking skills and Bible Verses and as much of the bible as you can

*Realize getting married is not a cure for unhappiness*
-That you should put God first and number 1
-Marriage has many blessings but if you can't be happy where you are now you won't be happy in marriage

*Love where you are*
-Love your life
-Love your family and home
-Love the blessings God is giving you

*Find something to occupy your time*
-Enjoy doing something
-Learn a new Skill, there are so many things! Cooking,Cleaning,Picture taking,Crafts,Scrapbooking,Reading,Sewing and the list goes on.

*Be Happy*
-Your a child of God
-He has a plan and purpose for your life
-Look to him
