"Oh You Single Women"

Image
Where do I begin? To me this subject is always a sensitive one. This topic along with other subjects was discussed in my church Pastorate (Bible group) a few days ago and yes we had a few people (women) ask majority of the single, dating questions. Surprise, Surprise. See the thing is, what does being a single woman actually mean? To me, being single means not married yet. Then you might ask, what about Dating? Dating means, being interested in someone who might potentially become your partner, that is to say you ‘like’ them; if not you move unto the next one (this can be very dangerous). But Biblically speaking, dating didn't exist.  Plain and simple . Therefore I go back to my first example: Single means ‘NOT’ married. Being single for me has had its lows & highs. I write this blog not only from my experiences but also from observation. I’ve had my share of ‘dating’; I’ve even been close to being married at one point. But at the end of the day, s...

"Why settle for less when you can have God's best?"

Image
You may be a humble person to appreciate what you get even if it’s not how you hoped it to be and then just settle down knowing deep down inside, you could have got or done more. It's about time we took greater steps of hope in believing, even if you haven't got that thing or conquered that situation as you hoped to, the next time  YOU WILL . There are great things to achieve in this world that we live in. We just need to stop settling and start claiming... You may say, ‘well Faith I really did try all I could to keep this relationship going, I've given my all, but yet still, s/he doesn't show me know respect or love’… Uhh that means you are working too hard for someone’s affection which they don’t want to give you. I believe if in a relationship and you feel you have tried all you can to show someone how you really feel and they are not showing you back, even when you have spoken about it to them and they don’t acknowledge it. Then cl...

"Beauty Through Song"

Image
So I've put together some of my favourite 'Beautiful Songs' , Remember if its not said in person, it can be expressed through song. Enjoy whilst you either take time to listen or read the meaningful lyrics. 1) You are so beautiful to me - Joe Cocker     Such simple words, with such a touching meaning. There is someone out there who feels like this about you. Some have this someone now, and some long for this type of guy who will cherish them and make them feel like they are meant all these simple words…. There is hope, so keep your beauty shining and I believe that someone will come along soon. 2)  Beautiful- Christina Aguilera I remember when this song first came out...truly amazing lyrics with a meaningful message. It really makes you think, and understand that some of us really have difficult times that we face especially with identity. But the hope is that we are all made in a unique way and we should embrace it, no matter wh...

"In her shoes: If the shoes don't fit!"

Image
Don't these shoes look awesome? Well, their not mines, they belong to my cousin Mary. The thing is I look up to my big cousin, and as high as these heels are she glides with ease. However with me on the other hand, it takes some time, uncomfortable feelings & sometimes pain, (hey, don't judge me, yes, I'm still learning to walk in heels). The thing is, I wanted to be just like her and walk in all these glamour heels. And at the age of 20/21, I dated this guy who liked his ladies in heels. And yes I liked him at the time, so I wanted to please him. My next actions was going into Top Shop and buying a pair of boot heels. I still remember them till today, they looked cute from the outside, black & sophisticated, but boy once they went on maybe half an hour, they began to hurt. You could say I was walking like a 'chicken'... Lol... Heels were just not for me at that time. See, we as ladies look great in heels and there are certain ones that ...

"You Are Perfect In God’s Eyes"

Hey Beautiful’s , I love reading Joseph Prince Daily Grace Inspirations , it always inspires me to move forward, with my head lifted high, reminding me that I am not condemned, but free and forgiven and this truth/hope is the same for you. Below you will find today's Grace Inspiration by Joseph Prince. As I was encouraged I hope you also will be. .Keep being beautiful . Hebrews 10:12, 14, KJV 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God... 14 For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. God sees you with no flaw, spot or imperfection, so honour His Word and the finished work of His Son by saying, “Amen!” Don’t doubt your perfection in Christ. To see yourself, as far from being perfect is not modesty, but a failure to understand the perfect sacrifice that Jesus has made for you. The Bible tells us, “For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified”. Did you ge...

"Looking for love in all the wrong places..."

Image
Originally Written on: 05/09/2012 There where times when I felt so low, so alone & so unworthy. I would not even do the honours of looking in the mirror to tell myself this, but I was constantly thinking this whilst wondering will someone ever love me? I would wish to be in a relationship, just to feel wanted, appreciated and loved, but each one either left me feeling ashamed or heart broken. Times have flown past, and yes God calls, He reaches out to me. At this point, you can either say 'Yes Lord I'm listening', or turn away & ignore the call. Many times I turned away, but not this time. Enough was enough. Ladies, there are so many of us, who hide behind the negative thoughts the longing to be loved that we miss the one true love from our Heavenly Father Jesus Christ. When I wrote in my journals, about how much I wished to be in a relationship & be treated better or just to be happy, there was always a tug upon my heart to find it ...

"You are Special"

Image
Originally Written: 19/06/2012  You can walk on with your head lifted high, for you are Special. Not many people here those words spoken to them. But it’s truer than you will ever know. Yes, you might not seem to be like everyone else. But that should make you smile, for you are no one else but yourself. You are an amazing, talented, strong, beautiful person both inside and out. And it’s only all the negativity of the world or past mistakes, hurts or wounds that will make you feel otherwise. But please do hear me. You are stronger than you know, bolder than you ever think and have an amazing smile. You might not hear this spoken to you, but there is no time like the presence and this is what God thinks of you. When you smile and feel real peace and joy in your heart, it makes Him smile. He is not made at you. He just wants what is best for you. His word says: If earthly fathers can give good gifts, how much more will your heavenly father give you good gifts ...

"Do you know that you are perfectly made?"

Originally Written on: 19/06/2012 It seems at times we give ourselves less credit than we are due. We belittle ourselves to what society says rather than acknowledging and appreciating who we truly are. After all Society didn’t originally create us, God did. If we allow society to shape our identity, we tend to loses ourselves and become what others expect us to be. You where made the way you are for a reason, some of us might not see it right now, or some of us are actually not looking hard enough. Ladies we allow ourselves to be blinded from our own beauty that we embrace others beauty instead of our own. Question: What makes you think you are not beautiful, What makes you think someone else looks better than you, Who told you that are not beautiful, Is the word ‘Beautiful’ ever use towards you? All these questions have different answers from different ladies views or life experiences. But the main answer to all the above, is that no matter, what people may...
