You are not at the mercy of life. You don't have to sit down and HOPE that you will get married.You don't have to feel helpless as time passes by.There is something you can do!You can and MUST pray. But there is prayer that is emotional "God, when?' And there is prayer that actually gets results. The prayers is this episode are the kind that actually get results.
Be careful that you don't let your "spec" (your type) cause you to miss out on someone spectacular.
Most single women are tuned into only one type of man- the type they want to marry.Sure, they will be friends with other men or associate with them but do what those men think really matter?Most times, it doesn't. Find out why that's a problem in today's episode.
Before you throw in the towel, listen to this episode and see if you are doing all the things to move you closer to your dream.
No one has a right to mistreat you.You are made in the image of Almighty God and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.It is never your fault if someone treats you less than what you are worthHowever, tolerating or staying with someone that doesn't value you is YOUR choice.Move on... fast.

There comes a time in every woman's life where she has to tell herself the truth.There are certain issues that need addressing before you can effectively get to know someone and let them in your life.Do yourself a favor and "sit your butt down" during such times.Said with love.
As promised, here is part 2 of "Stop looking for your type".In this episode I'm a lot nicer and tell you what you SHOULD do instead.It's going to be amazing.God only wants the best for you.
Well.....it's a New Year And not only are you interested in you, you have your sights on a new boo.At least you hope to meet one.After all, this is THE year you get married.You are serious this time.Before you start accepting applications from all the men beating down your door, listen to this episode and find out why you should NOT be looking for your type.Sorry in advance.
Respect is earned not given right?When you get married, your husband should act in a way deserving of respect before you shower him with it right?Well let's see.....
Tall, dark and handsome with chiseled abs and take-me-away biceps loses it's appeal after some time.So does his money, power or prestige.At the end of the day, you want a happy home.You want peace, joy, laughter, care and lots of love.You want a safe and healthy environment for your children to grow up in.You want a man that loves you like Christ loves the church.Sound too good to be true?It's not if you marry a man that has the "one thing" in this episode
When you get married you will find that you don't really know your spouse the way you thought you did.You will also find that you and him are very different in your approach to life, how you handle money and how you communicate.Another thing that you are certain to come across is his ego. Ego isn't bad.It's God-given. But there's a way to navigate a man's ego to have him singing your praises and showering you with love.I give you three ways in this episode

There's nothing like having inside information.It gives you an advantage. An edge. You can have inside information in every area of your life.That means you can get answers to these questions:What is my future going to look like?Is this man genuine?What should I be doing with my life right now?If I marry him, what will our marriage be like? You don't get these questions answered by visiting a psychic. God alone knows the end from the beginning. He knows everything about you & your future. He also knows all about any man you are interested in: the kind of thoughts he has, his true intentions, his secret lifestyle (gulp) , his family background, his bad habits, etc..It would be not-so-smart to have someone who knows so much around you & you don't consult Him, Learn how to position yourself to hear from God in this episode.

Make no mistake about it, God is against adultery.Don't fall into the trap of dating a married man.Most people that find themselves in such situations never set out to be and never dreamed it could happen to them.Here's how to protect yourself.
"For Michael so loved you that he gave to you"A person can give to you without loving you (transactional, emotionless giving) but no one can love you without giving to you.Even God so loved you that He GAVE His only begotten son.Love gives.

The other day I heard a story of a man that strung a woman along for 10 years. He kept promising they would get married & that things would change but it never happened. Finally, out of frustration she left him.Good for her.......but she had given 10 years to an unhappy relationship.Most times, women stay in such situations because they feel they've already invested so much time into the relationship.It's hard to let go of something familiar even if its hurting you.We tell ourselves:What if I don't meet anyone else?What if he changes for the better & I gave up too soon?It's too late now, let's just see what happens.However, as a woman you have to take your life into your own hands and make it what you want. You don't have the power to change anyone.If you meet a man that acts in a way you don't like, RUN.RUN before you fall in love.RUN before you get pregnant & bring innocent children into the relationship.RUN before you lose your self-worth.Don't make excuses. Don't try to help him. Visualize yourself in a committed happy marriage with someone that adores you and thinks you're worth it. This episode tells you 3 things you should never let a man do & helps you to recognize warning signs.
