Blog entry:
Love is worth the wait.
Something worth reading, a topic worth pondering over and be frank with ourselves.
Sometimes as girls, we thought there’s something wrong with us when not many (or no) guys have ask us out, or we rarely (or never) receive any “signs of interest” from the opposite gender or when the world and majority of the people thinks that its unusual not to have a boyfriend when you reach 18 and above (or whatever age you are).
But, these doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with you. We need to be more secure of our value and worth in God and not on people. As the saying goes “good things are worth the wait”.
so, here’s some of my thoughts…
For Babes: Remember our identity and security is found in God. no one can make us feel less worthy. Someone who loves you will respect you and protect your purity. You are definitely worth the wait!!!
Romans 8: 37
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,
who have been called according to his purpose.
For Hunks: Do not settle for anything less than the best. Waiting = preparation. Train yourself spiritually and in your personal development so that when its time for you to climb up to the tree to get the best apple, you will not stumble and fall. Be a real man who is responsible and Godly!
For all: our heart is always deceitful. Rherefore, we need to constantly examine it. be very honest with your thoughts and actions. especially our motives. outwardly the actions may seems alright. but deep down, we know that we may not approach it with purity or right motives (i am guilty of this too :/).
Choose to protect your heart. guard it with all your life (i really mean..with ALL!). Because not only will you want to present this heart of yours with purity to your future partner, i am very sure he or she will appreciate this purity of heart from you too. ending this with a wonderful quote (all single ladies/babes, this is for you and i!) :)
A girl’s heart must be deeply hidden within God,
that a man must find God, to find her heart.
What all fathers should tell their daughters
From one of my all-time fave posts by Perry Noble, here’s an excerpt. Enjoy!

This past Sunday I did a message to Charisse, my soon to be born daughter, during all four services at NewSpring. I am planning on letting her see it in 2019 when she is 12! Here are the seven things I communicated to her:
#2 – Many Boys Are Jerks–Do Not Settle!
Some key points here were…
* I had a staff member tell me he would change it to “all boys are jerks…and God happens to redeem a few.” I agree!!!
* The problem with many single Christian ladies is the temptation to settle. In a recent survey I saw where 60% of the Christians in America are female…so…many of them feel like that have to take what they can get.
* I told Charisse, “Honey–it is the year 2019 right now…and many of the single ladies here are more in love with the idea of being in a relationship and being married MORE than they are in love with Jesus, and so, they settled…and during the past 12 years many of them are now divorced and have experienced some serious pain in their lives…all because they didn’t have high standards.”
* The Bible says in Ephesians 3:20 that God is able to so much more than we could ever ask or imagine…so single ladies should set incredibly high standards…and then watch God blow them out of the water.
* Lucretia, my wife, said the following question should be asked before entering ANY serious relationship! “Is this the kind of love God meant when He created Adam and Eve, the kind between two people that truly reflects His love for us (the I Corinthians 13 kind), or are you settling for less than God’s immeasurably more than anything you can ask or imagine?”
* What should a man be? What am I looking for in a man who will win the heart of my daughter? (Yes, I will make that call…I am her father!)
* A Priest – he needs to be in love with Jesus and know God’s Word. I tell single guys all the time that the best thing they can do to prepare themselves for marriage is to read the Bible over and over again…to memorize it…AND to apply it!!! If a guy doesn’t know Scripture–he cannot spiritually lead my daughter, and I will show him the door. I said in one service, “If he isn’t willing to go through the book of Leviticus for you then he isn’t worthy of you!” Your browser may not support display of this image.
* A Protector – if a guy EVER puts a lady into a situation where she feels compromised emotionally, physically or spiritually…then he is NOT a godly man, he is actually acting more like satan–seeking to manipulate her to fulfill his own selfish desires. A true man of God protects a woman AND her reputation. It was also here that I said if a boy ever puts her into a situation like I just described…then I will put him into a “situation” that will allow me to begin a prison ministry.
* A Provider – I told my little girl, “Don’t bring home some broke boy that I am going to have to support and who wants to live in my basement!” I want my little girl to marry a man who has dreams AND A JOB!!! Single guys–WORK!!! And do not e-mail me telling me that a job isn’t important–that is why you are single, you moron!!! Fall in love with Jesus–treat women like women should be treated in the eyes of God–and WORK to provide for her!!!
* I told Charisse that I want great grandkids one day…and that we can’t get racehorses breeding with mules…so marry a godly man!!!
