Beauty (‘Lady In Waiting” by Jackie Kendall & Debby Jones) The world has convinced many Christians that the only way to get a man’s attention is through a gorgeous body. The word of God very clearly warns women not to fall into “the body beautiful trap”. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothing (1 Pet. 3:2 NIV). Although braided hair and the gold jewelry are not wrong in and of themselves, real beauty is not found on the outside. This verse does not advocate homeliness as proof of godliness.  Some women are under the misguided perception that to be holy, one must look homely. This is not true. Women should seek to look their best-challenge yourself to not devote all of your energies towards painting the outside, thus neglecting enduring qualities that need developing on the inside.

I was led to share this good WISDOM & sound, biblical advice on dating. Avoiding Bozos (From ‘Lady In Waiting’ by Jackie Kendall & Debby Jones) What is Bozo? A Bozo is a guy who’s outward appearance is a facade. It is hard to discern who he really is because of the “makeup and costume” he wears.  What he appears to be physically, socially, and even spiritually is just a performance. A Bozo is a counterfeit of a Boaz. It is possible to avoid such a clown. Your standards and convictions will help your recognize the difference. As a prerequisite to every date, you should EXAMINE your MOTIVE. Are you going out with this guy because you haven’t had a date in years? Are you going out with someone who may not really be a Christian because you think a date-even with a Bozo-is better than no date at all? Many women spend time with guys who do not really care for them. They would rather waste an evening with a Bozo than face another lonely night in a dateless co...

1 Tim 2:9-10: ‘Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control'   Your parents have the final say before you leave the house. How you dress reflects your heart. Body image, certain things you wear attracts the wrong attention, even if it’s unintentional and not meant to be in the manner that you’re dressed in. Flaunting your body(sensual dress) can attract the wrong perception from people you least expect. If you dress with tights on as pants(and that’s not the way they are to be worn), all people are going to see is what’s below your waist, like you’re all that and the same goes for shirts and dresses. people will disrespect you.. Some of your favorite stars dress this way but that’s just for performance purposes. You don’t know how they dress behind the scenes. Purity is something that should be treasured, and sensual dress removes the purity in the heart first, then in the body.   Yo...

#SINGLESAVEDLADIES: You ARE WORTH GREAT VALUE...Never compromise or settle for less than what YOU KNOW you deserve, and if you have to worry over the small things it's NOT worth your time or attention-what YOU allow is what will CONTINUE. SN: When you ask God to reveal what you need to know and HE DOES, don't be surprised, MOVE on it-

Proverbs 4:14-15 'Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way' Allow NOTHING to distract you or change your focus on anything. I learned yesterday from my first lady that I have to go WITH God, not what others want to do. God honors OBEDIENCE, and the choices you make won't be easy at first but in the long run God ALWAYS reveals himself!

#SINGLESAVEDLADIES(and Gents): Celebrate YOU, whether there is a significant other in your lives or not, know that GOD loves you and has surrounded you with people who love and want THE BEST for you!  Just because a couple is married, engaged doesn't mean they are happy and where God wants them to be and if dating, you're STILL single(not taken)until God says otherwise...EMBRACE your singleness because there's going to come a time when you'll wish you would have cherished this season-we must CONTINUALLY seek HIS WILL!
