You’ve probably heard some guy say this: “I will clean my act up when I find the right girl.” It’s not true. The lie is that once you find the right girl, all your problems will go away—you just need the right motivation, right? Wrong! If Jesus isn’t motivation enough to grow in maturity and pursue godliness, then you are not ready to pursue a woman. 
The truth is that when you’re in a relationship, you get their crap on top of your crap. That’s double crap. It is hard to start a healthy relationship with two immature people drowning in crap. Men, get your life together first, know where you are going, then invite a girl to come along (Prov. 16:1–9).

Woke Up Feeling New!


I have decided, with God's good of nudge of course, to step into the lane of goodness. No longer will I dwell on negative thoughts, actions, or people because they are all insignificant to His plan for me. Others should not be able to make me feel incompetent or unworthy. These folks do not create the standard, nor do they determine where I will go.
With much strength from my Father I will stand strong in the location He has put me in and do what I am supposed to do.
When my assignment is over and the next one comes, I will be the one moving on.
Leaving them to their works of discord with no one to cast it on. 
I am still full of joy.
I am still beyond blessed.
And not once has God ever ceased to be great to me.

Realizing that...and now I can once again dance in all this rain.

In Christ,
Allie J.
