Two are better than one

-

Wrap me in your arms
Where I will abide 
Closer to your love 
Pure and light 
Ascending like a dove 
Like a starving child I cling to you
Overwhelm me with the heavens above 
I want more of you,
Take all of  me...

    You said two is better than one 
So let us be two in one
One body
One mind
One soul
One spirit
One heartbeat
Binding with your covenant
Strung together by a three-headed cord
Standing strong, you hold us up
No one can break up what you put together
No one can separate us from your love

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 King James Version
9 Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow but woe to him that is alone when he falleth for he hath not another to help him up. 
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat but how can one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

God has created us to desire, want and need companionship whether it be romantic or non-romantic. We are called into fellowship with one another and you can see that it has been apart of God's design from the beginning of time when God created Adam and said that it is not good for man to be alone and then made Eve, a woman. You can even see this in the animals when the flood happened and God instructed Noah to take the animals by pairs of each kind into his ship to preserve them. Also, in the newer testament of the bible you can really see how important fellowship is with Jesus and the disciples. There are many more examples in the bible (which I encourage you to read :)) but through these few examples that I gave I just want to highlight one thing that they show, which is that it is not God's desire for us to be alone.

We will never be alone as long as we know that God is always with us, for he says, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:8), which he repeats throughout the whole bible. In addition, God brings people into our lives to help us along the way and they are what I call "destiny helpers" but we just have to ask him to help guide us to them because we are not meant to walk this life alone. Most importantly, don't choose to walk this life alone but walk with Christ and let him direct your steps because with him you cannot fail! We might stumble along the way but we will not fall because he is holding our hands and will catch us if we do, we just need to trust him.

Don't Stand For Hate, Stand For Change

Galatians 5:13-15 " For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  But if ye bite and devour one another, take head that ye be not consumed by one another." I started my blog with this scripture because it really puts in perspective the current events of racial tension and police brutality against the black community, which has not started and will probably not end with the injustice and inhumane death of George Floyd and every black man or woman that has been wrongly killed.  Freedom is but an illusion in this world. Freedom is abused in this society. Where was the freedom when a man's last breath was taken from him? When is it right to take someone's life into your own hands? Isn't God the beginner and finisher of our fait? No, there is no such thing as freedom in this wor...

How to be truly happy in a season of singleness (Part 1)

-

The first question to ask is: Are  you happy with yourself? How often do you guys come across a movie, novel, social media, or even real-life where a person is intentionally single and is truly happy? Not often right... it all mostly portrays relationship goals. I'm sure you've all heard about intentional dating where you are not dating just to date but have a goal at the end of it, which is marriage. Well... it's the same with being intentionally single except the end goal is to be the best version of yourself and to learn to love yourself, which is even more important to do before entering any relationship. Your season of singleness is so essential for your personal growth, attracting the RIGHT partner and entering a HEALTHY relationship and I wish that someone would of told me this before I even started dating! For this reason, I feel like it is my duty to share some insight on how to be happy in that IMPORTANT time of being single.  When making steps towards bein...

From a time of being broken down to built up

-

Sometimes you have to be broken down in order to be built back up to the person that God has called you to be. "Break me to mend me again" is something I did not pray and ask the Lord for but it was what I really needed. For years, I struggled with my faith but it was not as extreme as this past year. The "good" difference with last year leading up to this year is that throughout my struggles I was able to encounter God more than I ever did before. It reminded me of this one scripture that says, "the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (psalm 34:18). God showed me that he was not afraid of seeing me in my mess and that in fact he did not want me to pretend to be perfect with him. It's also impossible to hide anything with God (lol), as he knows our every thought and what is in our hearts. God saw that my heart was burdened and he started to take away those burdens daily, as I felt it one by one being lifted off...
