I like the title. Great book! :-) Most people have some measure of expectations in their relationships pertaining to character, responsibilities and so on. Compromise has its place. But not at the expense of authenticity. If they dampen my respect, admiration, or willingness to follow him I...

Very much so. Most of my happiness is derived from the Lord’s direction. Knowing my purpose and investing time and energy to its fulfillment has created immense satisfaction and peace. Setting aside behaviors and situations which outlived their usefulness or compromise my calling was...

Thank you for the compliment. :-) It’s part of my mission and something I surrendered for His use. My upbringing and disposition compelled me to use my platform to address the subject. I put my marriage and femininity on the altar and asked Him to point the way. That was His plan all along...

I surrendered my connections when I returned to God. He’s brought rich friendships with loving and mature women whose support and presence I treasure. I don’t have the same with the opposite sex and I’ve never been encouraged to develop them. For me, it’s preferable. When I’m engaging with a...

In my opinion, loveliness encompasses multiple spheres which include the mind, body, spirit, sexuality, deportment, and speech. We demonstrate femininity in our attire by choosing clothing that’s well fitting and appropriate for the place or occasion we’re attending. Given the differences in...

I begin with the end in mind and work backwards to my present point and look for related activities that will assist or improve its accomplishment. When I get the green light, I’m further ahead and covered a lot of ground in the preliminary phase. That’s a blend of practical and spiritual...

I’m my own mistress. I have no boss, partner or spouse. I answer to God alone. I’m self-directed with spiritual and natural gifting in leadership. I will follow someone whose vision, experience, and plan is sound and resonates with my spirit. Wisdom and a giant dollop of commonsense aides my...

You believe an absence of physical attractiveness and disability are the lone reasons you’re unable to make friends? Is it possible you’re overlooking the real issue? What do you talk about? What do you like to do in your free time?

I recall several articles and a book (The Dating Manifesto) that tackled this issue. The consensus was too many waste time in lengthy relationships and engagements which never move beyond that stage. I think most people are aware within a year’s time if they can see themselves spending their...

I don’t believe you must be in love to marry. That’s a western ideal. But I think it’s important that both are God fearing and committed to upholding His will and word in the union. Some marriages are vehicles for purposeful work and love develops en route to its completion. Look up Derek...

I would seek the answer in prayer and fasting. On occasion, He will bring it through a loved one or friend whose walk and maturity are evident. The challenge with venues like these is few (if any) are praying before they reply. And I couldn’t stake my decision on head knowledge. I must know...

I think most have been in a meeting or two where this is obvious. :-)

That doesn’t imply their laurels are related to the subject being discussed. :) Some people equate talk with doing or they’re happy to raise the issue but prefer others to take up the work. It’s the difference between X is terrible and X is terrible and here’s what I’m doing or how I’m...

You are too swift to say what someone understands or knows because their experiences differ And demonstrate the same in your replies frequently. Most users aren’t from your vicinity and what holds true for you may not apply to another. Do you understand the difference between assumption and...

Sometimes the easiest way to understand a concept is to apply it in a different context. If you finish at the top of your class with excellent grades, internships, and extra curricular activities. Are you accepting the first employment offer given? Or do you have a benchmark that’s more in line...

If you plan to claim the winnings, that holds true. I researched it in the past. Our Powerball jackpots can get really big. I agree it’s harmful. But the fantasy sells tickets and brings ratings elsewhere. Kidnapping is a big possibility for larger winnings. Protection doesn’t come cheap. One...

I think arranged marriages can work if both are yielded to God and have a shared mission they’re working towards. Derek Prince is a good example. But few would marry someone they’re not attracted to solely on the belief they’re being led by God. There’s usually a combination of mutual interest...

No one can control their beginning and that influences many life choices. Especially in early years. If you come from a large family the realities of wedding planning may be strikingly different than an only child or lone sibling. The same holds true if you’re footing the bill or your parents...

Yet, the majority of modern day Martha Stewart’s and Julia Child’s filling the Internet and social media feeds aren’t stay-at-home wives or mothers. They’re industrious women who saw a hole in the market and exploited it. Most worked and built their businesses over time. Which goes to prove...

There’s no choice in the US. They hold a press conference and the person appears on a morning talk show the follow day. There may be additional publicity before they leave you alone. You must agree to it to receive the winnings. Ideally, the person hires a great team and fields requests for...
