Woman, let your no be a no. Say it loudly. Unapologetically without drowning. Let the words living inside your heart find ways to come out of your mouth. You are not angry. You are tired. Woman, I repeat. Let your no be a no. Make your language clear before men. before your people.

Spiritual Growth

A Few Ways You Can Grow In Your Walk With Christ 

1. Spend Time In His Word. 

*It’s not all about going to church every Sunday. Do you go for attendance or to learn? How are you applying what you have learned in your daily life? What do you do the rest of the week? God wakes you up every morning. You can’t forever blame the church when your’e not doing your part.

2. Surround Yourself With Christ-Like Minded People. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have friends who aren’t believers but be careful. Birds of the same feathers flock together. 

*Seek God.

3. Understand that Community is very important. We can’t go on this journey alone. Even though Jesus came to do his father’s work, he still had disciples. There are people that God has placed in your life to help you and vice versa. Every encounter is for a purpose. 

4. Be careful of the people you surround yourself with, the music you feed your spirit and etc. 

5. Use the Bible App & The Plans They Offer.

6. If you are in college, there are organizations like Intervarsity, Chi Alpha, & Cru that can aid in helping you grow in your walk with Christ.

Pray for your lover. His heart. His body. His soul. Intercede for the one that God has allowed your soul to meet in this lifetime.

note to self: Stop pouring into souls who continuously drain you. souls who don't value your friendship. souls who make excuses. woman, you are worthy, deserving of souls who aren't self-centered and prideful. You aren't a box to be placed in based on convenience. You are far more than that box.  Never change who you are because of souls who aren't prepared to grow with you. Continue to be yourself. light you are. kind you are. caring you are. If people can't prioritize you, don't prioritize them. Friendship is a two-way street not a one way street. Leave their roots alone. Continue to plant your seeds. Water your garden. The right people will come along to bear fruits with you in due season.

A woman without a man is still a woman. A lover. A sister. A daughter. A friend. A mother. She isn’t lost. Her name isn’t lonely or angry black woman. She isn’t thirsty? She isn’t hunting for a male to carry home. She is aware of her fire; herself. Nothing can quench her thirst besides God. He alone satisfies her soul. A woman without a man is still a poem, the world is trying to understand. She is woman, every morning. every blessed day.

You will heal. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow but you will heal completely some day.

Woman, you are a poem. how you allow people to treat you is up to you. Be careful of what you welcome inside your home.
