I've pulled myself away from reading books about relationships. The type of relationships that would prepare me for a mate, things to look for in a mate and/or how to become the person I want to be with. In my season of singleness I do not want my conversations to focus on waiting to be in a relationship. Rather, I want my conversations center on Christ & His goodness. I want to use this time wisely. So I thought of ways that would stretch me to allow God to move that I may be a better disciple. God calls His disciples to make disciples Matt28:19a. So I've been reading books like How to study the bible (John MacArthur), To live is Christ to die is gain (Matt Chandler) Believing God ( Beth Moore) gods at War (Kyle Idleman) and a host of others. Just books that would better equip me to be a better witness for Christ.

There's nothing wrong with reading on how to better yourself within relationships however as Christians the main relationship we should be concern about is the one we have with Christ. If we are on one accord with Christ our relationships with other will reflect that of the relationship with Christ & His bride(The Church) .

All of that to say I agree with the title of this book. As women we want men to call, to open doors, pull out chairs among other things but we do not require or request it so if we do not uphold our end as ladies why do we expect males to be gentleman. "Real Men Don't Text" is currently free on iBooks and Bookshout I am not sure for how long it will be free. Get it while the getting is good. #RealMenDontText #RuthieDean #JesusLover #SickWithIt #IGottaFixMe #WeGottaFixUs #ButtonsIsBlessed #PregnantWithAPurpose #ChangeYourThoughtsChangeYourLife #WontHeDoIt #ShesPeculiar #MySoulLovesJesus #ILoveMyCity #NOLA #HappyToSee26

Learn YOU. Like YOU. Love YOU. Thank God for loving you before you loved yourself. Before you knew yourself. Before you knew what love is. Figure out your strengths & weaknesses and play on them in your favor. There's power in knowing yourself. There's power in knowing your worth. You are worthy, you were worth Christ dying for ( 2 Corinthians 5 : 21) You are beautiful. Forget what society may say, you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139: 14) you were made in the image of God (Gen 1:27) why are you waiting for others to celebrate/applaud/validate/confirm who you are when God has already done it. No one can change your mind about who you are if you already know who you are and whose you are. The compliments are sweet but I don't need them to thrive or survive. Be complete & confident in Christ Jesus. Whole Cookies 🍪 don't need validation. W/o validation half-cookies will crumble don't let that be you. #JesusLover #SickWithIt #IGottaFixMe #WeGottaFixUs #ButtonsIsBlessed #PregnantWithAPurpose #ChangeYourThoughtsChangeYourLife #WontHeDoIt #ShesPeculiar #ILoveMyCity #NOLA #HappyToSee26 #LexiLectures ✊💋💛
