please don’t come

Please don't come if you will give me your attention but you won't clarify your intention. Please don't come if you'll make me feel loved and then leave me hanging and confused. Please don't come if you're unsure about your feelings and just sorting experiences. Please don't come if you couldn't tuck up your courage and pursue the right way.

Please, stay where your feet are. You can move in different directions and meet other women who are less vulnerable and sentimental. Please don't fetch me at work if you have nothing to do nor bring coffee to my table. Please don't tap my head when my shoulders are heavy. Please don't gaze at my eyes and tell your grandiose visions of the future. Please don't make any grand gestures that would make any woman fall deeply in love.

Please don't come until you're ready.

What was I made for?

You are clothed in His beauty that will never wilt. You are clothed in His strength that will never fail. You are clothed in His power that will never diminish. You are clothed with Christ himself. Christ wraps you in loving arms of grace. He will never leave you naked or shivering with shame. Garments of Splendor

Safe space

May we all pursue what He calls us to do, and may we have the courage to liberate ourselves from the limitations we put into ourselves, from the cages that we build around ourselves, from our own toxicity, pride, and unbelief. May His love be our safe space so we can pursue what He calls us to do with pure intentions and pure hearts. Take heart!

to the ones who still believe in genuine commitment

May you testify that there are still men and women in this generation who still desire a genuine commitment and Christ-centered relationship.
