As a single woman who's dating in 2024, it's so important to remind yourself that you deserve to be someone's first choice. You're not a backup plan. You're worthy of undivided attention, consistent effort, and chivalrous actions. Always remember your worth!

Dear Future Husband,ā¤ļø It’s a new month, and wherever you are, I pray November brings you closer to God, closer to healing, and closer to the man He is calling you to be. I pray God is preparing your heart for me just as He is preparing mine for you. I don’t know when our paths will cross, but I pray we never meet before we’re ready. May God remove every distraction, close every wrong door, and protect us from connections that could delay what He has for us. And if we’re closer to meeting than I realize, Lord, prepare me to recognize what I’ve been praying for. I’m not asking for perfect love—I’m asking for God-ordained, healthy, safe, intentional love. Until then, I’ll keep trusting God with our story.šŸ™šŸ½

NOVEMBER AFFIRMATIONS šŸ¤ŽšŸ‚ I am not behind. I will not rush love. I am worthy of healthy love. I will not settle out of loneliness. I trust God with my timeline. I choose peace over potential. I will not chase what is unsure about me. I am allowed to have standards. I deserve consistency. I deserve reciprocity. I will listen to my discernment. I will enjoy my life NOW. I am whole while I wait. I will not compare my journey. I am preparing, not just waiting. I trust what God removes. I am becoming a better me. I will protect the peace I prayed for. I still believe in LOVE. ā¤ļø I believe my wait will be worth it. I am entering November with FAITH. šŸ™šŸ½

I want my person to truly SEE me. ā¤ļø Not just my outer beauty, but the beauty of my heart. I want him to see my character, my faith, my softness, my strength, and most importantly, my love for God. I don’t want him to be so captivated by what he sees on the outside that he never becomes curious about the woman within. I want a man who yearns to know me deeper—to know my story, what shaped me, what I’ve overcome, what makes me laugh, what makes me cry, and why I go so hard for God. šŸ„¹šŸ™šŸ½ Yes, I want him to think I’m beautiful. But more than anything, I want him to fall in love with the parts of me that a picture could never show him.

Declare this, sis: šŸ’•šŸ™šŸ½ By faith, I’m believing that my next relationship will lead to marriage. I’m not preparing my heart for another heartbreak, another situationship, another almost-love, or another connection I’ll have to heal from. I’m praying that the next man I give my heart to will be THE ONE—my answered prayer, my safe place, my best friend, and eventually, my husband. ā¤ļøšŸ’

God is sending you a faithful, loving, God-fearing, praying, caring, transparent, loyal, respectful, purposeful, communicative, considerate, kind, emotionally available, patient, understanding, hardworking, intelligent, well-dressed, spontaneous, hopeless-romantic, lover-boy kind of man who listens well, loves deeply, knows how to communicate, and isn’t afraid to show you how he feels. And yes, sis… he’s gonna be FINE too. A man who won’t make loving you feel like a burden, but will feel honored to love you, choose you, protect your heart, and build a life with you. ā¤ļøšŸ’šŸ™šŸ½

Sis, you’re about to be the happiest you’ve ever been in a relationship. The next man you give your heart to is going to change your last name. ā¤ļøšŸ’ So don’t let this waiting season make you impatient enough to settle for another almost-love. Keep your standards. Keep living your life. Keep trusting God. What you’re waiting for is too important to rush just because you’re tired of waiting. Wait well, sis. The goal isn’t just to be chosen—it’s to be chosen well, loved intentionally, and ready when the right love finds you. šŸ¤

For the Woman Getting Tired: If you’ve been waiting for love for years, I know ā€œjust keep waitingā€ can get exhausting. So tonight, don’t pressure yourself to have perfect faith, just give God the little bit you have left. ā€œLord, I’m tired, but I still trust You with my heart.ā€ā¤ļø

November NO’s šŸ‚šŸ¤Ž NO to entertaining people out of loneliness. NO to going back to what God helped us leave. NO to ignoring red flags because we like somebody. NO to situationships and almost-relationships. NO to accepting breadcrumbs. NO to chasing inconsistent people. NO to confusing chemistry with compatibility. NO to breaking our boundaries for temporary attention. NO to comparing our timeline to everybody else’s. NO to neglecting our bodies, minds, and spiritual lives. NO to procrastinating on the things we keep praying about. NO to negative self-talk. NO to shrinking ourselves to keep somebody comfortable. NO to sacrificing our peace just to have somebody. NO to letting loneliness make decisions for us.

I’m not sharing this from a place of judgment because I’ve been there too. I’ve had sex outside of marriage, and I had to come to a place where I allowed God to convict me about it. ā¤ļøšŸ™šŸ½ I began to understand that sex is so much deeper than a physical act. God created something beautiful and intimate to be experienced within the safety of marriage, and for me, doing it outside of His design came with attachments, soul ties, heartbreak, and healing I never want to experience again. So now, I’m choosing abstinence—not because I think I’m better than anyone, but because I want to do love differently this time. I want God at the center of my next relationship, even when obedience is hard.

Respectfully, my future marriage has a maximum capacity of TWO. No additional members are needed. ā¤ļø

God, give her peace in the waiting. Don’t let her do it her way and leave you out this time. Block anything that comes to distract her and delay her from what you’re doing.

Not physically. Not emotionally. Not secretly. Not through inappropriate DMs, ā€œharmlessā€ flirting, or entertaining women who clearly want more than friendship. When God sends me my husband, I want a man who understands that faithfulness is more than just not sleeping with another woman. It’s about boundaries, respect, loyalty, and protecting our marriage even when I’m not in the room. And baby, I’m giving that SAME energy right back. What’s expected of him will be expected of me too. Respectfully, that is OUR marriage. No additional members needed. ā¤ļø

Waiting on God and choosing to do it His way is NOT for the weak. ā¤ļøšŸ™šŸ½ It takes discipline to walk away from what feels good when you know it isn’t good for you. It takes strength to remain abstinent when you have desires. It takes faith to stop forcing relationships, stop going back to familiar people, and trust God when you have no idea when your prayer will be answered. Some days you’ll get tired. Some nights you’ll feel lonely. You’ll question whether doing it God’s way is even worth it. But obedience will cost you something. And sometimes that ā€œsomethingā€ is temporary comfort for the peace of knowing you didn’t have to compromise yourself to receive what you prayed for.

God, for the woman reading this who desires marriage, we’re bringing that desire boldly before You. If marriage is part of Your will for her, prepare her heart and prepare the heart of the man You have for her. Order their steps, align their timing, and let nothing outside of Your will delay, distract, or deceive her. Lord, as we look toward 2027, we’re praying with expectation—not desperation. Don’t let the desire to be married cause us to settle, force connections, ignore red flags, or run ahead of You. Give us discernment to recognize what is from You and courage to walk away from what isn’t. And God, if 2027 is the year You change her relationship status from single to wife, let her testimony be, ā€œIt was worth the wait.ā€ Until then, keep preparing us for the love we’ve been praying for. In Jesus name, Amen. šŸ„¹šŸ™šŸ½ā¤ļø

Sometimes the hardest part of waiting on God is watching other people receive what you’ve been praying for. But their answered prayer is not proof that God forgot yours. Keep trusting Him, even when you don’t understand the timing.

I don’t care who agrees or disagrees, sex outside of marriage is a sin. And yes, many of us, including myself, have fallen short in this area. But whew… y’all get real quiet when THIS conversation comes up. šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø Sex is deeper than a physical act. God created it for the covenant of marriage, and stepping outside of His design can leave us carrying attachment, heartbreak, regret, and wounds we never expected. I had to learn that for myself. This isn’t about shame—it’s about conviction, repentance, and choosing differently. Abstinence isn’t always easy, but experiencing intimacy with my future husband without guilt or compromise and within God’s design? That will be worth the wait. ā¤ļøšŸ™šŸ½šŸ’

I can’t wait to worship with my man.🄹 I look forward to those moments while we’re courting and one day in our marriage…worshiping together, holding hands while we pray, covering one another in prayer, and keeping God at the center of our relationship. I don’t know when or how God will bring it all together, but I can feel my heart becoming expectant for this kind of love. Until then, I’ll keep praying, preparing, and trusting God with my love story. ā¤ļøšŸ’

I don’t just pray for a good husband. I pray that I’m becoming a good wife too. ā¤ļøšŸ’ I want the man I marry to look at me one day and thank God for answering his prayers. I want to be his safe place, his peace, his best friend, his biggest supporter, and a woman who loves him well. I’m not just waiting for my answered prayer… I’m preparing to be his too. šŸ¤
