Two Important Shopping Tips...

When shopping for food ...or love... never go when you're hungry and always make a list.

There are two things you should never do when you’re hungry.  When you’re hungry for food you will make poor choices at the grocery store.  When you’re hungry for love you will make poor choices on a date.

There are two places you should never go without a list.  When you grocery shop without a list you pick up things you don’t need.  When you date without a list – you pick up people you don’t need! 

What I said was... Not really sure what you heard...

Men are from the planet Mars
And women live somewhere on Venus
We sometimes speak two different languages
But can one conversation come between us?

A Proverbs 31 Woman meets a Humble Man

A Proverbs 31 Woman meets a Humble Man...

After sharing my definition of a Proverbs 31 woman, I asked a friend what kind of man he strives to be and he said a “humble man”.  He then crafted these words for me.  I asked permission to create this post because his words are too powerful not to share.

A humble man is a man of strength and character. He will do any and everything for the woman he loves. He lives to please her, for the Bible beckons and commands him. The strength that lies deep within him will bring him into alignment to not only love her, but to help cultivate the ground they both share. For in that cultivation brings strength, respect, love and honor, but eventually glory which belongs to God.

Who is the woman to have?

I don’t strive to be a “strong black woman” - instead my aim is to be a “Proverbs 31 Woman”. What is a Proverbs 31 Woman? She is: Trustworthy, kind, works joyfully, disciplined, enterprising, prudent with money, energetic, good steward, diligent, compassionate, generous, provident, elegant, industrious, poised, wise, manages her home, praiseworthy, distinguished, God-fearing, and honored.

HAPPILY EVER AFTER...
