My Only Hope

He was nothing that I wanted yet everything God knew I needed.

A marriage should represent more than just a label. It should represent both spouses individually through their actions and by them representing a Christlike behavior. Behaving by His Word will reflect a Godly marriage and dissolve your pride so that you can love your spouse selflessly just as God loves us.


My role is an honor.

Being a wife to my gentle hearted husband, is one of the greatest honors I'll ever receive because God intended us to be together and we'll do everything with His power to keep it that way. One of the many beautiful things in any marriage is the covenant you make with God to become from two individuals to a complete whole with God as long as you both shall live. It's a promise that you will never let the other go through anything alone. Though, remember that no human being, husband or wife, marriage or friend can fix any problem in this life but with God all things are possible. With God, complete happiness is real and you can't look for it. He GIVES it to you but only if you let Him. You have to choose to put God first.


Church doesn't define your marriage, God does.

Danny and I have a beautiful marriage because we live it for God. His plan for us may be different than many but that doesn't bother us one bit. Where we grow, is in Gods church and by 'Gods church' I mean our hearts and in our marriage. Our home is the sanctuary. He is our number one mentor, provider, Father, comforter and best friend. Without Him we would never be where we are. Sure we're newlyweds and about a two years and a half months into the rest of our lives together. We aren't perfect and time doesn't always make you an expert. But we can't go wrong with God on our side and we'll always be firm believers in that. It's not about how many times you make it to church, it's about where you're being fed.


He was nothing that I wanted yet everything God knew I needed.

When I met Danny, my hubby-to-be, The Lord whispered in my heart that he was the one. Though I was young and believed I wanted something else, God knew what I needed and what would truly bring me happiness. Then God started using Danny to show me love like I've never seen before which eventually resulted into our dating l relationship. It transformed both of us. My husband is currently and will forever be the man I would have never dreamed of this man becoming my forever soul mate if I wouldn't have let him in by listening to God. Because of it our life is abundantly blessed because of our decision to put God first. Every decision we make has been prayed about, slept on and ran by God before the final word is said. Danny has been a leader since the beginning and I'll forever be grateful. My only hope and prayers go out to the young ladies today. I want them to know that only God has their best interest. Even when you think you know yourself best. He holds your true happiness, especially when you choose to put Him in control. Trying to figure things out isn't worth wasting your time on when God has all the answers. If you let Him make the calls now then your final outcome will turn out happier than the one you intended originally on your own. God will never forsake you because He loves you more than any man ever will. You can love countless people but God has someone special for you that will help you enrich the endless blessings He has to offer. And that man will only bring out the best in you.


A hint from me to you.

Now, a helpful tip from myself. If you have any of the slightest doubt about the person you are currently with... Then that's not Him. No matter the feelings or situation. You should be completely convinced by God in your relationship because that is how you'll know who is 'the one.' So get closer to our Lord and Saviour! That's the best relationship advice anyone will ever give you.

Patience and faith my loves. ❤️

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
