May you marry someone who also believes that love is a covenant, not just a feeling. Someone committed to growing together, forgiving, and choosing you every single day.

Before betrayal, I was trying to build something with someone. After betrayal, I built it alone. Healed from betrayal, I’ll share it with a certain someone. She’ll benefit from all I built in silence. I chose to be a better man, not a bitter one…. For the sake of God’s Daughter.

“I wanna know what turns you on, So I can be all that and more, I'd like to know what makes you cry, So I can be the one who always makes you smile.” Never mind me, just practicing again.

The woman who says “I’ve got your back” and proves it. The one who truly cares about your battles. Who honors you even in anger, and defends your name when you’re not around. She’s rare. She’s already a wife in heart, make her your wife in name. This woman is God’s daughter.

God has His daughters hidden. These women walk with dignity, know their worth, and carry themselves with unwavering grace. They are not chasing attention or living in the bedrooms of men. They honor their bodies & move with quiet confidence. These women are reserved for His sons.

Full length message- THE STARS WILL FALL, PT 3. As you see the heads going down, please note it will come to the root system too. Repent & walk Micah 6:8. 🙏🏽 youtube.com/watch?v=Z7ze82…

God be out here doing God-like things.

Don’t fight evil with evil. Fight evil with your absence.

Sometimes you only get one chance at the best things in life… the best man, the best woman, the best job, the best time, the best place, the best people. Don’t fumble great opportunities.

“Sorry didn't notice you there Then again you didn't notice me So we'll remain passers by Until the next time we speak I hope that I can make you mine B4 another man steals your heart…” Don’t mind me, just practicing.

Some of us have done awful things to people we were once in relationships with, during or after. It’s best to swallow your pride and apologize now. Some wait, thinking they’ll do it later. But what if later never comes, for them, or better yet, for yourself?

One thing a good man doesn’t do is play games. When he tells you he loves you, he means it. He’s speaking of the kind of love that is transparent, honest, consistent, and genuine, the kind that kisses your emotional scars and prays for you without you knowing.

Esther didn’t market herself, she was prepared in secret. Let God refine your offer in the quiet. 📌 The best launches begin in the prayer room.

You can’t love a woman according to your wounds, & you can’t lead her according to your fears. If you do, you’ll end up bleeding on her by trying to control her. She deserves better, because neither of those things look like love. Heal first, then love & lead with wholeness.

If a good man smells the stench of Ray-Ray & June-Bug on you, he will respectfully bow out until you’re ready to be loved like you deserve. That smell reeks of constant distrust, disrespect, petty arguments, entitlement, manipulation, zero accountability, and sometimes betrayal.

Ladies, be specific when complaining about men. Good men aren’t in the same category as your “Pookies & Ray-Rays.” We’re all flawed, but one group is focused and intentional. An encounter with a good man leaves a fragrance of peace, honor, and safety, & I’m not talking about sex.

Remember, the Lord creates a clean heart within us by pointing to the dirt, but we are the ones who must get the broom. That lust, that greed, the vengeance, the bitterness, the pride, the lying tongue, unforgiveness…. that’s what He wants us to sweep out of our hearts.

Heard a man say, “You can’t turn a hoe into a housewife.” He’s right, no man can. But a big God can. I know a woman who was once a homewrecker and gold digger until Jesus changed her. She’s now a faithful wife, and even apologized to the women she once hurt. God is real.

My husband always has my back - I went to a networking event with him today and as I’m talking to the person moderating the panel he slips me one of MY business cards to give her. Turns out he keeps a stack in his wallet so he can give them to potential clients/contacts 🥹❤️

Listen not only to her voice, but also to her body language. Surprise her with meaningful gestures, not just material gifts. Protect her peace, her heart, and her name, especially when she’s not around. But only give that kind of love if she’s offering the same in return.

Not everyone has the skill of communication, and it shows. You see it when someone is corrected, confronted, or simply asked to listen. Some respond with maturity. Others react with ego, blame, or silence. Clear and honest communication isn’t just rare, it’s attractive.
