This is related to my thread "The Trials and Triumphs of Being Single".....I have a new resolve about my singleness so to help me along the way I decide to make some Dating Resolutions...so here they are:
I may need your help....so please encourage me and hold me accountable...
1) I will not date for the next year - or until God gives me permission to enter a courtship
2) I will not have fake-boyfriends or light weight "cake"*
*It sounds funny but its real..Im talking about those guys that you know wont tempt you sexually so you call them to watch a movie when you just want to be held or that guy that likes you but you dont like...but when you are feeling down...you call them and they give you emotional reassurance because they will say you are beautiful or valuable...yep I am calling myself out! Stopping those bad habits...my cheat sheet of singleness! Shame on me...Im telling all my business....
3) I will do whatever it takes to make sure that I would prefer to spend time with God over any other person and that He is truly always first in my life.
4) I will learn how to guard and protect my heart (suggestions welcome..)
5) I will not play "helpmeet" with someone* (lol...sad but true)
*This means that even though you may not be involved with someone sexually or romantically, giving them all the emotional support and encouragement that you would if you were..making sacrifices for that person...giving them special treatment...etc.
If there is no commitment involved they gets nothing from now on! No part of my milk will be free without the cow purchase not my time or my emotions...
6) I will guard my eye and ear gate by not allowing what I see or hear to reflect my resolve in this area
7) I will not **taking deep breath** cuddle with any man that I am not in an express courtship with (Lord help me!)
8) I will share my experiences, be open and honest, and try to help others who struggle in this area as well
My Prayer: Lord help me to know the truth of what you want for me...help me to flexible where you need me to and rigid where its appropriate I have never been in this place before so I am only trying to do what is in line with your word and what you have planned for my life. I need your help, guidance and wisdom. It is my desire to be
married one day but I want to do it in the way that you see fit and aligns with fulfilling your call for my life.
Continue to bring people in my life who will help me along the way. I know that sex, dating, marriage, and relationships are one of the primary things that cause men and women to fall of the track that you
have placed them on. Help me to avoid that pit. Give me wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and discernment that I may please you and live a life that makes you smile. I want to be a woman after your own
heart God. Help me...each and every day so that in all things I have your stamp of approval. I pray these things in your name Jesus. Amen.
Feel free to join me in my resolutions, modify or add your own!! These are mine based on my experiences, trials, and slip-ups. These are my personal convinctions and what I have learned is best for me.
Any input or advice to help me stick to my resolutions are welcome and appreciated!
Love yall
