Creating, Committing, and Practicing Our Best Selves by Ms. Christal Brown
Creating, Committing, and Practicing Our Best Selves by Ms. Christal Brown

If you are not a dancer, you may envision a rehearsal process as a place where dancers run through their routines over and over until they have reached some sort of perfection. In actuality, the rehearsal process is one of discovery. I liken rehearsal rooms to laboratories. The root word of laboratory is labor; the physical activity involved in giving birth. The physical act of investigating an idea from various perspectives and unearthing fresh understanding is the hardest and most fruitful part of my work.

In the Midst of It All by Mrs. Stephanie Allen-Gobert
In the Midst of It All by Mrs. Stephanie Allen-Gobert

But it gets better! Once I realized that God said in His Word, “And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity” (Colossians 3:14), I had to fight for my marriage. I had to remind myself that I had made a vow, and it was up to me to decide how much I truly respected and honored those vows and the love I have for God and my husband. Do I still feel hurt and betrayed at times? Yes! But in the midst of it all, I try to stay encouraged and remember that Lord is right there with me, and He makes no mistakes. What the enemy meant for the bad of my marriage and friendship with my husband, God turned it around for our good!

How to Become a “Power Single” by Ms. KCBass

But what about POWER SINGLES? Yeah, I’m sure you’re giving me all kinds of stank eye, but there is a group of strengthened-through-trial women that are taking the forefront in the world. They are present in education, politics, business, ministry, and more. They are power singles. Do you know any of these types of women? Are you one?

Letting God Be God in 2020 by Mrs. S'ambrosia Wasike
Letting God Be God in 2020 by Mrs. S'ambrosia Wasike

We all have probably heard the scripture that God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. I want to challenge you to make this scripture a mantra for the upcoming decade. When things don’t go the way you expect, remind yourself that God sees something in your future that you don’t. Remind yourself that His understanding of what is good may be the complete opposite of your understanding, but He can be trusted because His plans for us are always good.

5 Things Art Class Taught Me About Potential by Lease L. Youmans

I’ve been able to pinpoint five areas that could have helped me realize my potential, if I had utilized them properly. I hope that you find them applicable in your season of waiting as well, so that you can reach the full potential of who God wants you to be before He brings a spouse into your life.

Sustaining Yourself and Your Marriage Through Pregnancy Loss by Mrs. Dawn Greene
Sustaining Yourself and Your Marriage Through Pregnancy Loss by Mrs. Dawn Greene

I thought I had to be completely healed before I could share my story, but in all actuality, it’s important for me to tell you how much God has done for me through this tragedy (Mark 5:19). The scars remind me of the surgery, but also of God’s capability to heal, restore, sustain, and change your situation to His narrative.

Waiting is hard... like really hard by Mrs. Heidi Noel Lawton
Waiting is hard... like really hard by Mrs. Heidi Noel Lawton

Maybe there was a reason that I couldn't find the right man, or maybe there was a reason why my relationships usually ended in a bad way. My heart was sad and at times bitter, but it was during that season of waiting that God taught me a good deal about myself and about how to wait.

Are You Afraid? by Mrs. Shirley el Toby
Are You Afraid? by Mrs. Shirley el Toby

Though we have high expectations of the person we desire to marry, we expect to be accepted unconditionally, so if that person decides to point out an area in our life that needs to be changed, we become angry. But, my dear sisters who are Waiting in Heels, what you must understand is that you will not marry perfection, and perfection will not marry you. Please know that just as the dark is inevitable in the person you are waiting for, he will also act as one of the biggest lanterns in your life, aside from Christ, to expose the dark in you.

"Independence Is a Killer" by Mrs. Dawn Greene
"Independence Is a Killer" by Mrs. Dawn Greene

Were you raised to think, live, and act independently? I certainly was.  Generally speaking, women are constantly shaped to be that way. We’re instructed to “get in formation” and accomplish everything ourselves, because men just aren’t that trustworthy. While that statement may ring true in specific circumstances, it doesn’t work in marriage. How do I know? I did it.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” by Nadine Bigot
“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” by Nadine Bigot

All too often we focus on what we need to do to get married, but we never really learn how to stay married. I had been told that there would be rough moments, but I wish I had known that these moments are not something to avoid or be afraid of, because they will test your patience and faith, and they will force you to learn things about yourself that you’ve never seen before.
