Uh oh, I Feel Like My Girlfriend is Already My Wife

After 4 whole years of being with Emmanuella, it’s hard not to feel entitled to sex. In these four years, I’ve been faithful, loyal, patient, I’ve shown her the utmost respect, generosity and much more (I have definitely been a pain in the butt as well but that’s not the point right now). After all the flowers, edible arrangements, dinners, hours on the phone, sweet words, and Instagram features, there are moments when I feel like I’m putting in more work than half my brothers, but ain’t getting’ half of what they gettin’.

The Untold Story of the Roman Army Officer

Many of us know the story of the Centurion who shocked Jesus by his faith (If not, please take a moment and read Luke 7:1-10). Jesus was so pleased by his faith, that he said, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith" (Luke 7:9).

Season's Greetings from David & Ella

The Holiday Season is one that can sometimes be difficult to bear. For many, it is a time of much joy and cheer where appreciation for loved ones can be shown through the giving of gifts and time. But for many, it can also be a difficult time where people are constantly reminded about what they don't have, who they don't have or no longer have. 

Forget What You Know

In the movie Forbidden Kingdom, starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li, a young boy nags Chan about all the legendary Kung Fu moves that he wants to learn. Annoyed, Jackie Chan begins to fill the cup in the boy’s hands with hot water to the point of overflow. With burning hands from the spilling water, the boy urges Chan to stop, telling him that his cup is already full. To this, Jackie Chan responds, “exactly, how can your cup be filled if it is already full?”

How can your cup be filled if it is already full? It can’t. It must first be emptied. The young boy needed to forget about all those fancy moves he had heard about and seen and practiced in the mirror as a kid, and he had to be willing to learn from scratch. Then and only then, could the young boy move forward and learn the art of Kung Fu.

I'm Busy: I Don't Have Time For God!

Why is it so hard to spend quality time with God? Everyone and everything else gets our 

undivided attention, but God usually gets us when we're worn out from our day or too tired to get out of bed ..or when we need something. Our jobs, school, activities and material things get most of our time, but all these things can and will perish in a matter of seconds. Some of us take more care of our material things than our souls/spiritual life...but your car can easily be destroyed in an accident in 2 seconds, your hair can fall out, your sneakers can catch on fire BUT your spirit can either live in freedom or suffer for eternity. In any relationship, the people involved have to spend quality time with each other. A relationship without communication and quality time is dead and it cannot grow deeper in intimacy. Christianity is so much more than following a list of rules - do and don'ts.

His Chains Set Me Free: Childish Ways Are Now Behind

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. -1 Corinthians 13:11

Once upon a time, my every desire was catered to. Whether the desire was food, attention, a particular toy, or whatever else, the secret was to cry loudly. It worked almost every time. The reverse worked the same way. If there was anything I didn’t want, crying loudly was the signal for a different plate, my other toy, the channel with Barney, or whatever else I wanted changed. In those days, I got what I wanted, when I wanted it and how I wanted it.

Keep Your Eyes on Jesus

But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" - Matthew 14:30

Years ago, my Sunday school teacher would ask the class, “how many of you can honestly say that you will go to heaven if Jesus was to come back right now?” Although I never raised my hand, because it was the norm not to, I remember feeling like I would go to heaven. I remember thinking to myself, “I may not be perfect, but I’m a pretty good guy”. I remember looking around the room and thinking to myself, if I don’t make it to heaven, than most of these heathens don't stand a chance.

What Are Your Intentions With God's Daughter

If God asked you, “what are your intentions with my daughter”, what would you say? Before you search Google for a good answer, remember that this God knows and sees all things, so you can’t fool ‘em. But really, ask yourself this question. What are your intentions with that girl you are dating or that girl that you are pursuing right now? If God heard your honest answer, would He be pleased?

I want a man to look at me and say, 'THAT'S HER!'

What if Eve got as thirsty for love as we do? What if Eve got impatient like us and settled for any ‘animal’ that gave her attention Because she wouldn't wait on God’s timing …a Lion?

…LION & EVE?

How many more years is it going to take you, to realize that everything you’re doing to attract a man is never going to attract YOUR man? You always look good and you even started going to the gym, but you’re still not being treated as the queen you are! No, there is nothing wrong with you– but sis, you’ll never be the right one for the wrong person. You’re trying to awaken love before it’s time and you’re worn-out, but you keep pushing and it always ends the same, if not worse. I know it’s tough, especially when you go on Instagram and everyone is showing off their MCM or WCW, and you’re just wondering "when is someone going to show me off ?". But being someone’s WCW for months or years, just to have your pictures taken down isn't worth it; it’s actually embarrassing.

1. Marriage is so far away; you guys are young, why start waiting now?

DAVID: The start of our careers is also far away, yet we’re in school, studying, writing papers, searching for internships, etc. in hopes of best preparing ourselves for our specific offices. In the same breath, we feel that marriage is a serious office that requires serious preparation. We believe that waiting is a huge element of that preparation, and so... we wait.

ELLA: What he said… Why not start now? Before we are even a couple we are God’s children, and our relationship with Him should also come before “us”. It amazes me how we’re so quick to subtract Gods instructions, and shove Him away but not question how the society says our relationships should be. We’re starting now because we want to grow intimacy every day. You might say it’s still possible to grow in intimacy with sex, but I think people only believe that because that’s all they know. When I compare my previous relationships to me and David’s relationship, I see a huge difference! Abstinence has a way of revealing your true colors without your control, I knew I had issues but this relationship has shown me that I’m actually a hot mess. It’s done the same for David also, loving each other back to life and praying for each other has brought a tremendous amount of healing! I know waiting till marriage isn’t the easiest thing to do, actually it’s become the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But it’s brought healing I didn’t know I needed, brought me closer to God, and a relationship that always seems too good to be true. It’s worth it.
