As I ponder on thoughts of want, I review over and over again that which has defined me. Love is a gift given freely, never restrained, unconditional, sometimes unrequited but never absent. This journey that is my life which is not yet complete, has lead me to a few wonderful realities. Questions that need to be answered. This being said, I feel the need to share them with my sisters, be you young, middle age, or adorably regal in maturity.
As women , each of us want to belong to someone, yet in that search for belonging do we somehow lose sense of self? I have struggled with this conundrum for many years. Do we create from fantasy our ideal counterpart from nothing? Make Mr. Wrong, Mr. Right! Deferring all of his shortcomings to “Oh he’ll get better in time” knowing deep within the recesses of our heart this will never happen. Have we forgotten that God has given us free will in all things, including our search for that if not be it perfect mate? Have we forgotten that He loved us first, and in doing so he has truly freed us from the occasional need for the more physical presence in our lives?
In truth my sisters, do we compromise or lower our standards which were originally initiated by God to protect us, and keep us safe? Do we suffer periods of disrespect, verbal, physical and mental abuse just to say we have a man? Are we not worth more? Do we not deserve more? Especially when we know that we are all queens no matter what shade, what culture, what religious background or economic status. I am reminded of the Psalm of David, giving thanks to God, humbly acknowledging His attributes “ in a fear inspiring way , how wonderfully I am made” this attest to His love for us. Do we not deserve this kind of love? He says we are worthy, shouldn’t we believe that we are? No one person can complete us, this has been done successfully by God. Who can match it? What mortal man can challenge him?So to my sisters, take these thoughts to heart Love God first, Love self than when the season is right for it Love the one who up builds, supports, and humbles himself before you. Wait on Jehovah God.

We love because it's the only true adventure. Deal with yourself as a individual, worthy of respect and make everyone else deal with you the same way.
