Why is that people feel that just because you are single (not married), you are desperate to be with anyone. My standards still apply!

We all have our list of non-negotiables, relationship with God, kind, look-able (lol), good with kids, etc. We all desire our knight and shining armor, but that does not mean he won’t have some issues.

The enemy gets in our thoughts and has us to question, am I really as strong as people think? Am I really courageous? Can I really have my dreams? We don’t want others to know about our insecure thoughts. While some of those insecure thoughts come, for some they are able to stop those thoughts by speaking the word or saying positive affirmations. For others those thoughts continue.
