Lets Talk about my new book!!!
I am so excited about my novel, I can't wait for you all to get your hands on your very own copy of the book!

What to expect from this fiction romance novel?  Expect the characters to deal with real life issues, London she is one of the main characters in the book. She loves the idea of "Love" but have no real idea what love is.  London, have been in relationships, but they never worked out. She becomes frantic and fearful, of the idea of being single in her thirties. London is determined to find love no matter what!

What inspired you to write a Christian love story? Great question, I wrote this story back in 2008, and  I was working at a daycare and during the time the children would sleep for nap, after making sure my work was done and children were asleep. I started typing away, because the story chose me.
I really saw the character's in my head London, Brandon, etc. so the hard part was putting all the pieces together and bringing the story to life. But I went through a tragic moment and I stopped writing the book. But in 2014 the story was coming back to me and the character's began to jump out at me and I decided to start back writing the story and then published the book in 2015! It is still in the process and will be released soon!

I knew that this story was special to me, because so many women, like London including myself. We really wanted that special someone, but somehow those relationships never worked out. I will expose the lessons that I had to learn. I will tell you God taught me a lesson, in my life. I had to learn to trust in God when he said  NO! I had to learn that singleness is not a prison sentence. It gave me a chance to know my purpose and love myself more than ever! I can say, once I learned that Jesus was with me and that I trust God no matter what!

London had to learn the same thing!  
But London she will be introduce to a love that will never leave her lonely, a love that will heal her pains and hurts. Now that is the kind of God, we serve! God will do that, for all women who is face with not knowing how to really trust God in her singleness.

What advice do you have for single men/women? 
My advice is to enjoy your life while you wait for that special person! Make sure you know your self and your purpose during a season of singleness.
I really feel that you need to fall in love with God  and trust him...make sure your relationship with Jesus is strong. Prepare your self for marriage before you say, I do or before you meet the person. You need to know what God's word say about marriage, and read books that can pour into you and prepare you for that future someone!
I hope this blessed you!

Love, Christians & Relationships- wow, when you are a single christian and everyone has so many ideas and a opinion on how to walk in a christian relationship, it can  make you feel hopeless in the process. I have read so many articles that talk about the do's and the don'ts, but I have not heard anyone mention that you need to be in love with God first!

Let me explain, in order for me to expose what my heart is trying to say, I must take you down just a brief journey down the road of my experience in Christian's & relationship's. Yes, I am single happy and saved, but  I had not always been so happy about being single. I had my share of bad break up's and lonely dark nights.

It was  2012 when I realized that my current relationship back then, was over and all of the wedding planning went out the window! I sat in my closet crying my brown eye's out to only hear the Lord whisper in my ear, that it was not the end of the world just the end of my relationship. I gathered
 myself up and talk with my auntie, over the phone, she was more like my mentor and I poured out my hurt feelings to her.

Okay, are you feeling sorry for me? Well, don't feel sorry for me at all,keep reading, my auntie began to remind me of God's promise and she told me that next time to never compromise for anyone. Yes, I had been in a relationship where I had lost myself, I had compromised in everything. But God finally, healed my heart and began to show me how I lost myself.
1.) I was always available for this one guy all the time
2.) I had put God second, by  not given God my time in the word,
3.)I had also allowed my relationship to be more sinful and less holy.

I keep going over and over in my head asking myself, how and why did I allow that to happen. I was the girl who had vowed to remain celibate, but this relationship had took a turn for the worst! I mean we were getting married, and I stop guarding my heart and everything else!

But thank God, I  ended that relationship and God was teaching me how to love MY "self" it was then and only then I began to seek more of God and the things of God! I soon became in love with my father, like... I was not just saying I love you, but I was really in love with God (smiling)!
I  did not have to wrestle with any feelings of loneliness anymore it was gone!

I was now praying to God to teach me how to be the best single that I could be, teach me how to wait on the opportunity of a loving relationship! God began to lead me to the word of God like Genesis to Ruth, etc. I  was learning that being the best version of me was a "priority" !

"Why" should we seek God instead of jumping right into another relationship so soon after a break up? Okay, glad you ask, you need time to heal and allow God to pour into you his love so you would have that substance, and understanding of who you are!  God  would want you to discover your purpose during this time and once you got it, start walking in it!

I had found "myself" in my season of growing deep in God and really given God my whole heart! I wrote a book that was filled with my testimony and my poetry! I did some more awesome things like
went back to college, I know I did not mention this information in the beginning but I am a mother of three, so going back to college full time was like a really big goal for me!

I also  wanted to write a christian novel, and I did! I am in the process right now publishing that novel, God had to show me that I was more than just single and waiting for a mate I was SOMEBODY special!
God also taught me how to set boundaries for future prospects. I want to say...when you know your self and you are for sure in love with God and someone comes along, just remain being yourself, don't change for anyone! Let the holy spirit guide you in making your choice on who you will allow in your life even as a friend.  I think the best place to start out before courtship or dating, is "friendship"  respect and honesty will go along way!
Hope my story and my tips are helpful!
