Last week, I shared a little about my story and encouraged my readers to evaluate and reflect on the influence their family had on them. It’s hard to date in a Christlike manner when it wasn’t modeled in your family and you weren’t aware of that negative influence. Today, I have more to share and…
Last week, I talked about how we Christian singles are in a spiritual war, incited by the devil. To read it, click here: https://glendablogz.com/2019/04/30/strategies-to-combat-spiritual-warfare-for-the-single-christian-part-1-of-2/ Remember when I said what was inside us: our will, values, motives, emotions, thoughts, attitudes, words, and actions? Those seven entities are the biggest hooks the enemy will grapple to heave…
Dear Christian single, In case you forgot, the devil, along with the world system he influences and manipulates, hates you.

One of the stinkiest fruits in the world is the infamous durian. Its stench has been compared to sewage, vomit, and dirty socks. It only grows in tropical climates in Southeast Asia, thank God! When I was a summer missionary in the Philippines, I had to hold my nose to sample a tiny piece. Eeewwwyuu!…
Have you ever had a friend, maybe even a long-term friend from childhood or college, turn on you? I sure the heck have. Here you thought you two were cool and there weren’t any major issues. Then you started seeing warning signs that your long-term friend wasn’t so cool. Perhaps you confided in her, and…
Last week, I shared my experience with the 5-Day Challenge to Pray For Your Future Spouse. It wasn’t so much praying for a mate, but being ready for a real marriage. #pfyfs sparked all sorts of positive responses from hundreds of participants who realized how much they needed it. I got nearly all of this…
Last week, I participated in a remarkable time of prayer and teachings hosted by Jamal & Natasha Miller, the founders of Married & Young. Jamal is the Amazon best-selling author of 25 Ways to Prepare for Marriage Without Dating. They are committed to helping reduce the divorce rate in America and developed an amazing program…
