This is great! I've never been in a relationship before and have never been persued. And being in my late 20s, I have always felt like I've missed out on dating and stuff. But I'm finally realizing that God has been protecting me from heartbreak. Especially seeing all my friends who have been in a relationship and I saw their hurt and pain, I'm glad I didn't go through that being so young and naive. I do hope and pray of being in a relationship and getting married. But I will wait on God and His perfect timing 😊❤
The not sticking with convictions even while seeing the red flags is SO RELATABLE. May God break us free from the fear and also help us to be obedient to God
I completely relate with the “fit it Felix” mentality. I literally had a Savior complex with my first boyfriend and so even when I was unhappy and felt wronged, I just sucked it up and endured it because I felt like I had the emotional capacity to. But when I told my mom this, she was like, “Why are you trying to carry all of his burdens? Are you God?”
He was a first year of college kinda boyfriend, not even my husband, yet I was here tryna make something work when it was obviously irreconcilably broken. I’ve learned a lot since then and I pray the Lord continues to give me wisdom on this dating issue going forward
God really teaches us a lot through relationships! I’m still constantly learning things in my marriage and through my friendships! I’m glad your mom could also speak those words to you as I’m sure they helped you see more clearly what was happening!! Praise the Lord for wise council in our lives, right??☺️
I can relate so much to what you said about breaking up with your now husband & how God has been so gracious. My husband & I have a similar story & I had so many convictions while dating him. We were young and so attached to each other, it made it so hard to leave, so I didn’t. We have been married almost 5 years now & God has been so gracious working in our marriage & in transforming both our hearts.
God is so good! I’m so glad to hear He did a similar thing in your relationship!💛☺️
One verse that helps me out is proverbs 4:23 csb Guard your heart above all else for its the source of life...it's important to guard your heart from people and from the trash and evil in world to keep your heart pure for the pure in heart shall see God ....take care God bless 🙌
Amen!
I will give you this, you even back then before you were a Christian you were a much better woman to date than most other women out there. Right now your husband is truly blessed to have you and the advice you give is truly helpful to all of the young women out there.
Thank you! That’s very kind!
I’m so glad I came across this video. It’s actually helped me realize that a lot of my relationships weren’t actually relationships. A lot of what you’ve said resonates and leads me to truly unpack everything that went wrong so I can prepare for what’s right. Thank you for sharing your story
This is actually really good advice thanks so much I haven't had a real relationship yet so yeah but and I'm very introverted person and don't really like standing up to people because I don't want to hurt feelings.I sometimes worry that I haven't dated anyone yet even tho I know God's got someone for me it's just kinda hard as a teenager tho anyways God bless you
Aw girl! I’m so glad this could help! And you’re exactly right, in God’s timing! 🙏🏻💛
Great video! I feel like I'm listening to myself talk. This was me back in the days of dating. If only I would have listened to the convictions from God. I'm thankful that with God's help I eventually woke up and my eyes were open to what God really wanted for me and my life. Thank the Lord that I'm now married to my wonderful husband and I don't have to date anymore. In April we will be celebrating our 16th anniversary. 🙏🙏🙏 Only by the grace of God. 🙏
I still have not figured it out. I thought that I had to fix all of my friendship issues because I grew up thinking that good Christians were nice, kind, and loving to everyone, and it was clear that I failed at that, and I thought that good Christians were perfect at everything. Thankfully I finally understood how much of I sinner that I truly am and am glad that Christ died on the cross for us because we cannot do it at all. (also thanks for getting Bob the Builder in my head 🤣🤣 )
You’re not the only one who has thought that! It’s a freeing reality to get to the point where you see that Christians aren’t perfect, but they’re forgiven 🙏🏻🙌🏼 and that really helps in all relationships, not just the romantic ones!
@@_KendraChristine Amen.
Great video, I really needed this. I love content like this.
I'm so glad you liked it Bridgette!
That's a trip I was just thinking about confidence in general, like everyday confidence and I clicked on your video. Great insight, I totally can relate to God being there even in our bad decisions or lack of making a decision. God really meets us in our mess.
Great video Kendra I’ve been thinking about getting in the dating world and I really liked the advice in this video
Thank you William!
@@_KendraChristine your welcome
Emotional boundaries with single christian guys online and face to face is important
Keeping you in prayer sister 💜 and thanks for sharing! Man it's been a ride, I've been through a lot of stuff these past months including my boyfriend breaking up with me . . After 3 months, he initiated meeting up and God has been doing a lot with us individually; we are now praying about moving forward together again and in an even more intentional way. Relationships are a lot of work and especially long distance, but in the end if it's meant to be, we cannot mess up God's plan. Of course that doesn't negate our responsibility before God to seek and obey Him. But He uses our mistakes even in His plan and if we are submitted to Him and belong to Him, He turns all of that around for our good 💕
Oh girl, I didn’t know about the breakup, I’m sure this has been such a difficult thing to walk through! I pray God gives you both peace and comfort in the path you’re meant to walk down 💛🙏🏻
Thank you friend 💜 praying for what glorifies God the most 🙏🏼
Girl, I am 26 and I’ve only been in one. I got in my first relationship at 25. Newly single.
Thanks for sharing this! I can definitely relate to your message and now I’m at the point of just trusting God’s timing in these situations!
Amen🙏🏻 i know it can be hard not knowing His timing, but I’m glad we can rest in knowing that He is good!
Hi Kendra...
How are you? Thanks for sharing this video.
If I can start all over again, things would have been different.
I rushed into my relationship to fast. I guess I didn't know what I wanted in life.
I should have thought of getting a real Christian man. What I was doing was trying to fix my man,which I should have known I can't fix him GOD has to fix him. I was trying to do GOD'S work.
Until someone told me leave it in GOD'S HANDS.
All the men's I had in my life did me wrong and they drank alot. I had bad luck with men's. That's when I should had left the men's alone and work on myself first. I should have focus myself on GOD first,that was before I became a Christian.
My life was a mess at the time. I was confused about everything!!🤦🏽♀️
Until one day GOD open my eyes👀and change things around in my life.
I left my boyfriend at one time because he use to drink to much. He came looking 👀 for me. I told him if he wants me back he needs to change his ways and his drinking.
So he decided to do that.
I started going back to Church then I met my Pastor. It's a long story.
Anyway my boyfriend and I were separated for a while because we weren't aloud to live together if I wanted to do the right thing. At first my boyfriend didn't understand. To make things right we had to get marry👰if we wanted to be together.
I got saved in December 13, 2016 and Baptize in October 2017. My husband got saved in May 2017 and saved in 2018.
GOD has changed his heart ❤ around. He doesn't drink anymore.
PTL 🤗🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🙏
This man I was with him for 13 years before he decided he wanted to get married with me!! I ALWAYS wanted to be with someone that is going to marry me.
FINALLY!! He decided he wanted to get married 👰
GOD open up his eyes 👀 and Heart ❤
We got married 👰in September 24th, 2018.
1 day before my Birthday. Now it's been 16 years together and going on 4 years married 👰
Wait, a girl who wants to fix the boy(friend)?! Never heard of that. 😉
Yeah, there are _too many_ women who spend _too much_ time trying to fix bad guys that are not good for them and don't want to be fixed. _Too many_ good guys left standing alone waiting while girls are busy trying to save their hopeless relationship.
Congratulations to your marriage.
Kendra....
I written to you but It's under Tyler comment. It's a long story, so go check it out. Idk why I put it there? Lol 😀
I was like you Kendra, trying to fix everything!! I hear you on that. I had to leave that in GOD'S HANDS.
That's how I feel, I didn't listen to GOD at that time. I felt I had no where to go but to stay with my husband,but I had no choice. Now we are married 👰we have to make this work.
We are doing much better now. I stayed in this relationship too. I had LOVE ❤ my husband too. It would had been hard for me if I had walked away from him. I felt GOD wanted me to give him another chance. That's what I did.
Thanx for your testimony. 🤗🙌🏽🙏
I had my first bf in middle school then when I was a senior he told me he was gay. He’s not a good friend to me now. We don’t even talk. I was so sad. I am talking to 3 but two of them don’t text me or even talk to me much. I’m a bad rusher. I thought I could fix him being gay too but it didn’t work. We are very similar lol
Best to me is to be single
