This week my boyfriend and I are diving into what it means to wait until marriage to have sex. We understand that this topic is not popular in culture and we are not here to condemn or judge anyone within this episode, we simply want to share God’s blessings within our obedience!
When we first met, we were having sex but overtime it did not take long for us to realize we did not want that in our relationship anymore. I always had this feeling that if we did not stop having sex, God was going to tear us apart from each other.
This wasn’t something that could have happened just by us, this was something that God changed within us over time. The only way we did this was by lots of communication, prayer, and lots of vulnerable moments together. This has to be mutual!
Main Highlights: Our story (5:25) The struggles within stopping & God changing our hearts (11:55) Important scripture (21:35)Bible verse highlighted:
Genesis 2:24 “This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife and the two are united into one.”

I personally have been through my fair share of toxic relationships, so I want to help others who may be experiencing their own share of toxic situations. It is important to set boundaries in any type of relationship. This does not just involve significant other relationships, this includes your work environment, family, etc.
No one deserves to have the feeling of holding a grudge. We have to lay this down at God’s feet and let him take care of the wicked because it is not up to us to deal with it.
“Jesus remained silent,” this reminds us to not go back and forth with a toxic person. Going back and forth with this person, is only going to bring toxic traits out of yourself. They do not deserve to see you turn into someone you are not. Being around this person will pull characteristics out of you that are not of you anymore.
Main Highlights: What is toxicity & what are the red flags? (3:00) Setting boundaries (6:43) 1 Peter 2:23 (9:30) - not holding resentment Matthew (26:62-63) - remain silentThere is more for you!!! (15:20) 1 Corinthians 15:33 (16:15) - bad company corrupts good character You have the right to write your own story (20:20) Bible verse (21:00) Closing prayer (25:11) Bible verse highlighted:
Proverbs 22:24-25 “Dont befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people or you will learn to be like them and endanger your soul”

You are the only person that is holding you back from everything that you want!

In my weakness I know that I have God to lean on. No matter how bad life can get, I know I have God walking through it with me. It is only going to build my character more. Whenever I am weak, I know that strength comes with that through Christ.

I give you very specific questions and examples to ask yourself when you’re experiencing this. I take you through an example of what it looks like to procrastinate and push things off.
How will you feel once the task you’re putting off is complete?
There may be days where you can rely on other people. That is why God gave us community.

I feel like a lot of people struggle with the balance of life, you’re not alone. I feel like this is a big reason why people don’t start in the first place or why they get when things get too hard.
In Mark 12:29-31, “Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” - This tells us exactly what should be first and what should be second, everything else comes after.
Balancing your life involves putting time aside for each area of your life. This includes scheduling time with God, making time for your friends, family, significant other, business, business relationships, networking events, etc.
Main Highlights: Balance your life (3:00) Bible verse (4:35) Putting God first (10:00) Scheduling time for everything else (14:00) Sabbath (18:33) Knowing things will be there tomorrow (22:30)
Bible verse highlighted: Ecclesiastes 3:1 “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.”

I realized there are a lot of things in life that I do not enjoy doing. So, when I decided to start running I did it because if I can get through that hard thing, I can get through anything. Running has honestly slowed things down for me and it allows me to look at life from a different perspective.
Running has not only had an impact on my mental health but also my physical health of course! It has made me so much more confident. I feel like within this season, I have watched my life transform and watched my character grow even though the things around me may not have grown.
Main Highlights:
Always learning something when I am running (5:58) I did not enjoying running (7:08) We can do hard things (10:20) Bible verse (13:50) Bible verse highlighted: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadow boxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.”

When going to record this episode, I had a whole different topic in mind but before recording I felt like God was speaking to me and I felt I had to share this message instead.
Looking back at old videos, I know how I used to feel during those times, but I am not the same person that I used to be because I allowed God to do a work in me.

I’m taking it back with you guys to the person I used to be before becoming successful. Originally I went to school to be a nurse and then along that journey I realized I really did not want to work for someone anymore.

Success looks different for everyone & I think it is really important for everyone to take note of that. Personally, I always thought that your bank account determined your amount of success in your life.
Comparing yourself to someone who makes more money than you, is not fair to yourself because God has a different plan and path for your life.
It is the amount of impact you have on people that really leaves a lasting impression on people’s lives.
The sooner we understand that nothing fulfills us like Jesus, the better we will be!
Your idea of success will change as you get older and change. The only person you can compare yourself to is YOU!
Main Highlights: Success is not based off your bank account (5:00) Social media affecting our perception of success (7:00) Nothing will fulfill you like Jesus (9:31) Your idea of success will change (9:50) Bible verse highlighted: Joshua 1:8: "Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."
If we know scripture and can apply it to our lives. God want us to obey the word of God by our actions. THEN we will be successful but first we must obey.

Today we are jumping into routines and how they can set you up for success! Consistency is the absolute biggest thing when making a routine in your life. Having a clear vision for your life will help you make your routine, allow you to stick to that routine, & help you accomplish all of your goals.
The more routines you have, the less decisions you have to make. The less decisions you have to make the more energy you’re going to have to give to something else.
Just remember that life is going to life. Life is going to happen and it is okay to jump off that routine for a day. Having a routine is going to help build self-confidence, it sets everything up powerfully for the day.
What are you sacrificing when you choose to sleep instead of waking up and doing your morning routine?
Main Highlights:
Gratitude (1:11) Consistency is key (5:55) The less decisions you have to make the more energy you will have (9:45) Life happens (10:15) Practice self-discipline (11:20) Morning routine (15:00) Bible verse (20:45) Bible verse highlighted: James 1:2-4 “ “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”
I love this verse because it reminds us that we are going to be tested in this life but it gives us an opportunity to grow every single time. No matter what you’re going through God will be will you through it all.
