Don't Waste Your Waiting - Singleness with Alia Jones

Practically speaking, what does preparing for marriage look like? How can we use our singleness to set ourselves up for success in marriage? In this week’s episode we bring back our good friend, Alia Jones, to share her journey to contentment in singleness while still contending for her future marriage. For many, our 20s can feel like an awkward space between grieving where we once were, while longing to be where we desire next. Alia shares her struggles with life-altering transitions and how she still honors God and her parents in the process.

As a Christian man that is single, it is encouraging to hear more Christians that are single openly talk about their perspective on singleness. This was a great conversation & pressing into prayer was a great takeaway! Thank you for your vulnerability Alia!

We couldn't agree more! Glad you enjoyed the episode 😁

At the 30 minute mark, amen. If I were married when I thought I would be, I would be very un happy. Thank you God for working on me

[@saintamerican6105]

I settled before i became Christian, everyday would be a nightmare if i didnt have JESUS 🤧 I want to scream from the mt tops to every single women out there that God’s plan is better than their own!

[@ayannamarie123]

[@Monique_Diedericks]

22:41 minutes in, loving this episode. Spoke so much hope into my life and is such beautiful stories

[@ivonetevieira7860]

That was so good

[@rubivaquero3099]

I kept rewinding every time Alia would say something funny (this is a treaty I tasted your food) 😂 she is hilarious! PLEASE have her back on (:

[@Monique_Diedericks]

Praise God

[@tressawoods]

And the story about the food is so funny because that sounds like something a husband would do not realizing we would be upset 😂

[@manassechristina5861]

This is so weird but I feel like I know Alia, did you happen to graduate from MSU? And work for CAMP migrant student services in quarantine? I was a freshman at that time. This was a great conversation. I learned and was reminded of a lot. Thank you for your vulnerability.

[@TaylahLouiseBudgets]

Milena! Is this an Amazon dress? I need it; it’s so beautiful ❤

[@EmilyRichardson95]

Encouraging ❤

[@Mwe_244]

Alia, you are so beautiful. God will send you your spouse in his timing.

[@joanninsiima2529]

Hi Milena, could you make a video on what to do when waiting for motherhood? How can one prepare for this?

[@feather8894]

Does honouring your father and mother end once you're married? I would think no, because they are still your parents and elders have so much wisdom for us younger people, but what if my husband and my parents do not agree? I feel really torn, because I don't want to do dishonour to my parents.

[@harleighstringer]

i think you can still honor your parents if your husband doesn't get along with them. if it's coming down to whether you're "obeying" your husband or your parents, i'd say your husband. you can honor them without agreeing with them

[@tressawoods]

Can we have her parents on next???? Haha 😂

[@Asphaltrebellin]

I am also a christian single and wondering what those years are meaning (Alia said eight years are „new begining“) where do you got those information, i am very curious (from germany 🤍)

[@harleighstringer]

the Bible. for example, the 7 day week that God created. the 8th day is a "new beginning" to a new week. you can look up "8 in the Bible" and you'll see all the stuff that pops up
