[@DanHengswifey]

Thank you for your honesty in the beginning of the video. I love seeing videos like this because it shows we're actually human and that we need God. I love when your friend said, "I feel like it's really hard to be patient in the waiting because we can't see the big picture in the end that God sees, we just see nothing happening when really there probably is something happening we just can't see it." This to me is the most clear definition of faith because we walk in blindness of believing Jesus has a plan for our lives! Bless you guys forever!! ❤

Amen ❤

Im 35, a Christian, and still single. Its all in Gods timing. Youve earned a new subscriber. Heaven and Earth will pass away, but His word will not. See what God has in store in 2024. I will continue to trust and put my faith in the Lord. Praise and magnify His name.

[@markmata2671]

As a dude, I don’t know how this channel got recommended to me. That being said, I laughed quite a bit throughout the video (not at you), but also encouraged as well. I felt that in a way, it’s God telling me to let it all go and surrender all to him as well. It’s something I’ve struggled with for YEARS!!! I ended up going back to college (yes, I recently graduated), but found no potential woman to wife up. 😂 For me, when I was younger I got really close with another girl at my old church. To a point where we became best friends. Naturally, one starts (me) to develop feelings for the other. Long story short, it didn’t work out and we’re not best friends anymore (still somewhat acquaintances though). Anyway, since then I’ve been so fearful of putting myself out there and committing to someone again. If it is his will for me to have a wife, then I fully surrender everything to him. Well that’s the end of my rant/story. I pray that you continue to share God’s word to the masses and encourage those who may need it. God has given you this platform for a reason. God bless you, from Canada!

Yes same

[@ashleyhetherington_]

i am so glad you know you are not alone ❤

[@absolutemenagerie639]

GIRL...I think a lot of us in this season and finding one another even in online spaces like this is meant to kinda huddle us together and find community. I'm in a waiting season, and trying to get my heart out of being in love with a man that I thought was sent by God but turns out he's a ghosting man not after my heart, and I don't have family and all my friends are away so Christmas is gonna be quiet this year. So instead of being sad all day like last year, I keep telling myself I'm gonna spend it with God, we're gonna have some good worship and bible time, maybe go see a movie, pick up some takeout, and I'm gonna through all the things I'm grateful for despite this season of waiting (even with this guy shattering my heart he brought me so many wonderful lessons) because goodness I have SO many things to be grateful for this year, including starting my spiritual pilgrimage and coming back to God. I consider discovering your channel another boon of that. So as a lady in her late 20s sitting in the single waiting season and really struggling with my heart right now, I feel you, I hear you, and we'll get through this season.

[@user-hc6xj8vc5y]

i love how you are boldly serving the Lord and teaching others to do the same!! youve impacted my teenage years so much! thank you !

[@SuziOkbagabir]

Right! God bless her.

[@kaitlyntudor6050]

This is so random/ I never really do this, but I wanted to say that I’m in the same season as you! It can be so hard waiting, but one thing I’ve learned is that God always grows us in ways we can’t imagine. The Lord put me through a year of closed singleness where I devoted time to get to know him and thought it all, he really taught me how I truly don’t need anything but him/ really grew me in the different fruits I never really payed attention to. Holidays are hard, especially with it being a season for relationships, but don’t loose sight of what relationship this season brings!!! Because of Christmas we can get to know Jesus and be able to pray to God.. so thank God! God has such a beautiful man for u someday, just know his plan is attached to his understanding being so much higher than ours. His plan is good bc Jesus says he is good, and he has never failed on any of his past promises with anything in the Bible. Hopefully this helps someone in some way!! Hope y’all have a great season and a merry Christmas!!!!

[@samanthamolina9634]

This really did help and inspire me thank you!!

[@Monteezy230]

Hey @Kaitlynutdor6050 what you said was very impactful and Im sure the lord will put the a man of faith in your life…when the timing is right. Until then keep in mind that The talent you have is a gift from god ,what you do with it is your gift back to god. Let the "big things" become little in the hands of God.

🍓merry christmas ash! psalm 37:4 is one of my favs it says “delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” God will fulfill our desires when we delight our self in Him! i know it’s so hard to wait but God still loves you so much and has someone so amazing for you!! keep delighting in the Lord! 💗💗

[@Necessarycontent]

How do I delight myself in Gof

[@user-cy1gl2or3d]

thank you for your honesty & sharing more of your heart in this season!! when you said "we have zero solutions", I thought to myself: how beautiful that we serve a God whose creativity goes way beyond our ideas and solutions when it comes to meeting our future spouse. from beginning to end, our story with Christ is one of complete surrender, a story where striving, effort and works never amount to anything...and maybe the Lord is in the business of writing love stories that reflect His heart and His Gospel in that way. Love stories where people will say: the grace of God is so evident in this & it´s clear that you could have never done this out of your own strength & in your own efforts. Just some thoughts, I´m right there with you, feeling the pain & hardship of it. But how beautiful to know that we have a good Father who does not joke around when it comes to the hearts of his daughters & longs to bless us abundantly

Had a door shut about a month ago (still fresh) and that type of pain forced me to LEAN INTO God and it's truly the only reason every day has slowly improved. Sometimes it's hard and feels unfair when things end when we don't want them to, but that's a part of faith - believing God has something better for us. 💛 needed this video as a reminder!

I love how real you were-I don’t know what to do either. And surrendering our love lives to God is HARD. Even still, we have to take God at his word, “that he works all things for good for those who love him and are called according to his purposes” #trustingGodgirlies. Let’s get through this together!

He gives His children good gifts! Anywho, I hope that this encourages you! The Lord loves you so much and He will show himself faithful to you!

What an amazing Christmas party!!! What a blessing!!! I’ve walked through a huge hard time with my husband being let go from his last job which was at the church we have been attending for the last 6 years. I still work there and it’s been hard…bc he will not step foot in that church ever again. This was the first year we did not get to attend church as a family…on Christmas. Staying grounded in Gods word and being obedient is the biggest thing we can do. He is so faithful and just. God is good no matter what. My friend Laura lost her son..he was only 8. He was adopted from Uganda. The family is devastated. Please pray for them. Little Jonah is made whole in the arms of our father now. Praise God ❤ thanks for your prayers
