I've been down one time, I've been down two times............

Level 1    
                                                                     
Does he believe in God?                                            
Is he saved?                                                               
Is he a virgin?                                                             
How many women has he dated?

Level 2 
                                                                        
What does he do for a living?
Was he raised by his parents or one parent?    
Observe how he treats his Mother; because the way he treats her is the way he will treat you

How mature is he? Example: If you ask a personal question such as:What are the two importantc characteristics he likes in a woman? Does he answer it sincerely and with confidence, or does he hesitate?


Level 3
                                                                       
Do you believe in God?                                             
Are you saved?                                                          
Are you a virgin?
What do you do for a living?

Level 4

What are you willing to change to improve you?
How confident are you of your love for yourself? (Not in a conceited way, but Godly love).
                                                                                   
How mature are you? Example: If he truly does have a flat tire on his way over to pick you up, how do you respond? Will you ask him can you help (even though you know you don’t know how to change a tire); or will you get an attitude and accuse him of lying to avoid the date?
                                                                                   
Are you willing to date him for at least 6 months or more to develop a friendship first?








All of these questions for both male and female are not, at all, off limit questions. We as Americans become enamored with external affairs and forget about the whole being of a person.  We also need to be mindful, as women, of our contribution to the relationship. It is very easy to look at someone and critique them; however, are you willing to be critiqued?


“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” He also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. Luke 6:37-40 ESV

Can I "Love" You This Much?

Negative words tear people down and exposes them.  "Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a [self-confident] fool exposes and flaunts his folly." (Proverbs 13:16 AMPC)  (Folly biblical definition: 2a. : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct. b. obsolete : evil, wickedness especially : lewd behavior.) Confronting someone is different than badgering someone! Badgering means to repeatedly pester.  "By pride and insolence comes only contention, but with well-advised is skillful and Godly Wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10 AMPC)  When we lovingly and patiently correct others the response will be peaceful, loving and accepting also; however, words spoken in anger and with the intention to hurt, comes from a malicious and wicked heart. Hurtful words repeatedly play over in a person's mind (like a broken record) of how they don't measure up to the World's standards; therefore putting that person in the forefront of a sure target for Sat...

Do You REALLY Know?

I was in JC Penney a few years ago just browsing and this woman passed me calling a little girl who was in the shoe section to come on, she was ready to leave. The little girl quickly grabbed a specific pair of shoes and walked over to her, pleading for the shoes. Well being social, I commented they were very cute shoes and would look good on her. The Grandmother proceeded with, “She has more than enough shoes at home and although they are cute, we are not buying them”. The little girl begged for a short while and realized she was not going to win this battle, so the shoes went back to the shoe department. As the little girl was leaving, her Grandmother began telling me how she provides for the child quite often and her daughter (the child's Mother) do not have a good relationship. She badly berated her daughter to the point I said in my mind, “God should I pray for this woman”; because from listening to her story, I felt the relationship could not continue is this manner, an...

Order Up!

Now serving ~ “Heartaches and bitter pain of defeat topped with a regard to accept a defeat with a constructive attitude”. Competition is tough and you better compete with a winning attitude or accept being defeated with dignity.  We train for a marathon, we practice daily, if you are on a basketball team, gymnastics team, or the swim team; in addition to the conditioning, training and proper diet that is needed to compete. Other competitions that are not physical take intense studying; whereas, you still have to rest so the brain will retain the knowledge you need to “win”. I was a low hurdler in high school; however, when I was asked to compete in the low hurdles, I did not know how to even jump over them properly.  One day during practice, my older brother was at the track practicing shot put and looked over at me struggling with the hurdles. He came over and gave me some much needed advice. He said, “Gwen, you have to hit ‘em low and take only three step...
