Love On Purpose
Today is my first wedding anniversary! However, there was a time—not too long ago—that I did not believe I would ever find love.
While I have been blessed to achieve some great things in my life, I was always haunted by chronic singleness. I didn’t mind so much in my thirties because most of my friends were still single. In my forties though, the children I used to babysit started to get married and have families. I began to ask myself what was wrong with me. I wondered if God was punishing me or if being married was just not in the cards for me. I continued to excel, but the absence of a mate was even louder as I accepted award after award alone. I tried not to complain because I have an incredible circle of friends and family and they were always there to support me and cheer me on, but deep inside, I wanted my ‘person’ to also share these things with.
While I was writing Preside, I realized that I was not stewarding my desire to be married. I basically said, if God wants me to be married, He will send me someone. My strategy for getting married was simply to wait on God to miraculously send someone to knock on my door. What’s funny is when I wanted to become a lawyer, my strategy was to find out what I would need to do and I began to do it with all my might. So, I began doing the same for marriage. I studied the purpose of marriage from a biblical perspective and thought about why I wanted it. I thought about who I would need to be and the Mindset, Heartset and Skillset I would need to have a successful marriage. I began to Preside over my asking, believing and receiving a loving mate. I began to heal the places that were attracting the same type of guy over and over again. I changed my story and spoke life to what I wanted and rejected what others said I couldn’t have. I met Alan in January of 2023 and we were married on a beautiful beach in Hawaii in October. All things are possible to one who believes.
