I love how she said she appreciated freedom in her single season: I wish more of our single sisters appreciated the fact that there’s a purpose in the freedom of your singleness: even when you’re dating. But we imprison ourselves with the desire for our husbands and then next season: yes they will come but what is God doing for you now? And leading you into now? The man and the marriage and motherhood will come but where is your heart at this season? Loved this episode Ashley! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
You’re sooo right !! Marriage is NOT an upgrade ! The upgrade is wherever God is and what he’s doing in and around us in each and every season. Singleness and marriage is a gift one is not better than the other. God bless you !
I love that Anthony did want he was supposed to do by letting her know he was interested. Which a lot of men don't do lately. I refuse to chase or persue a man I would never, I would rather be alone.
It’s more to it than that. He had conversations with her where she “really cared”. Plus he knew that it was a genuine connection. That’s makes a difference. Just to pursue is useless if the conversation and the connection is not bringing you together
@@AshleyEmpowers Your welcome. My mom just passed away two days before Mother's Day. It was my mother's wish for me to have a husband. I have been single for over 14yrs. I do have a 11yr old son. I have been celibate for 10yrs. He and my child's father are the best of friends from the first day we met. He has been my emergency contact for any job. I realize that my child & my child's father are the only reliable people I have in this world. Since my died mom my bio dad refuses to acknowledge me. It hurts but I have to move on. I only trust two the man up stairs & my child's father. My dad constantly hurts me for no reason I refuses to trust any man that lies, manipulate or is anything like my dad. Dating with a Purpose I agreed with the purpose & the concept of only dating to find your husband or wife. Of course many of us are not as lucky or easily find the person where meant to be with for the rest of our life. I have one good that lives in the state and no car, so I don't go out to eat or hang out. It's impossible for me to meet someone.
@@lccanimations I had the same concerns about marriage when I engaged in my 20s. I never had anybody to talk to about relationships or marriage & it always bothered me. I never had any guidance from childhood into adulthood and I was always barely floating head above water
I love it Ashley. More females need to hear this especially those who are virgins. To tell them that it is nothing wrong in wanting for their God Fearing Man. I love how Raquel gave her point of view about dysfunctional homes. Such as I had, coming up. Don't get me wrong my mother love me and my siblings and did the best in what she knew how from her up bring . So I just basically did the same. Now as a christian women, I'm still trying to know who i am without beating myself up for the past. I have a lot to give. My simple prayer from God is to move me out the way so I can received all He has for me in my life.
I like how you also bring up their season of singleness. I am dating but not married and I am determining rather or not this is for me through counseling. It's inspiring to hear her speak so positively about your own growth. I think time to myself to grow and develop and find purpose is what I need.
Me too! I loved how she encouraged singles women. I don't get that here locally...which is why I follow Ashley and all her content so I that can be encouraged 🌷🙏🏻
Why don’t she still do all of that. Just because your married you shouldn’t loose yourself, continue to invest in you and put yourself first while married. But lovely couple! I love their story
Wow! This was really good to me! I love the intent of Anthony’s pursuit. He saw Racquel’s value! I love how she stood firm in her decisions and how God really set the tone in her life. Great story ❣️ Blessings✨ I love how God took two people who shared similar stories of upbringing, and brought them together to change their lineage amazing
Hey Ashley, love your content! Just wondering if you'd be willing to share your thoughts on the controversy surround Heather Lindsey? No worries if not
Hi Ashley, I'm from India... I really need your help! My society is an orthodox society where only arranged marriages are acceptable! Rarely parents agree to date and get to know each other before marriage! Once I had a dream about my crush where he proposed and said to 'wait' in my dream.. I know that my crush is a believer and is a good hearted person. Also after a few days he posted on insta saying 'in your waiting God is working'. Does this mean that he is the one for me?? I'm currently praying for my future spouse because my parents are so keen on hunting a groom for me while i'm not even ready for marriage. I don't know what to do. My only trust is on Jesus. What shall i do now?
Hey there, I would suggest go for a fast at least 3 days and really lay ur heart and thoughts to the Spirit, by doing this you will be handing this question or burden to Him. Plus, during this time you will be totally opened up to Him and He will speak to you clearly.
@@priscahndirangu3264 Yesterday when i was reading the Bible, I stumbled upon a verse in 'ruth' which again says to 'wait'! I think God wants me to wait because he wants to prepare me and my future spouse for marriage.. If my crush is the one for me, God is definitely gonna join us together..
They are talking about breaking the curse of divorce but are they actually adressing it spiritually and breaking it Jesus name because it sounds like they think they can overcome it in their own strength. In Jesus name we break any curse of divorce and/or adultery over their families and sever it from their bloodlines. May you restore them, Lord 🙏
Love that he was intentional about pursuing her and left no questions in her mind about where they stand!
Exactly!

Pray to God and fast. Ask God for clarity. Abstain from food, social media and just get in His presence until you receive ur answer ❤️
