People make it seem as if it's a death sentence to be single and a virgin I'm so tired of the shame I'm being made to feel about being happily single And a virgin . I believe that I'll get married to a man of God someday I'm not listening to the lies of the enemy .
Thank you for this! I needed it! I'm 25, a virgin, & single & I constantly wonder when God is sending me my husband. All my friends are married or starting families & it is a little discouraging to me because I'm the odd man out. But I'm learning that God's timing is perfect & I need to keep staying in his will & doing things the right way, his way! Thank you & God bless! 😘
Lucky you, you're still a virgin and really have a blank canvas for God to bless you. Don't compare life to the life of your friends. Not healthy. You're still young. Be patient dear. Take this time to dig deeper into God and learn yourself. 😊
Same page! I'm 29 & I can openly say that I'm happy about where God has me. Alanna, Niecy & Angela, stay focused ladies, the journey is worth it. Let the joy of the Lord kill any discouragement that tries to come your way. That joy will truly have you saying "Whatever Your will is Lord."
I am coming back a few years after I just watched this video to let you know that this video had a huge affect on my life. Thank you for telling your story. It was part of a few catalysts that God used to truly change the trajectory of my life. After watching this video ( and a couple other events) I made the commitment to wait on God and trust Him in my singleness.. and go on the adventure that He has planned for me! I still am on the adventure but it is the most fulfilling thing I have ever done!! I just wanted to come back here and let you know how much of an impact you had with one video. Thank you
Some people need to really understand that there is more to life than wanting a relationship that's basically what this video was saying I understand you're single and a virgin(to some ladies) so am I but just really pay attention to what heather was saying yes she received a husband but what's most important is she received purpose from the lord and that's better than any relationship because you can get a relationship and still feel empty without purpose just focus on God which is the main coarse and he will send the appetizers that's truly what she means by enjoying your singleness enjoy being single and able to love God how you want to and learning you we are more than women "waiting" to be married God called us here for purpose as well
I agree. Sometimes we ladies can make the mistake of thinking that's all Gods purpose is for us, "waiting" to get married, when in fact it is part of a bigger plan. Thanks for inspiring.
Thank you for sharing your story. God is a rewarder of them who diligently seek Him. I feel brand new in Christ. I grew up in religion. I am listening to God now and desiring to have a closer walk with Him. Your testimonies bless my soul. I want to get married to the man that God has for me. I can relate so much to your testimony. Especially the part about shaking hands and always wondering. Thank you for letting the LORD use you.
thank you for sharing your ministry. i consider heather and Cornelius my auntie and uncle. i am now a newly wed, graduate and living in a new large city . there has been times i wanted to give up on all the things i had going for myself when things didn't go my way. from marriage to my career. but when i started being intentional about spending time with and truly being in relationship my life purpose and happiness took a drastic change. i have a beautiful marriage that im intentional about nourishing, i am aware of the armor God gives me to get through the journey, i love and thank God for establishing me and him and im successful because im obedient. what man do that may hurt or may not meet my expectations but we all have a joruney make mistakes and i trust God to tug on their heart and guide and restore them like he did me ♡
Such a wonderful testimony! I'm 32 and still waiting on the Lord in that area of marriage. I will focus on settling myself in Jesus and building my life as the Lord leads me.
Thank you so much for posting this video Heather. I'm in my late 20s and just got out of a relationship a few months. It's truly a struggle to see many people around you getting engaged or married, along with family members in your ear about when is it your turn. God has really been helping me and showing how to rest in Him and be content. He has also been showing how to trust in Him with my future. Thank you again for this video it just provides more confirmation with being content in my season of singleness. I'm grateful you have a ministry that help us single ladies too! You're such a blessing and I'm so thankful you haven't forgotten what it's like to be single and have a dream to get married someday.
This is truly blessing me on Christmas Day!!! Single mom of 2 teens, missing be in love, companionship, being held. But at the same time I know this is a time for me to be single & to find myself again. I've always been a committed, devoted, loving & caring mom giving every thing that is great in me to my children!!! But I know there is more to me than being a mom, daughter, sister, friend, niece, cousin, Etc. sometimes I am a little afraid of what's in store in the future but as long as God is the overseer no need to be afraid of anything !! God is so Awesome!!❤️ God bless you & your family, Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much for this! I needed to hear it. It brought tears to my eyes. I'm 24 and single and like some young women like myself, I always question and ask God when will he send someone for me, but this reminded me to simply trust Him. His timing is always perfect. I will continue to embrace my singleness. Thank you once again! :)
It's funny how I did a Google search this morning on being content as a single during Christmas and you posted this video today! LOL! I've read your story before and it's so similar to mines although I'm 31 and still single. I cut off all randoms 1 1/2 years ago and been REALLY single (although I haven't been in a relationship in many years and have been single every Christmas since 2009). Your video last night blessed me as well because looking at my past and knowing how much I've messed up, I should be feeling discontent during Christmas (and I have previously). But this holiday season, I feel different. I'm finally content! And although I desire marriage and desire spending Christman with my one day husband, I really love my relationship with Christ! And I know that one day (prayerfully soon however God's timing is perfect!) is that God will fulfill those desires that he's placed in my heart. And if it's not in his will to do so, his love and blessings to me will be unimaginable. Although I've spent Christmas alone for the past 5 years, my holidays have been greater and I've been more and more content each year! I thank you again and again for your ministry and your obedience! You have no idea how much you have helped me! :)
yes I can relate to how it feels to feel lonely and especially during the holidays. I'm 32 and been single since 2009. it's been a rough journey filled with disappointments. We just need to stay encouraged and trust in the Lord.
+Sheneiah Phillips definitely stay encouraged, Although I am 21 I am still a virgin, been single. It's important to remain detached as Heather said completely and not even leaving the door slightly open. To get to the place of complete fulfilment with Christ

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've heard your testimony before but hearing it again is so refreshing and very timely. Your obedience and transparency is so encouraging Heather. God bless you!
+ThatsBibixoxo I love watching your channel. You and your husband are such an inspiration. Congratulations on the recent good news and blessing!!! God continue to bless and use you to inspire and encourage women and men!!!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful testimony Heather! Only God can truly fill all voids within us as you said. I'm 23 and I had a challenging year last year that made me cling onto God like there was no tomorrow and it truly made me stronger. God has been directing me within the word to trust in him, especially during this time of my life. It's amazing because God showed me that I need some me and him time alone, and I listened to his voice. I'm enjoying my singleness and just allowing God to prepare me. It's actually fulfilling but above all it is such a blessing to know that God is in control. It's never easy ladies, but when you truly trust in God, everything will work out better than you could ever have imagined. Stay blessed & I ask that we may all be content in Christ. Xxx
Thank you for your testimony. This is the first time I've come across your channel. A true blessing. I have committed to being single and seeking God in my singleness. To cling to him and not keep a man on 'the side' as a back up. You've encouraged me to press on in my walk. I am blessed also by your testimony about the Lord directing you and your husband to preach and create the Pinky Promise Boutique. For me, it's been over three years I've been seeking the Lord for direction in my life and I can't say I know where I'm going and what it is that He would have me to do. Honestly, I feel anxious and frustrated because I feel that I'm already 32 years old, single, broke and no direction....Keep me in prayer.
I'm in the process of listening to this, but just wanted to express my appreciation to you for sharing yourself and your journey with us!! Taking bits and pieces of truth from different stories have helped me in the process of staying in the will of God and discerning His plan for me in this area of my life! So grateful! God bless you sis! xoxo
Everything you said was exactly what my heart needed to hear. The Lord totally led me to your story. Thank you for you obedience, and raising for voice for what He has called you to do!
Thank you for sharing Heather. I am in that "single, struggling, pruning, trusting God, alone" season (lol)! I needed the encouragement to keep me going. Merry Christmas & God Bless!
Heather you have no idea how much you've saved me multiple times by listening to your channel and how real you are. You are so transparent. Thank you for keeping it real and honest
Thank you for this message of hope. I JUST prayed to God that he would bless us with an encouraging word and this was right on time. I've noticed some people getting married when it isn't even God's timing. While others are getting divorced. A dear friend just got divorced after not even being married a full year. She literally told me to enjoy my singleness. The grass ain't always greener on the other side, "huntey". It's truly been desperation for some singles, that I feel we start desiring it more than God. I too have had my moments but am learning to really not move ahead of His timing, and wait patiently. God's...love story to follow :-)
I really appreciate your openness about the journey God has you on. I'm sitting here in Gods house right now watching your video after my prayer time with God, appreciating and thankful for what God did and is doing for you. I thank God for my journey and I Praise Him for never leaving me and I know He is going to finish the work that He has begun in me.
I love you! Such an encouraging word. I'm newly engaged and I will be getting married next year and I am truly excited to embark on this journey you and your husband are such and inspiration to my fiancé and I. Keep us in prayer as we will for you 💗
Heather! This video is everything. I know that I'm growing in my faith and my walk with Christ is defintely blooming into something special! I know for a fact that the Lord has a huge calling on my life. I can't wait to see it come to pass. This video made me shed tears. I actually felt as if the Lord was speaking directly to me! I can't wait to meet you during Pinky Promise 2016! Love you girl!
Sister Heather thanks for sharing this! Praise God from whom all blessings flow! To the singles...Once we learn how to be happily single we will learn how to be happily married! You have a great sense of humor my sister 👍🏾 God bless!
lol I can really identify with your testimony in my life. Mines still have not found me but I am learning to love my singleness. I have been saying and feeling that I have joy in my singleness. God bless you!
this is the first video that i decided to watched of her. i have heard about her ministry but i thought she one one of those "happy-no- ever low moments" christian. i am glad for this video, i understand her better now. she is a real christian.
Heather I watched the entire video and smiled through the whole thing. When you said that the lord is searching the earth to find someone who will truly live for him; I loved that! and I will continue pursueing and seeking his heart. Thank you love.
I love this video. I feel this. I've been telling everybody I have no interest in dating buy truth is nobody of substance has approached me and I'm embarrassed.. I'm always the single friend and it's been years since I've had any romantic contact. I'm 23 and sex is at the back of my mind. I really want a relationship like my parents. Hearing you say you've felt the feeling of I'm never getting married encouraged me
So glad to watch your videos this holiday. I would really like to hear you talk about betrayal and failure to find purpose/change. As a person trying to find meaning and spiritual growth while dealing with betrayal by all loved ones and still feeling fruitless in my efforts to get ahead through trials. Thank you and wish you a wonderful holiday.
Heather, I am so blessed by you. Thank you for being open to us and for letting the Holy Spirit speak through you. I am glad to see a bold Woman of Christ really step out for God like this. I ALWAYS look forward to your next video. Please update as much as possible! I love it! Keep shining! Love, Paris.
Amazing story💛 Im listening to this video for the second or third time, not sure lol, but it still inspires me. Thank you. May you please do a video on how to, or what is the proper way to run and manage a business as a Christian woman 😁😍. Thanks
Just wanted to say you are a blessing and I loved your book "Dusty Crowns" reading it was conformation to the consecration my church was doing this year.. Blessings to you and your family.
Heather, I had to pause the video to weep after you said that the Holy Spirit said "It's alright" about the movie. It moves me to know how much God cares about every little detail of our lives...
Thank you so much for this video!! Was so depressed but you made me wake up and see it, understand it and now I'm going to love it!! Thank you!! Stay blessed and beautiful!!
Yes the streets are watching indeed!!!! U are Amazing Mrs. Heather, all Glory to God!!! I kept smiling the entire time as well… love ❤ this!!! As a constant bridesmaid, 34 year old single I know all to well the life of singleness but I love ❤ how you give the right perspective for it!!! Keep encouraging us… we're listening!!!! Love ❤ the new looks too!!!!
I feel like our testimony is similar except I've got a ways to go to reach your level of maturity in Christ. I gave my life to Christ my second semester of college, went through horrible relationships. I finally made the decision to let it go and wait on God. A year later, I'm moving to Haifa, Israel to study Hebrew. (All this was God leading me because I am from Compton and didnt know anything about Hebrew or Jewish culture) When we just let God write our story! I just couldn't make it up.
Heather It is so much easier to connect with you when you are speaking with a kind a gentle spirit, your story is wonderful, thank you for sharing so beautifully. xxx
"Hold up, we gonna be together for all eternity Jesus, don't play with me" lol I love it! What a beautiful message! I'm storing these beautiful and wise words in my heart! To God all the praise! I love her top blouse. beautiful colors!
thank you for sharing your story!!! thank you. i could sit hear and tell you all about my life but I just want to say thank you and plz continue to share.
Listening to your story, and I'm almost hearing myself talk... Sometimes I question why God "called" me to start Daughter Of The Most High, and today your video was my reminder. If even ONE soul is saved through my story, I have done my Job. Thanks Heather
Your words never change through your videos which is good because you’re telling the truth not saying you weren’t but i like how you don’t Change your words around the story stayed the same. I love your videos and it’s helping me so much overcome situations and one thing you said in one of your videos is we need to know the words and that’s true!💛💛💛✝️
You are really Blessed my dear.... as to understand what is rejection and pain at a very tender age.. and that too ...to overcome it with faith....love you so much...May you be Blessed to prosper in Faith and happiness in future...
Love the new HAIR!!! You always change it up. my favorite on you is the red though...just cause that's my favorite color and purple. My two go to hair colors :-)
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 gives us a friendly reminder about the importance of not only renewing what's on the inside, but also what's on the outside. Think about it for a moment. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and should be treated as such. Would you let your church building look run down or distressed? Of course not! If repairs were needed to your church, you would renovate your church so that it stands as a shining beacon of Christ's love in your community. Therefore, shouldn't we treat our bodies the same way and continually renew them so that they are able to carry out God's purpose for our lives? In what ways do you need to renew your body? Renewal can look different for everyone. For some it might be the need for a little more exercise or a better diet. It could be the need for physical healing. For others, it may be allowing God to renew you from a past sexual sin. Find where you need renewal for your body and allow God to work His healing in your life.
thank you for sharing your story, thank you for being yourself, thank you for speaking into my spirit, thank you for being transparent and real, thank you for shaking the universe and the atmosphere with powerful word of Discerning ship, encouragement and faith and trusting the lord threw the dark times when you cant see it and know that some things in that season god is building you up to the person you will become so enjoy the journey. It was a blessing and it feed my soul and i know god loves you and if anybody dont understand your journey and who you are or anything you been threw, god does. And as long you can touch one person or more, you doing more then enough. be bless
Every time I watch your videos or hear you speak, Heather it seems like we have so much in common! Like it's crazy lol. Beautiful testimony. God bless you sis!
Heather you are a beautiful woman, thanks for sharing. Been there, done that! When you don't know your value you will settle for anything. I thank God that I woke up and I am enjoying my singleness and learning who I am so I can be ready for the mate God has for me. My son is in college now and I have been talking to him about getting to know and grow a great friendship with a young lady before starting a relationship. It's so important to know the difference between Love, Lust and settling because of fear of being alone! I pray everyone that views your video learn their value and God blesses them with an Awesome Mate. BTW I Love Georgia raised my son there miss it!:(
Could you please make a video or series about celibacy and your struggles with it? This is something I am really struggling with and I feel like I have no one to relate to.
Heather, thank you so much for making this video! Your story is pretty parallel to my own experiences in relationships and my current semi-struggle with singleness. (age 23) Thank you so much for your encouraging testimony! :)
Hello, if i may andwer to your question , fasting is something you do wether you are going through certain difficulties in your life , spiritually , financially , emotionally, mentally , it depends... And you decide to go to the throne (meaning you go to God and start praying abt the issue) by prayer and fasting , so fasting is you taming and disciplining your flesh so that your spirit can take over , you dont eat nor drink during certain hours and u PRAY , that way you will be MORE sensitive to the word and how God will speak to you and sometimes directly tells u how to deal with the issue , you fast for God to pay attention to the issue u are bringing to him , is ur way of showing Him how difficult is that problem to you and you want him to take over . When you fast and pray , you get closer to God cause your spirit is connected to his , the more you fast pray and read your bible the closer you are to God cause his knowledge, wisdom and understanding will be given to you by the Holy Spirit . In Mark 9:29 , you will understand the power of fasting too you can start from 9:14 to 9:29 . I HOPE THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE THROUGH ME , be blessed my sister . It is well with you
Jamila Flowers You can actually drink water to keep from dehydration, but that is the only thing. And be prepared for people out of nowhere tempt you with food. But try not to drink water more than you really have to, but it is OK to have some plain water, no flavoring @ all.
Heather, I have so much I could say. First of all let me say thank you for sharing I sensed peace and authenticity in your tone. Next you said if there is something we would like you to share to post in comments. I do have a subject that I would like to hear more on.. but I trust much of it will have to be from the Lord directly. Which I would love to hear but I haven't heard much..well all that I have wanted to hear from him as of late so I suppose I don't have my listening ears on. I am 30, been divorced since I was 23 have two wonderful beautiful children who are 8 and 10 yet at times I feel downright hopeless. I am thankful for so many things and if I were to compare my life.. i can easily see the Lords blessing and hand in it. Still I have always felt as more a undeserving orphan to the Lord than a precious daughter. The great news is that God has been dealing with those deep levels of rejection and bitterness that were so marvelously (or at least I felt) camouflaged with an optimistic and funny spontaneous personality. The not so great of it is that this healing comes in peaks and valleys. I could say one of the ways I know that God has been dealing with me bc i am able to receive from your ministry again. There was a time I felt so rejected by God so lesser loved by God that I couldn't watch this beautiful woman who has this perfect organic life that I lacked the discipline to live talk. I wasn't jealous at all, just (admittedly and foolishly ) angry with God in a way. I was pushing 30 , 30 pounds heavier from the stress of a lost job, a period of homelessness a dead end relationship and just Christian talk for it was time to pay for the sin that I so lavishly charged in my early to later twenties and it cost far more than I had to give. Still, God had been and faithful even when i was the most undeserving.. when He brought me out of my "Egypt " the enemy had me deep in the sin of comparison and I am still asking for Gods help in accepting my portion. You put a post on insta or FB about guarding your heart on social media sometime ago and i think it was something to the effect of not following people that would bring up discontentment (not an exact quote obviously but it was to that effect). Anyway i took your advice and the next time I listened to a video, though you were strikingly beautiful and I was still single , overweight and not sure if God had a plan for me .... i could receive without comparison! So sorry that was long winded..but yeah you always talk about being happy with our portion. I trust the Lord will provide that peace over the hearts of those (including myself) that desire that. But if you had anything to share..maybe you have some friends that are single moms.. or something for the woman that aren't twenty something and feel discouraged by the time and energy wasted... that would be great.. if not a quick prayer would be appreciated. Either way.. great share.. goodnight!
I really enjoyed this video! I would like to have a video or blog posting about the struggles you may have went through financially and how you overcame them in the process.
People make it seem as if it's a death sentence to be single and a virgin I'm so tired of the shame I'm being made to feel about being happily single And a virgin . I believe that I'll get married to a man of God someday I'm not listening to the lies of the enemy .

Well said. It's a beautiful thing.
+Shameka Traylor They are just jealous they dont have the annointed grace like US to keep their legs closed as i have for 16 yrs . #TeamWorthTheWait

The reality of being single. Your messages have helped me stay content and trust God at every moment
Such a wonderful testimony! I'm 32 and still waiting on the Lord in that area of marriage. I will focus on settling myself in Jesus and building my life as the Lord leads me.
Thank you so much for posting this video Heather. I'm in my late 20s and just got out of a relationship a few months.

yes I can relate to how it feels to feel lonely and especially during the holidays. I'm 32 and been single since 2009. it's been a rough journey filled with disappointments. We just need to stay encouraged and trust in the Lord.
+Sheneiah Phillips definitely stay encouraged, Although I am 21 I am still a virgin, been single. It's important to remain detached as Heather said completely and not even leaving the door slightly open. To get to the place of complete fulfilment with Christ

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've heard your testimony before but hearing it again is so refreshing and very timely. Your obedience and transparency is so encouraging Heather. God bless you!
+ThatsBibixoxo I love watching your channel. You and your husband are such an inspiration. Congratulations on the recent good news and blessing!!! God continue to bless and use you to inspire and encourage women and men!!!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful testimony Heather! Only God can truly fill all voids within us as you said. I'm 23 and I had a challenging year last year that made me cling onto God like there was no tomorrow and it truly made me stronger. God has been directing me within the word to trust in him, especially during this time of my life. It's amazing because God showed me that I need some me and him time alone, and I listened to his voice. I'm enjoying my singleness and just allowing God to prepare me. It's actually fulfilling but above all it is such a blessing to know that God is in control. It's never easy ladies, but when you truly trust in God, everything will work out better than you could ever have imagined. Stay blessed & I ask that we may all be content in Christ. Xxx
Thank you for your testimony. This is the first time I've come across your channel. A true blessing. I have committed to being single and seeking God in my singleness. To cling to him and not keep a man on 'the side' as a back up. You've encouraged me to press on in my walk. I am blessed also by your testimony about the Lord directing you and your husband to preach and create the Pinky Promise Boutique. For me, it's been over three years I've been seeking the Lord for direction in my life and I can't say I know where I'm going and what it is that He would have me to do. Honestly, I feel anxious and frustrated because I feel that I'm already 32 years old, single, broke and no direction....Keep me in prayer.
Hey, how are you now? I am in the same boat you are.. I wish I could help you, if you want to talk let me know .I will pray for you
I'm in the process of listening to this, but just wanted to express my appreciation to you for sharing yourself and your journey with us!! Taking bits and pieces of truth from different stories have helped me in the process of staying in the will of God and discerning His plan for me in this area of my life! So grateful! God bless you sis! xoxo
God is so good! Thank you for sharing your beautiful light💞🙌🏼🌈
Everything you said was exactly what my heart needed to hear. The Lord totally led me to your story. Thank you for you obedience, and raising for voice for what He has called you to do!
Thank you for sharing Heather. I am in that "single, struggling, pruning, trusting God, alone" season (lol)! I needed the encouragement to keep me going. Merry Christmas & God Bless!
Heather you have no idea how much you've saved me multiple times by listening to your channel and how real you are. You are so transparent. Thank you for keeping it real and honest
Thank you for this message of hope. I JUST prayed to God that he would bless us with an encouraging word and this was right on time. I've noticed some people getting married when it isn't even God's timing. While others are getting divorced. A dear friend just got divorced after not even being married a full year. She literally told me to enjoy my singleness. The grass ain't always greener on the other side, "huntey". It's truly been desperation for some singles, that I feel we start desiring it more than God. I too have had my moments but am learning to really not move ahead of His timing, and wait patiently. God's...love story to follow :-)
I really appreciate your openness about the journey God has you on. I'm sitting here in Gods house right now watching your video after my prayer time with God, appreciating and thankful for what God did and is doing for you. I thank God for my journey and I Praise Him for never leaving me and I know He is going to finish the work that He has begun in me.
I love you! Such an encouraging word. I'm newly engaged and I will be getting married next year and I am truly excited to embark on this journey you and your husband are such and inspiration to my fiancé and I. Keep us in prayer as we will for you 💗
Heather! This video is everything. I know that I'm growing in my faith and my walk with Christ is defintely blooming into something special! I know for a fact that the Lord has a huge calling on my life. I can't wait to see it come to pass. This video made me shed tears. I actually felt as if the Lord was speaking directly to me!
I can't wait to meet you during Pinky Promise 2016! Love you girl!
Sister Heather thanks for sharing this! Praise God from whom all blessings flow! To the singles...Once we learn how to be happily single we will learn how to be happily married! You have a great sense of humor my sister 👍🏾 God bless!
Yes! I'm in the process of learning how to be happy in my singleness & become complete in God so I don't feel that having a husband will complete me.
+Alanna Miller Amen sister! Thanks for sharing! 👊🏾🙏🏾👏🏾🙋🏾
lol I can really identify with your testimony in my life. Mines still have not found me but I am learning to love my singleness. I have been saying and feeling that I have joy in my singleness. God bless you!
this is the first video that i decided to watched of her. i have heard about her ministry but i thought she one one of those "happy-no- ever low moments" christian. i am glad for this video, i understand her better now. she is a real christian.
Heather I watched the entire video and smiled through the whole thing. When you said that the lord is searching the earth to find someone who will truly live for him; I loved that! and I will continue pursueing and seeking his heart. Thank you love.
I love this video. I feel this. I've been telling everybody I have no interest in dating buy truth is nobody of substance has approached me and I'm embarrassed.. I'm always the single friend and it's been years since I've had any romantic contact. I'm 23 and sex is at the back of my mind. I really want a relationship like my parents. Hearing you say you've felt the feeling of I'm never getting married encouraged me
So glad to watch your videos this holiday. I would really like to hear you talk about betrayal and failure to find purpose/change. As a person trying to find meaning and spiritual growth while dealing with betrayal by all loved ones and still feeling fruitless in my efforts to get ahead through trials. Thank you and wish you a wonderful holiday.
Heather, I am so blessed by you. Thank you for being open to us and for letting the Holy Spirit speak through you. I am glad to see a bold Woman of Christ really step out for God like this. I ALWAYS look forward to your next video. Please update as much as possible! I love it! Keep shining! Love, Paris.
Amazing story💛 Im listening to this video for the second or third time, not sure lol, but it still inspires me. Thank you. May you please do a video on how to, or what is the proper way to run and manage a business as a Christian woman 😁😍. Thanks
Just wanted to say you are a blessing and I loved your book "Dusty Crowns" reading it was conformation to the consecration my church was doing this year.. Blessings to you and your family.
This is powerful beyond words. I'm in tears....glory to God!
It feels like God is talking to me in this video. Thanks Woman of God. Keep impacting lives all over the world.
Heather, I had to pause the video to weep after you said that the Holy Spirit said "It's alright" about the movie. It moves me to know how much God cares about every little detail of our lives...
Additional wisdom upon Heather. May she continue to grow in strength. Lord keep her safe. Amen! A true & powerful vessel of Christ.
Thank you so much for this video!! Was so depressed but you made me wake up and see it, understand it and now I'm going to love it!! Thank you!! Stay blessed and beautiful!!
*live it
Yes the streets are watching indeed!!!! U are Amazing Mrs. Heather, all Glory to God!!! I kept smiling the entire time as well… love ❤ this!!! As a constant bridesmaid, 34 year old single I know all to well the life of singleness but I love ❤ how you give the right perspective for it!!! Keep encouraging us… we're listening!!!! Love ❤ the new looks too!!!!
I feel like our testimony is similar except I've got a ways to go to reach your level of maturity in Christ. I gave my life to Christ my second semester of college, went through horrible relationships. I finally made the decision to let it go and wait on God. A year later, I'm moving to Haifa, Israel to study Hebrew. (All this was God leading me because I am from Compton and didnt know anything about Hebrew or Jewish culture) When we just let God write our story! I just couldn't make it up.
i love your story
Sarah, keep looking forward to the Amazing things God will write in your story--He has nothing but the best for you lady!
Sarah Franks Are you back?
🙌🙌🙌
Wow
Heather It is so much easier to connect with you when you are speaking with a kind a gentle spirit, your story is wonderful, thank you for sharing so beautifully. xxx
"Hold up, we gonna be together for all eternity Jesus, don't play with me" lol I love it! What a beautiful message! I'm storing these beautiful and wise words in my heart! To God all the praise! I love her top blouse. beautiful colors!
Hi Heather :) A video that focuses on having a romantic relationship God's way would be absolutely wonderful! Xxx
thank you for sharing your story!!! thank you. i could sit hear and tell you all about my life but I just want to say thank you and plz continue to share.
Listening to your story, and I'm almost hearing myself talk... Sometimes I question why God "called" me to start Daughter Of The Most High, and today your video was my reminder. If even ONE soul is saved through my story, I have done my Job. Thanks Heather
Your words never change through your videos which is good because you’re telling the truth not saying you weren’t but i like how you don’t Change your words around the story stayed the same. I love your videos and it’s helping me so much overcome situations and one thing you said in one of your videos is we need to know the words and that’s true!💛💛💛✝️
God is using you and your family. Thank you for sharing your story Heather :) Very helpful.
Thank you so much Heather! I am truly grateful to the Lord for guiding me to you! I am a strong believer and I am loved unconditionally by him!
I am so glad I stumbled upon you Heaather! You have helped me in my season!
You are really Blessed my dear.... as to understand what is rejection and pain at a very tender age..
and that too ...to overcome it with faith....love you so much...May you be Blessed to prosper in Faith and happiness in future...
This blessed me so much your always encouraging me to continue this walk. thank you for letting the lord use you.
Beautiful. This inspires me to continue working and trusting that the Lord is working behind the scenes. So much inspiration. Thanks Heather!
Glory!... By the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony ♥
Love the new HAIR!!! You always change it up. my favorite on you is the red though...just cause that's my favorite color and purple. My two go to hair colors :-)
Thanks for sharing. This was awesome especially the part about distractions.
What a treat. 2 videos back to back!!! Love it. Thank you
Heather... Thank you. I cried watching this for several reasons. I feel so full from this and now I am back to a place in mind of wondering...
Heaven is where I am also headed... Thanks Heather, may the good Lord increase you in everyway possible
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 gives us a friendly reminder about the importance of not only renewing what's on the inside, but also what's on the outside. Think about it for a moment. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and should be treated as such. Would you let your church building look run down or distressed? Of course not! If repairs were needed to your church, you would renovate your church so that it stands as a shining beacon of Christ's love in your community. Therefore, shouldn't we treat our bodies the same way and continually renew them so that they are able to carry out God's purpose for our lives? In what ways do you need to renew your body? Renewal can look different for everyone. For some it might be the need for a little more exercise or a better diet. It could be the need for physical healing. For others, it may be allowing God to renew you from a past sexual sin. Find where you need renewal for your body and allow God to work His healing in your life.
thank you for sharing your story, thank you for being yourself, thank you for speaking into my spirit, thank you for being transparent and real, thank you for shaking the universe and the atmosphere with powerful word of Discerning ship, encouragement and faith and trusting the lord threw the dark times when you cant see it and know that some things in that season god is building you up to the person you will become so enjoy the journey. It was a blessing and it feed my soul and i know god loves you and if anybody dont understand your journey and who you are or anything you been threw, god does. And as long you can touch one person or more, you doing more then enough. be bless
THANK YOU SO MUCH I'M ON MY SINGLE JOURNEY AND IT'S VERY HARD BUT I KNOW THIS IS FOR MY GOOD AND GOD WILL BLESS ME. YOUR SO AWESOME THANKS AGAIN
I love your channel, You are such a beautiful woman of God with such a beautiful faith story. Thank you for sharing!
Every time I watch your videos or hear you speak, Heather it seems like we have so much in common! Like it's crazy lol. Beautiful testimony. God bless you sis!
im a guy and I LOVE your channel!!! i just found it an it helps me so much
Love Your Channel! Your Boldness! Your Obedience! Your Love for God's People!
6 years later, I get it. Thank you for sharing.
Heather you are a beautiful woman, thanks for sharing. Been there, done that! When you don't know your value you will settle for anything. I thank God that I woke up and I am enjoying my singleness and learning who I am so I can be ready for the mate God has for me. My son is in college now and I have been talking to him about getting to know and grow a great friendship with a young lady before starting a relationship. It's so important to know the difference between Love, Lust and settling because of fear of being alone! I pray everyone that views your video learn their value and God blesses them with an Awesome Mate. BTW I Love Georgia raised my son there miss it!:(
I love you Heather! God bless you and thanks for listening to the Holy Spirit and sharing this. BTW I love this backdrop! Feels so homey :)
Thank you this message is a blessing. Thank God for you and your work.
Thank you for sharing Heather. I appreciate it.😍
Could you please make a video or series about celibacy and your struggles with it? This is something I am really struggling with and I feel like I have no one to relate to.
Yay I absolutely loved this thank you so much for sharing I needed to hear this today
Heather, thank you so much for making this video! Your story is pretty parallel to my own experiences in relationships and my current semi-struggle with singleness. (age 23) Thank you so much for your encouraging testimony! :)
Could you do a video on fasting ? And how it works? Why fast? What's the purpose and how it gets you closer to God?
Hello, if i may andwer to your question , fasting is something you do wether you are going through certain difficulties in your life , spiritually , financially , emotionally, mentally , it depends... And you decide to go to the throne (meaning you go to God and start praying abt the issue) by prayer and fasting , so fasting is you taming and disciplining your flesh so that your spirit can take over , you dont eat nor drink during certain hours and u PRAY , that way you will be MORE sensitive to the word and how God will speak to you and sometimes directly tells u how to deal with the issue , you fast for God to pay attention to the issue u are bringing to him , is ur way of showing Him how difficult is that problem to you and you want him to take over . When you fast and pray , you get closer to God cause your spirit is connected to his , the more you fast pray and read your bible the closer you are to God cause his knowledge, wisdom and understanding will be given to you by the Holy Spirit .
In Mark 9:29 , you will understand the power of fasting too you can start from 9:14 to 9:29 . I HOPE THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE THROUGH ME , be blessed my sister . It is well with you

You can actually drink water to keep from dehydration, but that is the only thing. And be prepared for people out of nowhere tempt you with food. But try not to drink water more than you really have to, but it is OK to have some plain water, no flavoring @ all.
Heather, I have so much I could say. First of all let me say thank you for sharing I sensed peace and authenticity in your tone. Next you said if there is something we would like you to share to post in comments. I do have a subject that I would like to hear more on.. but I trust much of it will have to be from the Lord directly. Which I would love to hear but I haven't heard much..well all that I have wanted to hear from him as of late so I suppose I don't have my listening ears on. I am 30, been divorced since I was 23 have two wonderful beautiful children who are 8 and 10 yet at times I feel downright hopeless. I am thankful for so many things and if I were to compare my life.. i can easily see the Lords blessing and hand in it. Still I have always felt as more a undeserving orphan to the Lord than a precious daughter. The great news is that God has been dealing with those deep levels of rejection and bitterness that were so marvelously (or at least I felt) camouflaged with an optimistic and funny spontaneous personality. The not so great of it is that this healing comes in peaks and valleys. I could say one of the ways I know that God has been dealing with me bc i am able to receive from your ministry again. There was a time I felt so rejected by God so lesser loved by God that I couldn't watch this beautiful woman who has this perfect organic life that I lacked the discipline to live talk. I wasn't jealous at all, just (admittedly and foolishly ) angry with God in a way. I was pushing 30 , 30 pounds heavier from the stress of a lost job, a period of homelessness a dead end relationship and just Christian talk for it was time to pay for the sin that I so lavishly charged in my early to later twenties and it cost far more than I had to give. Still, God had been and faithful even when i was the most undeserving.. when He brought me out of my "Egypt " the enemy had me deep in the sin of comparison and I am still asking for Gods help in accepting my portion. You put a post on insta or FB about guarding your heart on social media sometime ago and i think it was something to the effect of not following people that would bring up discontentment (not an exact quote obviously but it was to that effect). Anyway i took your advice and the next time I listened to a video, though you were strikingly beautiful and I was still single , overweight and not sure if God had a plan for me
.... i could receive without comparison! So sorry that was long winded..but yeah you always talk about being happy with our portion. I trust the Lord will provide that peace over the hearts of those (including myself) that desire that. But if you had anything to share..maybe you have some friends that are single moms.. or something for the woman that aren't twenty something and feel discouraged by the time and energy wasted... that would be great.. if not a quick prayer would be appreciated. Either way.. great share.. goodnight!
Omg Heather this was very similar for how it happened to me, the prayer, the fasting, the love, the wanting to live for him for real.
I love how this video feels like a girlfriend chat. Very down to earth and insightful! I am excited for the direction of your channel :)
Thank you for all you do Heather! May God keep blessing you richly!
Amen! This was an awesome video, Heather. Such a huge call for ministry in this area. God bless your work.
Thank you Heather for sharing your beautiful story.
