Your words are a reflection of my state of mind right now. JESUS is our saviour and the relationship which we share with him, is in it's purest form. I enjoy having conversations with the LORD and receiving the wisdom and grace that he wishes to share with all of us. It is truly the most beautiful chapter of my life. Finding myself through JESUS. AMEN 🙏🏼 GOD bless you for sharing his glory with the world, soul sister 💞
There is no such thing as a perfect relationship even with God. You will have anxiety and worry because we’re human. If you are looking for that perfect feeling, you will be disappointed. But a relationship where you accept your differences and flaws and are open about your anxiety and doubt, that is the best feeling in the world.
Soo true!!! Also going along with your point on accepting the person for their flaws in a relationship; is a true form of love for that person, you love them to the point that you’re able to or willing to overlook the little things like your differences and flaws because as a whole you know them and love them for who they are! 😊
@@sitvisnobiscum and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that! Own who you are and don’t change for others! We are all at different stages in life, age shouldn’t matter! ❤️
I'm 25 and I have never been in a relationship. Sometimes it makes me feel unwanted. But I am learning how to love myself. I pray the Lord for forgiveness. I know I should not feel this way, but sometimes I can't help it.
I’m 24 years old and to 25 next month and I never been real relationship, accept when I was young and I would say I Did fall for someone but I wouldn’t say it was a relationship that was real long term. I have been single my whole life and I’m in coming to a place where I’m just loving myself even though is not easy season for my life right now, I’m still going through things like career and focus on fulfilling my dreams but I do desire to be married one day
Go girl! 26 and also have not been in a serious real relationship, been on a few dates but nothing serious. Now I am more fine with it and I am so grateful arriving at this place. And I would rather be in a relationship that is real and serious than having many relationships where I am unsure about myself.
God has the best timing. I am going through my first ever breakup right now, and it is brutal. I’m almost 27 and I had my first boyfriend this past year and I have learned so much. Right now it’s hard to think of being single again, but I think this relationship has shown me what I need from my significant other. I definitely need time to grow on my own and I think my boyfriend could see that. I was putting ALL of my time and thoughts into a man that wasn’t doing the same for me. I think I kind of lost sight of my self and what I want. I am a very loyal and caring person, so when I try to work on myself I tend to feel guilty because i don’t want to be selfish! I’m learning that now is the time I need to be a little selfish! I just need to be patient and confident in God and myself. I love you and your videos so much!! You are making a positive impact in people’s lives and I hope you never forget that! Thank you!! 💕
Meredith in the beginning " I bowl my eyes out", me in the end *getting emotional* thank you Mere, for being you, for being true and authentic.. I love watching your journey to self peace and love, always by your side ❤️
Meredith, How openly you speak about God is beautiful. You can see light radiating from you. May the Lord continue to open your heart, close your eyes, and bless you!
Meredith, THANK YOU for always being so honest and such an inspiration for myself. I started my own channel back in January to document my EATING DISORDER recovery journey and you have remained a constant role model for me as I pursue my path towards a better life. Thank you and love always ❤️
Awww Meredith I haven’t watched your videos in over a year. You literally raised me since middle school. I felt nostalgic when I saw your video pop up on my screen 🥲 I love you ❤️
Tbh, i don't agree. There is nothing wrong with singleness BUT: It's toxic that you only seek comfort zone and peace and look for something perfect.... its actually kind of selfish and it does not exist. Of course it is important to respect, accept and love yourself FIRST, but you can learn so much by growing together with someone else. And it is completely normal that especially in the begining, you don't feel totally accepted, totally relaxed.. Relationship is hard work. Its not like you are going to find someone perfect,and that you would instantly click. Life is not a movie. You meet a person, and its different from you, there is no person with the same heartbeat as you called it. you will hate him for some characteristics and you will love him for others, but you will learn to accept both.
I'm absolutely loving this God focused content. I randomly thought of you and saw your videos and I was so happy! I was really thinking about my singleness and I wasn't sure where I was but I think God drew me here so that I could see what I need to work on before meeting someone.
I don’t need help with relationships specifically but I asked God for a sign earlier this morning when I was having trouble with something and he put your video in my path so I’m happy for that and Happy Sabbath! ❤️
You are AMAZING Meredith! I remember seeing you at Pirates Cove the day you got baptized but my sister told me it probably wasn’t you when I saw you in the crowd before worship began. I’m so proud and honored to watch you grow and build your platform in the light of the good Lord’s name. Thank you for all you do Meredith. Your work & strong words really do make a difference in this world.
the end had me crying. thank you for being real and raw and someone I can relate to. I love the Isaiah passage you shared, I struggle with living in the past and wishing things could have worked out differently. But God is creating a new work in me. Love you mere
I think my problem is that I’ve never been properly closed single and working on myself. I’ve had issues with insecurity and low self confidence but still openly tried to seek intimacy and relationships even though I really should have spent that time working on myself to get rid of or reduce those insecurities. I think I need to delete all of my dating apps and just take a moment to be in closed singleness
Meredith, I am 22 and I have been watching you since I was 10. I have dated my whole life and this is the first time I’m not with a partner, I am working on me and this video came at the perfect time. I appreciate you & love seeing your growth and blossoming faith. Thank you, your words are appreciated
Thank you for this, I don’t feel so alone. I’m 23 and never had a real relationship past 1-2 months. I’ve been single almost my whole life and most of the guys in my life gave me sexual trauma. I’m still waiting for the right man to get placed into my life but I’m fine waiting however long it takes, as long as I have Jesus with me ❤️ I trust in his timing and the process it will take.
Ladies (and gentlemen) God is a perfect Creator. He will craft the most beautiful story for you that couldn't begin to imagine. All you have to do is have faith and don't get in His way. I was single for 27 years. I went on a few dates. And for those few dates, the anxiety I had almost left me unable to move, think, or talk. But then God put the right man in my life and since realizing that he was the one God was saving for me. Don't compare God's story for your life to someone else's. God fearfully and wonderfully made YOU. Before you were born. Before the foundation of the world. God knew you, loved you, and had a plan for your life. There will be hurt. There will be heartbreak. But all glory goes right back to God. Love Him first.
Thank you so much for this video! I just found your channel and the timing of this is so perfect, I just got out of a really toxic bad for my soul relationship and am entering a season of closed singleness, and this is so encouraging! God has done some amazing things for me in this season and I just need some prayers to keep going and just keep my focus on him. Thank you so much for this! And prayers to you and your new season of life 💛💛
My pastor used to say “we can love only as much as we know we are loved”. I didn’t realize how broken and insecure I was because of my childhood wounds that it created walls from other people to love me. And this video hit hard. Don’t believe what others said about you, even when it’s your loved ones, believe what God says about you. You are loved and you are enough.
This was so helpful, thank you for sharing! I’m 23 and I chose closed singleness for years to heal my trauma and anything that was preventing me from being open to giving & receiving unconditional love. Releasing codependency and opening myself up to my spirituality more 🥰 I’m in a better place with myself now
Hey Meredith, I have watched your videos for years and have just always thought you are the sweetest girl. Even as an agnostic person I do not mind your religion at all; quite the opposite, I see how you've just been glowing and been so happy because of it, and all that confidence and self-love really shows and is so beautiful!! I'm truly happy for you. I also really support a lot of the stuff that you talked about, even though I believe the same from a non-christian perspective. (Not looking for love because of that "hole" most people feel etc.) I have an honest question though, because sometimes your words remind me of mormonism or more fundamentalist believes... what do you think of gernder-queerness and homosexuality? You mentioned we feel a desire for intimacy because god wants us to have a "family" and have children... what if we don't want children? What if we don't want to marry but instead be in a closed or even open partnership that is committed, or even casual? Like, if it isn't rooted in self-hatred but instead the same strength and love you talked of, that doesn't lessen anyone's worth or the intimacy they're able to build. I personally think being open to other kinds of love is something god supports. If not he would be a very cruel god:( If you believe that too, I apologize for the assumption but sometimes your wording choices just make me a little worried for your young viewers who might get the wrong impression and grow up with the self-hatred some forms of religion can infect impressionable youth with. All the best
Girl, I am 20 and I have never been in a relationship. I am in college right now, God will bring the man in my life when the time is right. In the meantime, I work on my relationship with Christ and myself.
Okay go off about the intimacy sister. Would love to hear what your spiritual intimacy boundaries are. I feel like that’s a widely overlooked subject in Christian relationships
This comment section is so full of support! I didn’t have a real relationship until I hit my 30s. My 20s saw a lot of pain as I passed through situationships but I was working on my self and healing from past hurts as you say. With my partner now I’m working through even more pain but it is very healing. Everyone has their own path and as long as you’re trying to learn and grow and love yourself, you’re doing good!
I truly believe that my husband is my soulmate. He’s the best guy, and I feel lucky to be together every day. Even with that being said, all relationships are hard. Struggles are a natural part of growth.
Igor into my first serious relationship at 22. After 4 years of being together and a year of engagement he told me he doesn't feel relationship love anymore. We aren't together anymore but we are still close friends. It hurt like hell and I still love him but I'm single now and it's hard to get used to. But at the end of the day I need to improve my mental health in order to move on and I'm still worthy. He made it clear it's not anything I did.
I'm already 25 this year and haven't been in a relationship that lasted more than a week (yes you read that right, that was way back high school and it was just puppy love 😂). I've been on dates since then tho never with the same guy more than once (the rest was just all chat and text). It's because I never really felt comfortable with any of them, is that normal? It's like I was scared to go deeper, and they weren't making me feel that my heart would be safe with them. But over the past few years I think I've worked on myself pretty well, enough to think I'm actually ready to let someone in if it ever happens. ❤
Hmm there’s definitely truth to what you’re saying and I love the intention! However to say that there should be no confusion, and you should be totally at peace is misguided - intimate relationships often bring out our past traumas and pain, because we get triggered and scared when someone gets so close to us and it may remind our subconscious of our traumas… and that does not necessarily mean that this person is wrong for you, it’s an opportunity to explore that pain and work through it (of course if the person is actively harmful and unsupportive then that’s different!)
I say this with all the love, but this is one of your first videos in forever that truly felt genuine! The most beautiful mix of Jesus + sisterly vibes. I'm engaged to be married and even I loved hearing this advice!! Truly hit the mark on this one
Damn Meredith. Been watching you since 2012….. once you stopped posting I stopped watching but you were definitely my 2nd face after Bethany Mota…. Love this video and love life for you
So glad I watch this video. This give me the courage to not rush in relationships and enjoy my life as single person. While slowly building my self up.thank you mere
ahhhh this is so good! Thank you for the advice and sharing your relationship with God. So so happy and thankful for how God has been working in your life. Happy that I can come to your channel for Christian guidance:)
Thank you so much for this video! I’m going through a breakup currently and I loved him and he broke my heart etc. but I really needed to hear all of this. I just know God has a plan for me. Even though it’s hard to see now.
I just watched back to back videos of your journey with God and I literally just started balling my eyes at the very end of this video. I have strayed away from my relationship with God for so long and I have felt so unworthy of his love from my past mistakes and watching your videos just now have done something and I’m not sure what it is but it felt right so thank you so much for sharing your journey❤️.
So proud of you mer! I’ve been watching you for awhile and have been praying for your faith in God , for you to find peace etc. I am freaking out !!! I am so happy for you , you are glowing!! Jesus is soo good I am so excited for what he is doing in your life . Love looks good on you girl 🤍🤍🤍
Been a few years since I watched your vids and I'm seeing a beautiful growth which I have to admit I am attracted to. When a girls life starts to recenter around God it makes my heart happy. I hope He blesses your newfound commitment with a special person who has a shared value for that relationship with Him.
Hey Meredith!! This video meant so much to me. I really really appreciate your content lifting up God and how he's been working in your life ❤❤ appreciate the wisdom and the encouragement and the beautiful prayer. ❤
I began practicing celibacy since about 25 years old. I realized it wasn't worth my joy, my peace, nor my self-esteem. I got tired of meeting people that only wanted to copulate. Live your best life!
Gods plan is SO much bigger than ourselves. All throughout college I was so focused on finding someone and get married because that’s what my heart desired. It led me to soooo many relationships and were less than what God wanted for me. It was only when I pulled closer to God and closed myself off to dating for a short season that God opened my eyes and pulled me in the right direction to reconnect with my husband who I had already met. At the time we first met, neither of us were where we needed to be for a healthy and happy relationship. After a year apart God had prepared both of our hearts for eachother and we later got back together, engaged, and then married. God will take us where we need to go when we’re ready to turn our hearts towards him. 🌸
Still not Loved by the One who I Love so much. I am single with her memories. She hates me never had a chance to talk to her and ask for a sorry all these 13 years. But learnt to live for others as HE (OUR LORD) still is HOLDING my hands in all my hardest times of my life. THANK YOU FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. Thanks for your video it is very helpful.
Thank you Mere 💜 Ur radiating. I agree w u saying that your weapon is Joy. There's this wonderful glow in your spirit whenever you talk about Jesus.. thank u for shining His light. Shalom!
It’s been so cool to watch you and your channel go from what it once was to now. Seeing you grow in your relationship with Jesus and sharing it with everyone. I’ve definitely been going through it lately with feeling lonely lol. I just graduated hs and I don’t have any friends, and I have no idea what I want to do career wise. But after watching this video I really want to get myself together and work on my relationship w/ Jesus. Great video!!
I love when you mentioned that the right person will give you peace! I have anxiety problems, so anxiety is still present sometimes, but the peace usually overcomes the anxiety. I believe God sent me my boyfriend and I am so grateful.
Happy Birthday Meredith. I wish you the best birthday that you can have in this new year of 2022 and pray that whatever your plans are for today all your dreams come true on your birthday today.
Meredith, I started watching you in 2012 im so happy to see that you are talkin about Jesus in your videos and you are not ashamed of the gospel.Be patient the Lord knows the desires of your heart he has perfect timing, test everything if its from the Lord ask him for confirmation always. God bless you. Remember everything works out for the good of those who love God.
Thank you for sharing!! Recently broke it off with a BF and had to trust and walk in that I did not feel peace in the relationship, felt anxious daily (for reasons I can pinpoint). I learned a lot about my own negative patterns too in the process and how they manifest in other relationships, so I’m working/praying through that, and reading the book Boundaries has helped too! 10/10. Excited for you in ~open singleness~ :)
You are worth far more than rubies!!!
Wait for the one who sees your true worth 💎
Your words are a reflection of my state of mind right now. JESUS is our saviour and the relationship which we share with him, is in it's purest form. I enjoy having conversations with the LORD and receiving the wisdom and grace that he wishes to share with all of us. It is truly the most beautiful chapter of my life. Finding myself through JESUS. AMEN 🙏🏼 GOD bless you for sharing his glory with the world, soul sister 💞
💛💛💛💛
This video was such an encouragement to me, thank you❤️
Hey Mere, why don’t you think Black Lives Matter?
speaking truth
There is no such thing as a perfect relationship even with God. You will have anxiety and worry because we’re human. If you are looking for that perfect feeling, you will be disappointed. But a relationship where you accept your differences and flaws and are open about your anxiety and doubt, that is the best feeling in the world.
Soo true!!! Also going along with your point on accepting the person for their flaws in a relationship; is a true form of love for that person, you love them to the point that you’re able to or willing to overlook the little things like your differences and flaws because as a whole you know them and love them for who they are! 😊
AMEN! Yes!!
Exactly! She never experienced that so she doesn’t know so I would give her a pass!
This is so VERY wrong. A perfect relationship with God IS achievable that's one of the reasons Jesus was sent down here!
@@missleaneous2603 I meant a relationship with another person where you believe in God and so do they. Not with God and you.
“That rejection is God’s protection” YES! Very fortunate things didn’t work out in the past because now I’m with my person now ❤️
Love this! I’m almost 22 and I’ve never been in a relationship and I totally agree with you about not settling and working on yourself!
YES!🙌🏼
23 and sameeeee
Same here. Im 31 and im single. I guess im kind of asexual
@@sitvisnobiscum and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that! Own who you are and don’t change for others! We are all at different stages in life, age shouldn’t matter! ❤️
We need to normalize this! People around me doesn’t understand:(
I am in the exact situation !! 25 as well and never been in a serious relationship. I really needed to hear that message. Thank you Meredith 🤍🤍
I'm 25 and I have never been in a relationship. Sometimes it makes me feel unwanted. But I am learning how to love myself.
I pray the Lord for forgiveness. I know I should not feel this way, but sometimes I can't help it.
Same here mate :/ sending my all love xx
I’m 24 years old and to 25 next month and I never been real relationship, accept when I was young and I would say I Did fall for someone but I wouldn’t say it was a relationship that was real long term.

24 and same!
You’re still so young!
Go girl! 26 and also have not been in a serious real relationship, been on a few dates but nothing serious. Now I am more fine with it and I am so grateful arriving at this place.

I am 28 and still single trying to focus in my career more for now until God send the right man ...
Thanks for your prayers amen , I’m Muslim and i love when someone prays for others
I cried today because I‘m terrified I‘ll never find love, then you uploaded this 🥺❤️
WE ACCEPT THE LOVE WE THINK WE DESERVE!!!
The perks of being a wallflower! Omg ✨
"The short-term sacrifice of healing in your singleness is worth the long-term satisfaction of a healthy relationship." I love this!💛💫
Who remembers Miles?
I do 💜

Meredith, I am 22 and I have been watching you since I was 10. I have dated my whole life and this is the first time I’m not with a partner, I am working on me and this video came at the perfect time. I appreciate you & love seeing your growth and blossoming faith. Thank you, your words are appreciated
i loved this so much meredith and how you included a prayer at the end. its so special and reassuring to hear this positivity from you

God knew you, loved you, and had a plan for your life. There will be hurt. There will be heartbreak. But all glory goes right back to God. Love Him first.
This was so helpful. Love the idea of a closed singleness while you're healing. Thank you! ❤️
Don't worry Mere. I'm the same. I'm 27 and I've never been in ANY serious relationships. We're still young anyways. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
👏 yessss

I've been on dates since then tho never with the same guy more than once (the rest was just all chat and text). It's because I never really felt comfortable with any of them, is that normal? It's like I was scared to go deeper, and they weren't making me feel that my heart would be safe with them.
But over the past few years I think I've worked on myself pretty well, enough to think I'm actually ready to let someone in if it ever happens. ❤

Hmm there’s definitely truth to what you’re saying and I love the intention! However to say that there should be no confusion, and you should be totally at peace is misguided - intimate relationships often bring out our past traumas and pain, because we get triggered and scared when someone gets so close to us and it may remind our subconscious of our traumas… and that does not necessarily mean that this person is wrong for you, it’s an opportunity to explore that pain and work through it (of course if the person is actively harmful and unsupportive then that’s different!)
I say this with all the love, but this is one of your first videos in forever that truly felt genuine! The most beautiful mix of Jesus + sisterly vibes. I'm engaged to be married and even I loved hearing this advice!! Truly hit the mark on this one
Damn Meredith. Been watching you since 2012….. once you stopped posting I stopped watching but you were definitely my 2nd face after Bethany Mota…. Love this video and love life for you
So glad I watch this video. This give me the courage to not rush in relationships and enjoy my life as single person. While slowly building my self up.thank you mere
Your relationship, pretty much very alike as mine. Keep that positive energy flowing, you worth it too!
I hope he is a great guy, and everything will go alright
ahhhh this is so good! Thank you for the advice and sharing your relationship with God. So so happy and thankful for how God has been working in your life. Happy that I can come to your channel for Christian guidance:)
Omg here I feel understood. I turn 25 in August and have been only on one "date" when I was 17. I literally feel weird and fomo.
no same tho. i've never been in a serious relationship, so you're not alone!
Where is this girl? She has been missing for a year, does anyone know if she is okay?
She’s fine, she’s tagged in lots of posts from this year and just recently spoke at a women’s conference a couple weeks ago
I used to watch her back in 2013 when I was a kid and she used the username stillababe09 , feeling the nostalgia 💗

This video is EVERYTHING THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING ❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
you're awesome
thanks for being so bold and being one of the few people out there giving biblical advice!
Thank you so much for this video! I’m going through a breakup currently and I loved him and he broke my heart etc. but I really needed to hear all of this. I just know God has a plan for me. Even though it’s hard to see now.
SO PROUD OF YOU MER!
More of God talk please! As a Christian, it’s so refreshing to hear likeminded women share their perspectives ❤️
This is absolutely amazing!! Thank you for this! Love it💗
I just watched back to back videos of your journey with God and I literally just started balling my eyes at the very end of this video. I have strayed away from my relationship with God for so long and I have felt so unworthy of his love from my past mistakes and watching your videos just now have done something and I’m not sure what it is but it felt right so thank you so much for sharing your journey❤️.
So good Mere! Always sharing and pulling out the gold for others!
So proud of you mer! I’ve been watching you for awhile and have been praying for your faith in God , for you to find peace etc. I am freaking out !!! I am so happy for you , you are glowing!! Jesus is soo good I am so excited for what he is doing in your life . Love looks good on you girl 🤍🤍🤍
Been a few years since I watched your vids and I'm seeing a beautiful growth which I have to admit I am attracted to. When a girls life starts to recenter around God it makes my heart happy. I hope He blesses your newfound commitment with a special person who has a shared value for that relationship with Him.
Why is the channel now Dancing Daughters? 💀
Soooo nice to see you Meredith♥️♥️♥️
Absolutely LOVED this video!! Such a positive message and I just know it will set people free!! Thank you for sharing the way you did, Meredith!! 💙
Didn’t you date miles?
MEREDITH WE NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS 😭❤️
Hey Meredith!! This video meant so much to me. I really really appreciate your content lifting up God and how he's been working in your life ❤❤ appreciate the wisdom and the encouragement and the beautiful prayer. ❤
I began practicing celibacy since about 25 years old. I realized it wasn't worth my joy, my peace, nor my self-esteem. I got tired of meeting people that only wanted to copulate. Live your best life!
Gods plan is SO much bigger than ourselves. All throughout college I was so focused on finding someone and get married because that’s what my heart desired. It led me to soooo many relationships and were less than what God wanted for me. It was only when I pulled closer to God and closed myself off to dating for a short season that God opened my eyes and pulled me in the right direction to reconnect with my husband who I had already met. At the time we first met, neither of us were where we needed to be for a healthy and happy relationship. After a year apart God had prepared both of our hearts for eachother and we later got back together, engaged, and then married. God will take us where we need to go when we’re ready to turn our hearts towards him. 🌸
Still not Loved by the One who I Love so much. I am single with her memories. She hates me never had a chance to talk to her and ask for a sorry all these 13 years. But learnt to live for others as HE (OUR LORD) still is HOLDING my hands in all my hardest times of my life. THANK YOU FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. Thanks for your video it is very helpful.
Please make more videos like this on life advice. You give the best and I’m so proud of you!
Love it mere! This is why I still come to UA-cam.
Thank you Mere 💜 Ur radiating. I agree w u saying that your weapon is Joy. There's this wonderful glow in your spirit whenever you talk about Jesus.. thank u for shining His light. Shalom!
MEREDITH
How are you going to give relationship advice when you’ve never been in one.
It’s been so cool to watch you and your channel go from what it once was to now. Seeing you grow in your relationship with Jesus and sharing it with everyone. I’ve definitely been going through it lately with feeling lonely lol. I just graduated hs and I don’t have any friends, and I have no idea what I want to do career wise. But after watching this video I really want to get myself together and work on my relationship w/ Jesus. Great video!!
This is so timely!!! Thank you, Mere 🥰 Love you guuurl ❤️
Beautiful, faithful words!
We're never alone with God.
Greetings from Poland
SOOOO Grateful for you Mereeee!!! Thank you for this!!!!
I love when you mentioned that the right person will give you peace! I have anxiety problems, so anxiety is still present sometimes, but the peace usually overcomes the anxiety. I believe God sent me my boyfriend and I am so grateful.
Happy Birthday Meredith. I wish you the best birthday that you can have in this new year of 2022 and pray that whatever your plans are for today all your dreams come true on your birthday today.
I have been watching you since I was in junior high school and now I’m nearly finishing my college. Ah good old days with you stilababe09!
Meredith, I started watching you in 2012 im so happy to see that you are talkin about Jesus in your videos and you are not ashamed of the gospel.Be patient the Lord knows the desires of your heart he has perfect timing, test everything if its from the Lord ask him for confirmation always. God bless you. Remember everything works out for the good of those who love God.
meredith looks very happy and i love that for her!
wow! i just loved this so much! so much truth!
REMINDS ME OF THE OLD MERE AND HER SIDE BRAIDSSS WUHUU
Thank you for sharing!! Recently broke it off with a BF and had to trust and walk in that I did not feel peace in the relationship, felt anxious daily (for reasons I can pinpoint). I learned a lot about my own negative patterns too in the process and how they manifest in other relationships, so I’m working/praying through that, and reading the book Boundaries has helped too! 10/10. Excited for you in ~open singleness~ :)
I’ve been watching you since I was 10😢 please make more videos!
Just when you started praying, I felt the Holy Spirit like no other. Just like you described it: supernatural 🤍
