OMG…I’m so happy that I clicked on this vlog. Almost, everything that you’ve mentioned in this vlog is what I’m going through right now. I had to stop watching and post this comment because I was almost in tears. So many things you go through makes you feel like you’re the only one going through it and why me? Thank you for being so open and showing us the real. Never think that you having this channel is for nothing. Because sis you’re definitely doing God’s work because this is truly a blessing for me! ❤
Rarely do I ever comment on videos, but I honestly had to. I just subscribed to your channel just from hearing your faith talk in this video alone. Please keep sharing! They’re incredible and encouraging. I believe God showed me this video to make my walk feel less lonely all while encouraging me to push forward. You’re a blessing, thank you for sharing ✨
Just wanted you to know we (me and my 9 month old) love your channel! She will literally wake up out of her sleep when she hear your intro song! You have given me the push to dive deeper into God’s word and build a better relationship! Keep pushing! 🥰
THANK YOU sooooo much for the faith talk, because I needed it. Sometimes we feel like we are the only person going through the struggles with the flesh, desiring a spouse but God's timing is not ours, but the STRUGGLE is REAL out here!🙏🏾 But, we know God is Faithful and He will deliver if we faint not. ❤️ you sis! Definitely do more of these faith talks we needed them.🙏🏾 Tell them you are saving yourself for marriage because it helps you not waste your time and we DON'T have time for these counterfeits that are out here.
I’m so thankful I found your vlog! I feel I’ve been struggling with some of the same things, especially in my faith. My word for 2022 has been ‘intentional’ so that was nice to to hear I’m not the only one struggling in this area. I’m starting back to weight watchers and your recipes are exactly what I need! Thank you for posting, praying for us all! Lol
i can totally relate to what you were saying about co-workers. you can love your job, but then have miserable coworkers who make you want to leave your position. but God is good! Isaiah 54:17 helps get me through my day🙂
RIANNA PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP UPLOADING!!! Okay that was a little dramatic but girl, you have no idea how much I look forward to your faith talks, your teacher talks and your health talks. Every single one of those topics are so important to me. I'm a teacher, I'm vlogging my fitness journey and I am doing the Bible Recap Podcast hoping to reading the Bible in a year. I just finished the book of Joshua and I find myself craving to read the Bible. I have said for so many years that I wanted to read the Bible but I could never get through Genesis until I heard about that podcast and it has helped me so much understand what is happening. The podcasts are bite-sized no more than 8 minutes and straight to the point. But anyways, I absolutely LOVE your vlogs and you are getting me through my emotional states. May God continue to bless you and this wonderful community
Continue praying and doing God’s work. You are definitely on the right path. Everyone battles with the flesh you are human! This is making you stronger. Diamonds are the strongest jewels 💎
No sis you are not alone!! This is confirmation for me from God to keep pressing forward. I fell short to the sin of sexual immorality. I came to to the video to finish watching while I’m eating lunch and the part that played next just spoke to my spirit, so God is using you even when you struggle. Paul spoke of how we are feeling in Romans 7:14-25. You got this sis, stay encouraged! Be blessed! I love you and this page keep spreading the Good news! 🙏🏽❤️
Girl, I completely understand the struggle! I’m always so amazed that God is using me even though I also fell. I’m proud of you for enduring and continuing to walk with Christ, know that your sister in Christ is over here praying for you. 🤍🤍
Sweet Sis...thank you so much for your transparency. You cannot imagine the Glory, God will get from your story! Our short comings are evidence why we need a Saviour!....period! This is why God's grace is sufficient for us! I am so grateful that you also realize that we have a responsibility to grace...not to take it for granted. Please remember that God as our Father convicts, but never condemns...that is the job description of the enemy. Continue to link arms with Godly sisters and villages that God would have you to be apart of. YOU GOT THIS...because He has YOU!
As a Lecturer at a community college I know what you are going through. I cannot wait for the holidays, I am so tired. As I am writing this I have not prepped for the week and I am literally going to bed now so that I can wake up later on to do it. All I want to do is watch Hallmark movies and eat some feel good snacks. Thanks for sharing.
Omgeee Bestie - you’re amazing!! Thank you for sharing your life and vulnerability with the world. We are praying for you too Be strong beautiful- you’re closer than you think you are - I’m speaking life over you.🙏🙏🙏you gave soooo many good messages in this one vlog. I love you ❤we love you - we see you and we’re praying
Honey when you talked about THE NEW AGE MATH you hit the nail on the head. The instructions for my 1st Grader's math was to DECOMPOSE THIS EQUATION ! Like WTW! I put aside a lucrative career to become a Para in Special Education so I could work at my child's school. I'm about to RETHINK SOME THINGS! Love your channel! Sending love and light your way!
Whew!!!! I needed to see this. I have been so distant in my spiritual walk with God. I have shutdown at work while dealing with a manager who has shown that he is against me. Finally being reminded that I can’t only pray for strength. I have to pray for myself, that person and be intentional in not just praying but spending time with God.
Girl, yes, because why would we complicate a subject that’s already complicated!? 😂 it’s like the system wants them to fail or something lol we keep math simple over here in Miss DAUGHTRY’S classroom!
Ri, keep going girl, you're beautiful and intelligent. You will be engaged and looking back at this video thinking wow, I really stuck to my boundaries and made it through. I was faced with so much temptation when I got with my husband and I still am as a married woman but I focus on the test and I pass it every time because I know it is God seeing how strong I am and if I've really changed like I claim to have changed lol. To make a long story short, I pray that man finds you and love you in a way where you know he was sent by God. It's gonna happen, you just stay faithful and true to you.
Take the time you need to regroup yourself in your own timing. You have a good heart and I commend you for being a teacher . You really care and love what you do.
So relatable! Praying that God gives you a sound mind as you continue on. That you know that there is no condemnation for those in Christ. The process is challenging but God will guide you and I pray that you continue to see Him in all that you encounter.
Your transparency is so appreciated. It has definitely made me think about working on my intentionality as well. You are not alone. Keep your eyes on God. It will all work out for your good. Be sad for a moment, just don't stay there. Be blessed!
Appreciate your transparency! Try to remember who you are (a daughter of the most high). This is showing growth in your spiritual walk’ and yes it is very hard & challenging sending prayers your way !
Beautiful young lady of God! You are on the right track and whoever that you decide to spend time with, you will know if that person is for you, because you will not fear to say “By the way , I’m waiting until Marriage “. You will know it’s okay to say it when the time comes. Keep pushing through on your Faith walk be faithful to God and he will continue to be faithful to you.❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹
Baby you are not the only one going through this something I feel sad too we have no reason to feel sad it is a battle understand what you going through❤
Hey Ri!!!!!! I found your channel a few weeks ago and have literally binged almost all of your videos! I like love you and you’re so pretty! 🥰 I never comment but I felt it will be unjust to neglect telling you how much I love your transparency, especially about your faith walk and struggles. You are opening doors to talk about relatable topics in our walk with God that no one wants to talk about but the conversation is needed real bad! 😭 Thank you! I hope you continue to express yourself openly and I’ll be praying for you and your faith journey! Be blessed! 🙏🏾🧡
Love, your authenticity and transparency is freeing and so inclusionary. He’s breathing through you and helping so many. If I can offer anything, I hope you love yourself even more gently and with the utmost care through all the growth in your relationship with Him. We appreciate you. ❤
You are such a beautiful blessing 🎉💕I hope you rewatch this video because sis you talk it out and ministered to yourself while encouraging others. 🙏🏽 up stay strong you will get through this and be so happy you did❤️
Aww sending you so much love. I was there and in some ways still am. Living in purity is tough some days but I remember that I'm that GOOD thing, I'm God's handiwork. I'm worth more than rubies. So right off the bat, within the first interaction I throw my commitment to God's way in the conversation an let them decide how much value they see in me. If they can't afford the louis Vuitton bag then send them to Walmart where everything is cheap. The fight is real but you got it girl!
I have been watching you since you started your channel and I completely enjoy your content. This is the first time I am commenting, I was led to do so. I just want you to know that you are not alone in your struggle with the spirit and your flesh. I just did bible study with my nieces and we are reading ths book of James chapter 4 and this was our conversation. I felt your sincerity and your love for God. I see Him in you. Continue to stay the course and trust the process. God' s will will be done in every situation. ❤
Ms. Ri OMG this video right here. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE It. Its as if you were at my church on Sunday. This is just further conformation on what the Lord told us on yesterday. God is soooooooo real and Good. Put God first in everything you do. Even and especially dating.
It’s definitely a season of spiritual warfare and this last quarter of the year is definitely a faith fight! My pastor is preaching about breaking the spell of jezebel as a lot of believers are dealing with spiritual warfare. I also was doing some studying in my own time because of the warfare I am dealing with. I need to join your zoom meetings! I would love to share my thoughts and hear others❤️
This 👏🏾 spoke 👏🏾 to 👏🏾 me! I’m so happy I found your channel. I’ve been going through the EXACT same thing and was lowkey wondering what was wrong with me and why I struggled so much at this phase in my walk with the Lord. It’s encouraging just to know it’s not just me. ❤
Also, much respect to you for your transparency and heart to keep the Father first!!! He knows our hearts, and he will reel us in when we begin to waiver. 💞
Thank you for the "rant". I really thought I was the only person thinking like this so much so that I would talk to other ls about this topic and no one seemed to understand. I appreciate your transparency! ❤
Cousin you went down my street today, turned the corner and I saw you again. Deep vlog today. I gave in to my pity party and cried, got it out and kept going. Ri we fall down, but we get up, we fall down but we get up. for a saint is just a sinner who felk down.... but we got up. 💜 my daughter was going through a situation at her job and it didn't turn out well. people try to hurt you with words and actions when they aren't happy with themselves. keep your head up. And let that so called friend keep going. and because you didn't read your Bible doesn't make you less than. honestly you are doing a bit better than I am. You have no idea how much you have encouraged me through your videos. Self care encompasses so much. You are a beautiful soul Ri. Crying right now cause I really need to get myself together. By the way Team 4 eyes all day!🤓 Have a great week Ri and everyone. God is able to do just what he said he do. He's gonna fulfill every promise to you. Don't give up God ,cause he won't give up on you, He's Able. You've got this Ri.💜💪🙏
I love your rants overall, but mostly love transparency about your relationship with God. I understand why you wouldn’t want to spill to much because there are people who will attack you. But luckily I’m not one of them but everything you said was for me. Last week was tough and I’m glad I’m not the only one. But I pray you overcome this moment of your life as well as everyone else. Love you ❤
I relate so much, I 'm not a teacher, I work in the medical field but relationship with coworkers are important regardless of the field we are in. We should be able to go to work and be comfortable in that space. I also feel you with the personal relationship part also. It's a forever process and we must not get weary on the journey. Let's all keep each other lifted in prayer that we may be strengthened in every situation
Bestie! I have been behind and have to catch up on your videos! ❤️ but again I love the transparency of your faith walk and your struggles, it is soo relatable! For my own journey, I am resetting to try and gain that discipline and create my faith walk and journey with God! Thank you for the inspiration!
I really needed to watch this, I so understand & felt like you were speaking for me as well. Thank you for being transparent. I’m almost 50, this is real for all of us. God bless you 🙏🏽
Hey now! Literally everything that you're saying in this vlog is FACTS!!! I'm always saying "treat people how you wanna be treated."......PERIOD!! If I'm treating you badly, then that's what I should expect back. If you did them how they do you, it would definitely be an issue. The people stay doing too much & I intentionally stay away. I hope & pray you are well & having the most Best week on purpose 😊😊
Thanks for your vulnerability! The feeling you spoke about towards the relationships we have and how they impact us is spot on for me! I have the same struggles with new relationships!
💯 felt you sis. I so know your struggle with His Kingdom and our worldly self! I hope one day to join your Faith group and experience the presence of God. Keep on keeping on Him and may his continued love and blessings pour on and through you ❤️
Hang in there Ri! Girl it’s a struggle out here trying to maintain friendships. But God always shows us what we need to see…& everyone can’t go with us and that’s 🆙 ⬆️🙏🏾
Yes!!! Standing in complete agreement with this statement🤞🏽 It's crazy how people fall off when you start following Christ, but I will continue to pray that not only does He continue to remove those relationships from my life but that He would supply the right relationships ! 💕
Also, I am currently praying for my kingdom spouse as well. You should check out 31 Prayers for my future Husband by Jennifer & Aaron Smith. Hope this blesses you ❤️
Girllll same same and same. The struggle is real out here. Thanks for sharing because we often times feel alone in what we're going through so you opening up is helping so many others. God made you be vulnerable and open for a greater purpose. Thanks for sharing again and love your vlogs as always !
I don’t know why I’m just now finishing this video. I’m so behind so I’m binge watching Ri today😊. Your faith struggle talk hit home. It’s frustrating always pouring out and never getting it in return. And those distractions…whoooo don’t get me started.
God bless you for being Humble, open and transparent about your spiritual journey. I totally relate with you. Continue leaning into God's arms and I'm sure you will be alright. Cast your burdens unto him for he cares for you ❤️❤️
It's okay to set boundaries with people because you deserve it 👏 😌 always remember my dear sister we teach people how to treat us!!! I'm so blessed by you my dear sister ❤
Such a good video! I enjoyed the talk at the end. I can relate to a lot of the things you talked about regarding relationships. When it comes to the sex situation, it needs to be talked about before you start getting feelings for the person. Once the feelings come, you will have to fight with your flesh more when it comes to telling the person what you know God wants you to tell them. You have to have so much faith in God to know that if they don't want to wait then they aren't the one for you. I've noticed that when my faith starts to waiver, that's when I begin to compromise. Don't let the enemy win girl! Wait for the man that is connected to God so he can respect your boundaries. With all that being said.. give yourself some grace! Thanks for sharing your ups and downs when it comes to faith. :)
Ooooh, your talk about setting boundaries. I'm currently learning to do this in my life with friends and family as well. God wants us to create healthy boundaries that in turn grow healthy relationships. Keep pushing through. And please continue sharing because you are helping people.
Omg I am in the same place right now! Knowing what I need to do but I have been so avoidant because I don’t want to deal with the discomfort that comes with it! I so wish we could talk all the things!
Sis this video. WOW!! I needed to hear this. When you spoke about being intentional about relationships but sometimes not being intentional with God. I felt that. I’m definitely trying to be more intentional with my relationship with God. I would recommend listening to Jerry Flowers cuffing season. Great video!!
Hi Rianna, I know how you feel, I listen to our song No Gray when I start feeling that way. Life can really throw us curve balls at times when we are trying to do the right thing.
I use to work with toxic co workers. Start losing my mind at how hard the devil works to take us out of character. I fell off sometimes, but all we can do is pray for them and pray for ourselves so that we can deal with them.
Hi Rianna (and my fellow peeps in the comments). My mom and I watch your vlogs together all the time and we wanted to encourage you. I personally wanted you to know that you're DEF not alone in the waiting season. I have been there TOO many times with the frustration, etc. Also, I battled never feeling I was good enough or doing enough for God, and I believe that the enemy comes in through those thoughts to try to get us to quit. I just want you to know you're not alone at all. Living for God is not easy, esp in the current climate we're in. But I always think about how the things God tells us to do is for our protection. That's what keeps me in the fight. That battle between the flesh and the spirit is real! We love you and pray for you all the time.
Siiiiissss, Thank you! Thank you! I am confirming we will be okay!!! I have recently rededicated my life to Christ and wrestling with the same thing like how do I have that celibacy conversation? Am I strong enough to handle dating and THAT boundary or do I just not date?? But I want my Boaz so how does he find me if I'm not even dating 🤦🏾♀️??!! At this point I'm just going to pray for guidance on that whole situation BUT my point was to let you know what you're wrestling with is common and you aren't alone. As a matter of fact thank you for helping realize it's not just me...Keep being transparent, sharing your journey amd blessing us....Love you, BESTIE 😊😊
Praise God almighty. Your daily testimonies are doing what God has called you to do . Encourage,inspire, abide , faith battle, our timelines , familial ties , life , managing this worldly life , work … all of it and teaching students specifically algebra. It’s a reflection of my life and thank you for I can identify with you . Thanking God for leading me to your channel . We need this support. The world is different - it’s a dark spiritual battle and God is getting us through it is a battle .HE is using you . Psalm 73:26 🙏💕
i think that when the right person finds you, you’ll find it so much easier to tell them that you’re waiting for marriage because they’ll have those same goals of abiding by God.
Thanks for your transparency, Ri ❤️ I pray God helps you figure out all the things you need direction on (Jer. 33:3). Also, I LOVE that black straight hair on you!
I love your content and your journey in Christ. I get this feeling that you need to be like a Principal at a school. Your spirit and your desire to do more for the youth is amazing. I pray God gives you Clarity and Difinitive clarity to be the best you can be in this space. I am so greatful for your transparency. It makes me think and want to be better in Christ. God Bless you Sis
Hey Bestie. I understand you. I need a break from my job because it is very draining and toxic. You so just described my weekend. I declined the Halloween party invites and baked cookies and watch hallmark all weekend and it was fantastic. I need to come to Philly for a Holiday Hallmark Hangout. Continued Blessings to you.
Hey bestie. I am not a wig person but that Latisha is looking so good on you, I just ordered it to. My very recent crochet is not working out. Thank you for sharing the link!

Hi,
You are not alone in this struggle. This journey we are on is a process. We serve a God of another chance.
Listennnn...I am so glad about that!!!!

The fact that your friend made you wait for 6hrs isn’t on you it’s on them. When people show you who they are, believe them.

Also, much respect to you for your transparency and heart to keep the Father first!!! He knows our hearts, and he will reel us in when we begin to waiver. 💞
Thank you for the "rant". I really thought I was the only person thinking like this so much so that I would talk to other ls about this topic and no one seemed to understand. I appreciate your transparency! ❤
Cousin you went down my street today, turned the corner and I saw you again. Deep vlog today. I gave in to my pity party and cried, got it out and kept going. Ri we fall down, but we get up, we fall down but we get up. for a saint is just a sinner who felk down.... but we got up. 💜 my daughter was going through a situation at her job and it didn't turn out well. people try to hurt you with words and actions when they aren't happy with themselves. keep your head up. And let that so called friend keep going. and because you didn't read your Bible doesn't make you less than. honestly you are doing a bit better than I am. You have no idea how much you have encouraged me through your videos. Self care encompasses so much. You are a beautiful soul Ri. Crying right now cause I really need to get myself together. By the way Team 4 eyes all day!🤓 Have a great week Ri and everyone. God is able to do just what he said he do. He's gonna fulfill every promise to you. Don't give up God ,cause he won't give up on you, He's Able. You've got this Ri.💜💪🙏
I love your rants overall, but mostly love transparency about your relationship with God. I understand why you wouldn’t want to spill to much because there are people who will attack you.
But luckily I’m not one of them but everything you said was for me. Last week was tough and I’m glad I’m not the only one. But I pray you overcome this moment of your life as well as everyone else. Love you ❤
I relate so much, I 'm not a teacher, I work in the medical field but relationship with coworkers are important regardless of the field we are in. We should be able to go to work and be comfortable in that space. I also feel you with the personal relationship part also. It's a forever process and we must not get weary on the journey. Let's all keep each other lifted in prayer that we may be strengthened in every situation
Totally agree with what you said about co-workers. Love your vids!
Bestie! I have been behind and have to catch up on your videos! ❤️ but again I love the transparency of your faith walk and your struggles, it is soo relatable! For my own journey, I am resetting to try and gain that discipline and create my faith walk and journey with God! Thank you for the inspiration!
I really needed to watch this, I so understand & felt like you were speaking for me as well. Thank you for being transparent. I’m almost 50, this is real for all of us. God bless you 🙏🏽
Hey now! Literally everything that you're saying in this vlog is FACTS!!! I'm always saying "treat people how you wanna be treated."......PERIOD!! If I'm treating you badly, then that's what I should expect back. If you did them how they do you, it would definitely be an issue. The people stay doing too much & I intentionally stay away. I hope & pray you are well & having the most Best week on purpose 😊😊
Thanks for your vulnerability! The feeling you spoke about towards the relationships we have and how they impact us is spot on for me! I have the same struggles with new relationships!
@Rianna Janis
Oh my gosh! I’m going through some of this now.
💯 felt you sis. I so know your struggle with His Kingdom and our worldly self! I hope one day to join your Faith group and experience the presence of God. Keep on keeping on Him and may his continued love and blessings pour on and through you ❤️
Hang in there Ri! Girl it’s a struggle out here trying to maintain friendships. But God always shows us what we need to see…& everyone can’t go with us and that’s 🆙 ⬆️🙏🏾
Yes!!! Standing in complete agreement with this statement🤞🏽 It's crazy how people fall off when you start following Christ, but I will continue to pray that not only does He continue to remove those relationships from my life but that He would supply the right relationships ! 💕
Also, I am currently praying for my kingdom spouse as well. You should check out 31 Prayers for my future Husband by Jennifer & Aaron Smith. Hope this blesses you ❤️
I agree it does seem like this is a season where people in our lives that aren't adding value then let them go!! Great content as always!!!
Thanks for sharing your struggles with us. I can so relate. Stay strong ❤❤❤❤
Girllll same same and same. The struggle is real out here. Thanks for sharing because we often times feel alone in what we're going through so you opening up is helping so many others. God made you be vulnerable and open for a greater purpose. Thanks for sharing again and love your vlogs as always !
I love watching your vlogs
I don’t know why I’m just now finishing this video. I’m so behind so I’m binge watching Ri today😊. Your faith struggle talk hit home. It’s frustrating always pouring out and never getting it in return. And those distractions…whoooo don’t get me started.
God bless you for being Humble, open and transparent about your spiritual journey. I totally relate with you. Continue leaning into God's arms and I'm sure you will be alright. Cast your burdens unto him for he cares for you ❤️❤️
It's okay to set boundaries with people because you deserve it 👏 😌 always remember my dear sister we teach people how to treat us!!! I'm so blessed by you my dear sister ❤
Such a good video! I enjoyed the talk at the end. I can relate to a lot of the things you talked about regarding relationships. When it comes to the sex situation, it needs to be talked about before you start getting feelings for the person. Once the feelings come, you will have to fight with your flesh more when it comes to telling the person what you know God wants you to tell them. You have to have so much faith in God to know that if they don't want to wait then they aren't the one for you. I've noticed that when my faith starts to waiver, that's when I begin to compromise. Don't let the enemy win girl! Wait for the man that is connected to God so he can respect your boundaries. With all that being said.. give yourself some grace! Thanks for sharing your ups and downs when it comes to faith. :)
Ooooh, your talk about setting boundaries. I'm currently learning to do this in my life with friends and family as well. God wants us to create healthy boundaries that in turn grow healthy relationships. Keep pushing through. And please continue sharing because you are helping people.
I just became a subscriber and your spiritual journey has evolved!
I needed to watch this vlog, the same exact thing I went through a couple years back.
Hey Rianna!! If you want to warm your eggs, peel it and cut it in half so that stem can escape. I warm my eggs also. I learned the hard way😍🤣
Omg I am in the same place right now! Knowing what I need to do but I have been so avoidant because I don’t want to deal with the discomfort that comes with it! I so wish we could talk all the things!
Sis this video. WOW!! I needed to hear this. When you spoke about being intentional about relationships but sometimes not being intentional with God. I felt that. I’m definitely trying to be more intentional with my relationship with God. I would recommend listening to Jerry Flowers cuffing season. Great video!!
I knew there was a reason I clicked on this!!! Def feel everything you were talking about at 20 minute mark
Hi Rianna, I know how you feel, I listen to our song No Gray when I start feeling that way. Life can really throw us curve balls at times when we are trying to do the right thing.
God will see you (us) through because this battle will be our testimony! ❤🙌
Love the transparency
Hey 👋🏾 what’s the name of the black wig?
I use to work with toxic co workers. Start losing my mind at how hard the devil works to take us out of character. I fell off sometimes, but all we can do is pray for them and pray for ourselves so that we can deal with them.
Girl, I don't even share the same beliefs as you but here I am cheering for you to do you, be you, follow yr boundaries. I love you're channel.
Hi Rianna (and my fellow peeps in the comments). My mom and I watch your vlogs together all the time and we wanted to encourage you. I personally wanted you to know that you're DEF not alone in the waiting season. I have been there TOO many times with the frustration, etc. Also, I battled never feeling I was good enough or doing enough for God, and I believe that the enemy comes in through those thoughts to try to get us to quit. I just want you to know you're not alone at all. Living for God is not easy, esp in the current climate we're in. But I always think about how the things God tells us to do is for our protection. That's what keeps me in the fight. That battle between the flesh and the spirit is real! We love you and pray for you all the time.
Yesss, for being a Steelers fan! I’m from Pittsburgh that’s my home team! It was meant for me to click on your vlog! 🎉
Love this Channel!
Thank you for being so Transparent this was so relatable.
Siiiiissss, Thank you! Thank you! I am confirming we will be okay!!! I have recently rededicated my life to Christ and wrestling with the same thing like how do I have that celibacy conversation? Am I strong enough to handle dating and THAT boundary or do I just not date?? But I want my Boaz so how does he find me if I'm not even dating 🤦🏾♀️??!! At this point I'm just going to pray for guidance on that whole situation BUT my point was to let you know what you're wrestling with is common and you aren't alone. As a matter of fact thank you for helping realize it's not just me...Keep being transparent, sharing your journey amd blessing us....Love you, BESTIE 😊😊
You are so cute. Hold on baby, ignore the haters . I can imagine the kids are a task, but hang in there as long as you can. They need you!
I’ve missed the Faith Talk twice in a row and I definitely miss y’all
Praise God almighty. Your daily testimonies are doing what God has called you to do . Encourage,inspire, abide , faith battle, our timelines , familial ties , life , managing this worldly life , work … all of it and teaching students specifically algebra. It’s a reflection of my life and thank you for I can identify with you . Thanking God for leading me to your channel . We need this support. The world is different - it’s a dark spiritual battle and God is getting us through it is a battle .HE is using you . Psalm 73:26 🙏💕
I am truly praying for you. Thank you for being a blessing to others even in your struggle. Hold on to God's unchanging hand.
i think that when the right person finds you, you’ll find it so much easier to tell them that you’re waiting for marriage because they’ll have those same goals of abiding by God.
Great vlog as always ❤️👍🏾👏🏾🤗
We all fall short of the glory of God. Pray and ask God to help you speak his truth.
Thanks for your transparency, Ri ❤️ I pray God helps you figure out all the things you need direction on (Jer. 33:3). Also, I LOVE that black straight hair on you!
Thank you so much for the share. Did your roller come with a case and extra roller if so where did you purchase the Ice Roller?
I love your content and your journey in Christ. I get this feeling that you need to be like a Principal at a school. Your spirit and your desire to do more for the youth is amazing. I pray God gives you Clarity and Difinitive clarity to be the best you can be in this space. I am so greatful for your transparency. It makes me think and want to be better in Christ. God Bless you Sis
Thank you so much im in the walk of purity too and i get your struggles
Yaasss honey! Black and Gold through and through!
Thank you for this! I know you posted the zoom link but, is there a website for Faith Talk?
Girl I feel you, these students are draining. You definitely need breaks. I'm trying to make it lol. Can't wait until Thanksgiving break:)
Hey Bestie. I understand you. I need a break from my job because it is very draining and toxic. You so just described my weekend. I declined the Halloween party invites and baked cookies and watch hallmark all weekend and it was fantastic. I need to come to Philly for a Holiday Hallmark Hangout. Continued Blessings to you.
Hey bestie. I am not a wig person but that Latisha is looking so good on you, I just ordered it to. My very recent crochet is not working out. Thank you for sharing the link!
i love watching ur vlogs .............
Loved this video so much. I understand especially being in a school setting❤️. Keep up the transparency and continue to let God use you. ❤️
Your glasses where girlllll? Love them 🎉
