Several years ago, I was going through a divorce. I went to California to visit my older sister for a season. She treated me with so much love; I will never forget her kindness. When I cried myself to sleep at night – she would sit on the floor by my bed and kiss my hand, I could feel her tears run down my fingers.

Do you want to get rid of unwelcome thoughts that won’t go away? You know—the ones you can’t get out of your mind no matter how hard you try. You pray and journal about the problem that’s at the root of those thoughts and even talk it over with a friend, but they keep coming back. Maybe it’s anger over something that’s unfair. Maybe your recurring thought is one of shame, fear, or regret. Maybe you can’t stop thinking about eating fattening “goodies” or doing something else that’s not good for you.
Still Waiting
By Keisha Bass
Thirty-four years old, never married, no children. Does God really have a plan? His Word says that man is not meant to be alone. Doesn’t that mean I was meant for some man? I cannot tell you how many times I have had this conversation with myself. No, I’m not crazy, just lonesome sometimes. But however lonely I am, or think I am, that is no reason to rush into something that will leave me with a broken heart. I have been saved from potential heartache many times over. Each time I think it’s a good idea to settle for a man I am not equally yoked with, I am reminded God does have a good plan for my life. Although the temptation to compromise my values to satisfy my flesh is there, I do not need to act on my feelings because that can lead to issues later.
