Meet The Bowmans...Bride presents Dad a Purity Certificate

Timothy "Tim" Bowman Jr is an American Gospel Musician and Brelyn Freeman is the daughter of a well known American Pastor. Bree is a young entrepreneur and preacher of purity. I started following her on instagram after i saw a cute picture of her. Their story broke the internet after Brelyn presented a "Purity Certificate" to her Father, Pastor

Mike Freeman. Though she got a lot of criticism but the new bride is cool and still stands by her Purity Certificate.

Let me explain what a Purity Certificate is...a document signed by her Doctor thag her hymen is intact. Although i have my reservations and maybe a few questions but i'm still a fan of the newlly wedded couple.

  It feels good to know that both Bree and her husband Tim decided to wait until they were married to have sex.

 Let’s share the news: Purity is Possible in 2015! Here are some of the special moments captured from Instagram via #MeetTheBowmans

Bree shared this on her page “The peace of God covered our day.” One of my greatest desires for my wedding and marriage thereafter is that God is the center and is glorified. It’s beautiful to see couples worship the Gift-giver at their wedding and give honor where it’s due. "It was truly an atmosphere where angels could reside & not feel out of place. A place where love healed broken hearts, encouraged some to press on & to rekindle love," 

They honored God with their purity. Once again, purity is possible! Brelyn and Tim were both virgins and they have dated for about 3 years. Purity like i tell people is more than just being a virgin, it's about honoring God, to be pure in mind, body and spirit. This is necessary for a great marriage and your commitment to the Lord. If you are reading this and you're not a virgin you can always recommit your body to the Lord like i did (Romans 12:1-2) and honor God saving physical intimacy for your future spouse.

It's not been easy but i'm trusting God to help me.

Tim serenades his wife...
 Tim sang “I Believe in You and Me” as his bride walked down the aisle with her dad. Tim Bowman on his instagram page shared a video saying: “I tried my hardest to make it through this song without crying! Lol Well I failed, but what came out was from my heart straight to my wife!! Still just humbled and grateful that people came out to celebrate w/ us!" 

It was such a classy event! From the Vera Wang Bridal gown to the glamorous ceremony pictures. The truth is, it's not about the glam but when you're obedient to God He can and will give you more than you've ever expected. A few trends i noticed: the clever wedding day hashtag (#MeetTheBowmans), lovely engagement photos, photo booth fun, and more. I love the bridesmaid and grooms men invites though!

❤️❤️❤️

Can You Pay The Price?

1. She met him at a Motor Park

2. She was a university student - GREAT IFE

while he was only a Polytechnic student in

Kwara Poly (Remember the discrimination) – she could have snubbed him - but she responded.

3. His friends complained that he was

carrying Christianity too zealously as if he

was the only Christian - she became zealous

too.

4. He took her to church in 1976 and made

her sign an agreement (SAILING UNDER

SEALED ORDERS) to marry and follow him whether he becomes blind, lame or

handicapped… she signed.

5. Just before he married her, he told her

God had sent him to LIBERATE THE Worlds (while he was still hopping between jobs)

and went on to resign his job; his elder

brother lambasted him, she stuck to him.

6. He told her God had shown him the key

to prosperity - she believed.

7. He told her they would build a 50,000

capacity tent and preach the gospel from

private jets - she believed her dreamer lover.

8. He was too ‘buoyant’ to afford a hotel

room on his wedding eve, he slept in his

rickety Volkswagen beetle – she married

him.

9. During a moment of insane faith, he

ordered a mad man to be put in his car

alone with her while she was pregnant; she

remained.

10. She saw she was dripping blood while

pregnant and explained to him that she had

a miscarriage, he shouted “It CANNOT

Happen, can I have my food please” – she

served him food.

11. She just had their first baby and there

was no food or money at home. He refused

to borrow or ask or take from church

money and they were drinking/eating

“CERELAC Baby food’ for 3 days – she ate

with him.

12. She came to church one day and saw

him so excited with few members while

waiting for service to start; he explained to

her that service was actually over – she

laughed.

13. People kept praying for her and her

husband as they seemed to be crazy and

needed deliverance-she kept faith.

14. He announced a new Bible school and

she knew there was no facility; she asked

him and he replied “Is it your school”? She

kept quiet.

BUT SHE DIDN'T KNOW…

15. She didn't know they were going to be

flying in customized jets round the world.

16. She didn’t know he would pastor and

she, co-pastor the largest church auditorium in the world.

17. She didn’t know he would be a father to millions all over the world.

18. She didn’t know he would be hosted by

Presidents and Heads of States of nations.

19. She didn’t know he would be a

Chancellor and Pioneer of one of the best

Private Universities in the world…..and

others.

20. She woke up one day on her sick bed in the USA and unexpectedly saw her hubby who had flown in quietly from Nigeria and had refused to wake her up…..he was kneeling on the floor by her legs and crying ‘Lord, heal her and prove that you sent me”- She got healed miraculously…more than once!

All she saw was a Man with A BIG GOD

inside him.

21. She said to her husband 'Honey,we need to change the school of this children'. The school is no longer what it used to be.

Parents are complaining and they aren't

doing anything about it. Her husband

Bishop David Oyedepo responded: Why?

No! She never altered a word after that. She went back to God on her kneels in Prayers.

She prayed: God touch the heart of your son who is my husband. You alone understand this present situation. Let him see reasons with what I am saying. Not up to a day,her husband the Bishop said to her: Honey,that reminds me.

You made mention of we changing the children's school,how far have

you gone with it? This was a man that said why? no earlier on. She never argued with him but rather went back to her God. Her name is FAITH: Pastor (Mrs) Faith Oyedepo.

Here is a question for the ladies:

Can you pay the Price Ladies???

Chapter 1: Lady Of Reckless Abandonment

Have you assumed that your ultimate fulfillment would be found in marriage? Have you privately entertained the notion that the only satisfied women are married women? Have you been expecting yiur career to satisfy you until you are married? If you have answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you have a prospect of diillusionment looming in the future.

     "A woman is not born a woman. Nor does she become one when she marries a man, bears a child and does their dirty linen, not even when she joins a women's liberation movement. A woman becomes a woman when she becomes what God wants her to be."

Too many Christian women think that thebiner longings of their heart relate only to love, marriage, and motherhood. If we look closer, we will see that it's a longing ultimately for Jesus. According to Gary chapman "marriage is not a higher calling than the single state. Happiness is not found in marriage but in a tight relationship with God." Fulfillment for a Christian woman begins with the Lordship of Christ in every area of her life.

The secret to becoming a Lady Of Reckless Abandonment is to understand that No one, not even the man you will amrry one day eill make you happy- only Jesus can.

We can arise above this stereotype by renewing our mind.

We can be an exception through understanding "the secret of the alabaster box"

The Secret Of The Alabaster Box~~

This is about giving our ALL to our heavenly Bridegroom (see Mark 14:3-9, Luke 7:37, Mathew 26:14, Luke1:38)

The woman in Mark 14 although described as a sinner, had dreams and wisely broke her alabaster box in the presence of the only One who can make a woman's dream come true.

Have you been holding on tighltly to your alabaster box? Take your alabaster box to Jesus and break it in His presence because He is worthy of such honour. When Jesus is your Lord, you can joyfully walk in the path of life that He has for you.

Ruth's Reckless Abandonment

We are all familiar with the storybof Ruth. The young widow who made a critical decision to turn her back on her people, her country, and her gods because her thirsty soul had tasted the God of Israel. She recklessly abandoned herself to the only true God. She willingly broke her alabaster box and folloed God wherever He would lead her. She made a New friend (Naomi) becaue she knew she would not be able to grow closer to God if she remained among the Moabites (Her people).

Ruth  relocated in order to be fed spiritually. We are to look for something that will stimulate our growth in the Lord. Ruth had to forsake the familiar and comfortable to receieve God's best forbher life. She also moved from a false religion into the only true and eternal relationship.

 Ruth's choice was costly but the return on this high price far outweighedbher investment.

A career, a marriage, or even motherhood is not enough to totally satisfy us by itself. God knows that we will never be complete until we really understand that we are complete in Jesus. A woman not conplete in Jesus will be a drain on her husband. Such a eoman will expect her husband to fill the gap that only Jesus can fill. Only the single woman who understands this means of being complete in Jesus is mature enough to be a helpmeet.

Colossians 2:9-10Amplified Bible (AMP)

"For in Him all the fullness of Deity (the Godhead) dwells in bodily form [completely expressing the divine essence of God]. And in Him you have been made complete [achieving spiritual stature through Christ], and He is the head over all rule and authority [of every angelic and earthly power].

Also see Psalm73:28a....

Becoming a Lady in Waiting begins with reckless abandonment to Jesus. the strength and discipline necessary to be a Lady of Diligence, Faith, Virtue, Devotion, Purity, Security, Contentment, Conviction, and Patience is discovered in the radical way of relating to our heavenly Bridegroom.

"Marriage teaches us that even the not intimate human companionship canoy satisfy the deepest places of the heart. Our hearts are lonely till they reat in Him." ~~ Elisabeth Elliot.

Chapter 2: Lady of Diligence review will be up soon. Stay glued and share with a friend!

What makes you a wife material?

Have you ever wondered what guys are looking for in a wife? 

Or maybe you’re a man, and you’ve dated a few women, but never felt like someone was “marriage material”. I think you may find this piece helpful.

John Fileta points out three traits she found in his wife Debra that won his heart. 

Compassion: Nothing melts a man’s heart more than a woman who exudes love and compassion for others. According to John, first weekend met his wife Deb, the one thing that stuck out to him was how big her heart was. (Though he thought she was unbelievably gorgeous, which is also a plus…). She wasn’t just talking the talk, she was living it out. 

The reason compassion is so attractive to a man, is because true compassion stems directly from the heart of Christ. When God’s love fills a person, that love begins to overflow into all areas of their life and impact those around them. Compassion was something that stood out to John in his wife-to-be, because it wasn’t a love that was being given in order to receive, it was a supernatural love that was being given freely because of what Jesus had done in her life. That, in and of itself, spoke volumes to the kind of wife she would one day be.

Direction: We’re all traveling through the journey of life, and it’s our hope that one day someone will be journeying by our side. But the thing is, the person who ends up next to you has a huge impact on the direction your life will take. A key quality to being marriage material is a woman who has direction. 

Direction doesn’t necessarily mean that she is going to be a neurosurgeon or big-shot attorney, and isn’t synonymous with how much money she is going to make or how successful she will be. Direction is when a person realizes their God-given talent and purpose in life and begins to run in that direction with all their heart. When He met Deb, she was in graduate school for counseling. He knew almost nothing about the field. But as she talked about it, He could see the excitement and passion in her eyes. He has so much respect and appreciation for what she does because he's seen the huge impact she makes one life at a time. 

The important thing to note about direction is that it goes above and beyond your career. It’s about understanding what God has gifted you to do, and then doing it well: whether that be your career, your ministry, or your relationships. 

Confidence: There is nothing more attractive than a woman who is secure in who she is and knows her value. I think one of the biggest problems today facing women is an identity crisis perpetuated by the media, movies, and the entire entertainment industry. But the most beautiful thing a woman can be is wrapped up in the understanding of her intrinsic value, a God-given value that can’t be taken away. There is something undeniably attractive about that, because let’s be honest, it’s rare. All these photo-shopped images of women that we see all around us are actually so far removed from the very things that a GODLY man finds attractive. It’s my hope that more and more women would realize that they are beautiful simply because they are made in God’s image: mind, body, and spirit- and then begin to live out that beauty. 

Side note to the men: Don’t fall into the lies of pornography, or thinking that a woman is beautiful simply because she falls under the standards of society. That beauty is truly only skin deep, and won’t survive a life-time of ups and downs in marriage and raising children. 

The first time John actually met Deb, He thought she was one of the most beautiful women He had ever met and was undeniably attracted to her. But though her external beauty caught his eye, it was her internal beauty and identity in Christ that won his heart. “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord shall be praised….”

To all of you men looking for a woman who is marriage material, or for the women who are trying to become it – remember this: becoming marriage material is so much more than simply trying to get married. Ultimately, it’s about becoming all that God has called you to be.

Emotional Sex2...(Know When To Open Up & When Not To)

Dating is such a special time.  It’s a time to really get to know someone and invest in who they are.  It’s a time to let your guard down a little at a time and begin to share the truths of who you are.

But that’s the key word.  A little…at…a…time.  When you enter into relationship, you should be at a point in your life where you are ready to be open, ready to share, and ready to communicate.  But there should always be limits to this kind of openness.  There are times to be open and share your heart–but, there are also times to withhold.

I don’t recommend sitting down at your first date and spilling every detail and secret in your life.  Relationships should be seen as a journey of building trust.  You build a little at a time.  You give a little at a time.  Lay the foundations first, then begin building the house.  Be real, be genuine, and be honest- but never without the anchor of boundaries and the weight of wisdom.

Waiting on God?

"Seek ye first, the Kingdom of God and every other thing will be added unto you"

This is one of my favorite bible verse and it applies to this beautiful matchmade in heaven story you're about to read.

The bride "Yinka" was my course mate in Bowen University, we graduated same year. We can both pass for one of the naughty ones in our set...lol

I was happy for Yinka when i saw a picture of her engagement of instagram. ...i wasn't only happy that she was enagaged, i was happy that a Godly man found her...

There's a lot to be learnt from Yinka's story especially for the Ladies.

HER STORY...

I've had a few serious relationships and a few unserious relationships but they all ended up really bad, no matter how hard I loved or trusted someone they just ended taking me for granted and hurting me from dangerous lies, cheating, disrespecting etc they made me look down on myself sometimes... I always thought it was my fault, like there was something wrong with me or God was punishing me for something. At some point I said to myself 'No More' I was no longer interested in any kind of serious relationship, I wanted to be free. During this 'me' time I discovered a lot of things about myself, relationships and life, I also got closer to God, I discovered 'BIBLE SECRETS' , I read books started making friends with d right people. At this time there was serious pressure on me to get married or atleast bring a man home but I wasn't in a hurry because I made a deal with God that he will choose my husband and bring him to me and I stood on it and did not worry about it... One day a Christian mother in my office sent for me and asked why Richard and I don't talk and insisted we started talking. I was like 'Ahh just like that, of all the people in this office why him' but I had to obey her, she's a woman of God and an elderly person. That's how we started talking oo there was no attraction no spark nothing but according to him he knew he had to marry me but I kept saying he's not my type... May this 'not my type' put many ladies in trouble' because all d other guys that  kept hurting me were 'my type' n here I had an excellent, gentle, God fearing, hard working man that wanted to love me n I was saying 'not my type'. I was not nice to him at all but he stayed loving me n refused to go oo... I decided to get close to him n it's just been d best decision thing ever, he made me love myself even more, he inspires me, puts me 1st, he prays with n for me everyday, I am not exaggerating I've been so happy n I just started shining n glowing anyhow lol n he never tried to touch me... I have a past, I've done things I'm not proud of, I've dated horrible mean guys but God thinks I'm worthy of his grace because I turned to him n he put lines in pleasant places for me, he broke protocols for my sake. Today I am Mrs Richard Ogundare *whoop whoop*

He makes ALL things beautuful in His time....❤️

Living Free....

Freedom from sin does not equal a perfect record, I’m coming to understand.

I’m going on 2years of being on the run from sexual immorality. When I say that I mean that I’ve been free from past habits that I’d been trapped in for the majority of my life. I’ve had one major hiccup & two over the board acts. One when I got closer to an old friend and  the other when I started liking some good guy..someone I should have turned away from. Everything happened at a time when i was starving my inner man.

What am I doing? I thought, Am I really going to step back into this when I’ve been so wonderfully out for so long?

I decided, no, i have to put an end to it. 

Here’s where I saw the freedom: I wouldn't let either of those failings drag me back into the usual cycle. I know where i'm coming from and it's not a very pleasant lifestyle.

On a good day, my failing or allow me to say my falling would have triggered my surrender to my flesh, and to the idea that I can’t ever get it right and be free from lust. I remember sending a message to my friend saying "maybe i'm not a good girl afterall" I almost gave up and and the whole process would begin anew.

Why? Because I believed that if I can’t do it perfectly, if I mess up once then I’ve ruined the purity streak and might as well indulge.

Now I see that even though I’ve messed up twice or more I’m still living in freedom. I wouldn't let those failures get in the way of saying no now. It’s not about keeping a perfect record. It’s about choosing grace this very moment.

I say no to the cycle. It doesn’t line up with the Gospel, or with God’s grace. What I’ve got now is much better and it’s truth. If I stumble it doesn’t send me back to the starting line, so I shouldn’t immediately go back to it. I should get up, right where I am and press on toward the prize.

Also, I want to say to those who are also struggling. I’m still tempted, but honestly the less you indulge the easier it gets and the less frequent the temptation. A HUGE part of this is saying no to watching or listening to things that make your mind want to go there. Avoid perversive conversations...yea..we are saved but sometimes we get carried away and we start to discuss things that are not edifying with the opposite sex or maybe fridnds.

Like, last night I said I didn’t want to watch a certain movie because I knew there was sex in it though I couldn’t remember how much. If I’d seen it I knew it would make the temptation to fantasize more difficult so I said no.

keep going! Abstaining gets easier with time! As long as you remember that it's about honoring God with your body.

Smile...Jesus Loves you

No Man Can Make You Happy

Have you been wondering Why your boyfriend doesn’t just get you? Have you been trying to figure out why your husband or boyfriend of several years can't make your happy? Well, the truth is: No man can make you happy. And I’m not sure God ever designed men to.

That’s because happiness is based on circumstances. Yet circumstances are the one part of our lives over which we have virtually no control. Since we can’t control circumstances, pursuing happiness means constantly scanning our surroundings to see if they make us happy. And as soon as we start doing that, we will find all the reasons why our circumstances don’t measure up.

God never intended us to be passive. He made us to actively engage this world and to shine in it. So perhaps we need another route to happiness in marriage or our relationships—one that is far more likely to get us to the finish line. And it starts with fixing our own hearts.

Pursue Joy

I think of happiness as quite distinct from joy or contentment. Joy looks upward, contentment looks inward, and happiness looks outward. Joy says, “How great is our God!” Contentment says, “It is well with my soul.” And happiness says, “All things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all.” But you can’t appreciate what’s outside of you until you’re at peace with what’s inside. And that requires focusing on God first.

Psalm 37:4 : “Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart”. This doesn’t mean that when we delight ourselves in God he gives us everything we want; it means that when we delight ourselves in God, he actually changes what we want. We start looking with gratitude at what God has done for us.

Take Responsibility for Your Own Happiness

Sometimes nothing changes except  we work on our attitude. We need to Run after God!

Women! jump on the Joy track and start looking for ways to bring God into your daily life. You can start to conversationally pray “without ceasing.” Turn to Scripture not to fix her problems but just to see Jesus.

We need to understand first of all that  Our happiness is a gift to the people we cherish...husband..kids... When we pursue joy and find happiness, we no longer rely on 'man" to make us happy. When we look to God first, we free our husbands or loved ones  to be who God made them to be, not who we want them to be. And that changes the whole dynamic in the relationship.

Deal with Sin

Jesus wants to bring wholeness to our lives, relationships and our marriages, and that wholeness can only come when we deal with our issues honestly.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9, NIV). We’re to make peace, not just keep peace. And in some marriages, too many keep peace. A lot of us (women) are so afraid of conflict that we try to keep issues from reaching the surface. peace we need to know isn't the absence of conflict (1 Corinthians 1:10). Real peace only comes when we stop hiding from reality and we bring our mess to God—even if that means rocking the boat.

Jesus gives us a different route to happiness.We are not to aim for happiness; but to aim for him instead. That’s not passively waiting for someone to make our life better; it’s actively pursuing God’s best for us, for our husbands, and for our marriage. Even if it’s hard.

Matthew 6:33 makes it clear enough that when we seek God first, every other thing will be added unto us. And so we need to keep running after Jesus because that’s the only way we can really experience any man's love.

cheers...

MORE THAN SEX!

There’s more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, “The two become one.” Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never “become one.” There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for “becoming one” with another. Or didn’t you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.

If his tummy is paining him...please give him felvin 👿👿😈👿

Most importantly......don't lead him on...its difficult!! Yes!! Sometimes you will get horngry but remember you're doing it for God!

If he truly cares about you....he will wait!

I Am...

I am the temple of the Holy Spirit; I am not my own (1 Corinthians 6:19).

I am the head and not the tail; I am above only and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13).

I am the light of the world (Matthew 5:14).

I am His elect, full of mercy, kindness, humility, and longsuffering (Romans 8:33; Colossians 3:12).

I am forgiven of all my sins and washed in the Blood (Ephesians 1:7).

I am delivered from the power of darkness and translated into God’s kingdom (Colossians 1:13).

I am redeemed from the curse of sin, sickness, and poverty (Deuteronomy 28:15-68; Galatians 3:13).

I am firmly rooted, built up, established in my faith and overflowing with gratitude (Colossians 2:7). #InChristAlone#Divinediva 💕#JoyceMeyer #KnowingWhoIam

My Future Husband...

I'm getting married to the most amazing man on earth...the type that wouldn't ask me "how many sexual partners I've had"...the type that would support my transparency & not be ashamed of my story...i've confessed my sins to God & reconciled with my past...I don't owe any man any explanation.

 My husband will have full confidence in me & i will bring him good all the days of my life... John 8vs7 when they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." 💕💕💕 My unknown future is in the hands of the all-knowing God..

Emotional sex 1..."play together not pray together"

This might sound contradictory to your Christian beliefs. It is true that prayer is such an important part of any relationship. While this sounds well and good…in my opinion, i feel it’s actually a really dangerous road to travel at such early stages in a relationship.

I've heard about so many couples who started their relationship by investing time in deep spiritual prayer with one another and spending time in God’s word together but there's just something about it that doesn't seem acceptable to me.

Seeking the heart of God and pouring out your heart and soul to Him through prayer is one of the most emotionally vulnerable places you will ever be.  It’s essentially like being spiritually naked because before God, you hide nothing emotionally.

It’s good to pray about your relationship and to seek God’s voice, but WAIT to seek it together. In the early stages of dating, seek to pursue God as an individual before allowing your relationship with Him to become a trio prematurely by including your significant other.  There will be a day for deep and intimate spiritual unity…but it’s not now.

Datung relationship in it’s early stages is meant to be a time of getting to know each other, and learning all the superficial things you can know before taking it to the next level. Use this season for just that!  Don’t go too deep too fast, because the emotional intimacy that comes with deep shared moments like this can actually pull you in far deeper than you were ever meant to go, and in the end, leave you with a broken heart…and a broken spirit.

Share your thoughts...

Healthy People Make Healthy Relationship..

I’m getting sick and tired of our culture’s attempt to fix “marriages” across our country, without actually fixing individuals first. Marriages are suffering because the individual people within those marriages are broken, bruised, and in need of healing. I like to remind people that the only way to create a healthy relationship, is to become healthy standing alone.

We bring all our baggage and our junk into marriage, and then we’re surprised when it rears it’s ugly head. But I can guarantee you that all your junk will be multiplied and magnified within the pressure cooker of marriage. Christians, let’s not be naive- the very things you struggle with while standing alone, will be the very things you eventually struggle with in the context of your marriage. 100% of the time. Whether you are single, married, or somewhere in between, there is no better time than this to look inward and allow God to open your eyes to the things you need to work out in your life – and then to actually do something about it.

Love,

@iamdivinediva1

She got a ring without giving her thing 💍💍💍

@breefree shared her purity testimony on instagram and being a purity ambasaddor, i thought it would be nice to encourage someone. Just so we're clear "everyone is not doing it"! It's possible to have the man of your dreams without sex! As women it's a natural thing for us to want to please our men in every way but is it right? Just because something is easy doesn't mean it's right! We must take a stand & do what's right! If he can't wait for you then HE's not worth it! Know who & whose you are before you allow someone else to define you! Your worth is far above rubies darling! If you know you can't handle being alone after 9, take your cute little self HOME! Why would he buy the car if he can test drive it at will? You're worth waiting for ❤️

  When you know who you are in Christ, settling for an ungodly relationship wouldn't be an option.

Love,

Oye..💗💗
