Tips For Single Women at 40

By -

It can be a tricky road navigating life as a single woman at 40 but by this age, its expectes that you've seen and experienced some things that have made you a bit wiser than you were in your younger years. Here are a few tips to help you:

1. Expect Nothing: When you lower your expectations, you begin to settle for what's available rather than what you deserve. Things such as tall, rich and handsome may not be entirely necessary. A wise woman once said "let life come to you".

2. The ONE is A Myth: This feeling that there's only one soul out there meant for us comes from an idea of scarcity. We tend to overthink, overanalyze and generally drive ourselves crazy trying to figure out if this is the 'ONE'. There is plenty of love available to human beings. Enjoy the ride and know that answers will come to you.

3. Too Grand to Play Small: By this time, you know what you have to offer in a relationship. This is not the time to hide or play small or God-help us, act like a dingbat so they'll think we're cute. Been there, done that...20 years ago.

4. Be Classier Than That: There are only few types of photos that a man whom you're not married to should ever see of you on his phone and none them involve being naked. If you wouldnt want to see it on the bulletin board at your office in the morning, then dont send it to your new man. This is something that people in their 20s and 30s do. It doesnt mean you have to participate, 'cos you're classier than that.

5. Trust your gut: Women are intuitive creatures, but we can easily ignore our own inner voice when our minds start talking too loudly. We know when love is real and when it's not. We know it feels different when it's right. We only ignore that feeling when we don't like the answer. Tune in. Your inner voice- what's on your heart- may get quiet but it never stops talking.

In the words of Maya Angelou 'When you know better, you do better'.

Good Evening ! God has a stimulus package. If you put God first, He will put you first (Matthew 6:33). It is going to cost you everything to the do the things that God has called you to do. If you can bear the weight of your cross, He will bear the weight of your crown (Luke 9:23). Trust Him with your destiny! He has something divine in store for you that is beyond all that you can imagine or think (Ephesians 1:4). There is no plan that you can layout for yourself that surpasses the plans God has for you (Proverbs 3:5-6). God will put you in a situation where your faith is tested. You may only see a glimpse of the situation and wonder why you are there, but you have to give everything to it (Hebrews 11:6). Be humble, and fear the Lord as there is indeed honor and a reward in your reverence for Him (Proverbs 22:4). What have you sought the Lord for in your personal time of prayer and devotion? What is it that He has promised you? Put Him first in all things, and persevere - stay in His

Beware of The Green Eyed Monster

Envy has no place here.         Never before have we had such immediate access into each other’s lives.  While the connections we strengthen through social media are meaningful, there is something to watch out for: envy.  It is said that “Jealousy comes from counting others’ blessings instead of our own.” Many of us feel genuine gratitude as we get to catch up with our friends and family’s pictures, growth and accomplishments on social media, and elsewhere.  But, too often we allow thoughts of comparison and hints of envy to creep in as well. Constant comparison is envy’s gateway.  Have you found yourself looking at someone’s anniversary pictures and wishing your relationship was as solid?  Have you and your wife struggled with infertility only to be saddened by constant pictures of beautiful, thriving babies?  Shakespeare wrote, “Oh beware...of jealousy!  It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock.”  Feelings of jealousy and envy must be healed; they are not worthy of our pea
