my cup overflows. : Acting my \"wage\" & now teaching my husband to do the same.

I love Dave Ramsey. And as a single mom, I can totally relate to having to follow Dave's rules and still never having much money. I love that you had your boyfriend listen to Ramsey before you got married. If I ever remarry I may have to do the same. :)

Make it Mad : Epilogue

This was great. I have felt alone and I'm thankful that I know now that I'm never alone. But I still struggle with how to help others when it is easier to just not see.

Good Women Project : Christian Dating: Do's And Don'ts

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:00:11 +0000

Great post. I think these are all really good suggestions, but some of them won't work for me. It's hard to put yourself out there and go to parties, etc when you're a single mom. My life is either school, church, or home with my daughter. Also it is very difficult for me not to overanalyze a guy before we've even been on a date. I think I'm worse about this than I used to be because I have my daughter to think about also. I need to remember that a date is just a date though, and not think about it too much in the beginning. Now if I could just figure out where to meet a guy in the first place... haha

Good Women Project : From The Men: To My Future Wife

Thu, 25 Aug 2011 03:38:08 +0000

This reminds me of an elderly man that went to the church I grew up in. I was a teenager at the time, but I still remember him talking about how he liked to go for drives in his truck with his wife in the middle seat next to him, and how he would hold her hand. I see that some of the comments talk about this not being reality, but I don't think there is anything wrong with these things. Yes, there are difficult moments in relationships too, but sometimes people need to go for a drive and hold hands. :)

Good Women Project : Sex, Secrets & Being Sought After

Mon, 11 Jul 2011 04:19:35 +0000

"No one had prepared me for this. I had grown up in a church and knew that rules: no sex before marriage. I am not blaming the church for my ignorance, yet often wonder if further precautions would have aided me at that time."____I know this wasn't the main focus of this post, but this one little paragraph really caught my attention. I grew up knowing I shouldn't have sex before marriage also, but that was it. I was so innocent and naive that when I started dating I didn't know how to choose my dates wisely or what was okay and what wasn't. I know that I want my daughter to be more prepared than I was. I'm not sure how to do that yet, but I have a few years to figure it out...____

Make it Mad : What Men Really Want

Fri, 8 Jul 2011 19:20:25 +0000

This is a wonderful post. I'm so glad Ally Spots recommended reading your blog this week. It's good to know that all men aren't looking the "Hollywood version" of a woman. It's time that women start to value themselves instead of trying to be what they think men want and then wondering later why they don't know who they are anymore.

Good Women Project : I'm In Love With Sex

Thu, 7 Jul 2011 14:54:21 +0000

Great post. As a divorced 30 year old (married at 19, seperated at 25, divorced at 27), I was nodding my head to most of this. Life hasn't gone the way I expected or wanted it to, and I do miss sex - really miss sex, but I'm not going to let that destroy my life or my relationship with Christ.

Okay, if there really was makeup that would flirt FOR me, I might have to get it. I am the worst flirt ever. I think I'm too honest. I can't laugh when the joke wasn't even remotely funny and I'm not very good at giggling and twirling my hair... or whatever you are supposed to do when you flirt. (See, I'm no good at this stuff.)

http://meganswishingwell.blogspot.com/ : Wordful Wednesday: Baptism

Wed, 2 Feb 2011 19:09:13 +0000

I was baptized when I was 15. My church also believes in water baptism and that you should make the decision yourself. When my daughter was born, I dedicated her to God in front of the church, but I will wait until she is old enough to decide for herself (and it would be good for her to not be scared to get her face wet - lol) before she gets baptized.

Stuff Christians Like - Jon Acuff : Loving or hating Glee.

Yeah, the Britney episode was almost too much for me. Ick!

Stuff Christians Like - Jon Acuff : Loving or hating Glee.

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 03:53:16 +0000

I enjoy Glee, but not because I feel like it has Christian undertones or anything. They often go a bit too far, but so does almost everything on tv now. So should I watch it? I don't know... but I do. I'm certainly not obsessed with it like some people are though. (Oh, and for the record, House totally trumps Glee any day.)

Okay, why not? My blog is totally random (and called Random Thoughts). It's honestly just about whatever is on my mind when I happen to write a post. I'm a Christian, a single mom, a college student, and I'm about to hit the big 3-0. My posts are about any of these subjects plus many others. http://jenn3.wordpress.com/
