“Who Am I To Say” – Song To Encourage Single Ladies by Kim Brooks

December 13, 2011 The song, Who Am I To Say, tells the story of a single woman who’s been believing God for a mate for a while and feel God has forgotten about her heart’s desire.  “I really loved the song you sang. The words were phenomenal! I really identified with lyrics,” says Lynn who heard the song’s debut at Kim’s Gospel Speed Dating Event earlier this year.  “Its message is about learning contentment during this season of singleness in one’s life,” says Kim.

7 Ways to Date and Stay Saved on Valentine's Day

It’s Valentine’s Day – the day when most normally celebrate with a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates, topped off by a romantic evening which may ultimately lead to the bedroom if the guy is lucky, right? Or so they say. What’s a Christian couple to do in a culture that promotes promiscuity and the notion that ‘sex sells’ with its many suggestive advertisements and other media?

In other words, how can a Christian couple date and “Stay Saved” on Valentines Day?

I’m glad you asked. In my new book, How to Date and Stay Saved, I answer this question and also explain how to date God’s way and in His proper order and how it is possible for a couple to meet, date, and enjoy a romantic relationship while not having sex until after he ‘put a ring on it’ and marries you.

Below I share 7 ways to date and “stay saved” on Valentine’s Day.

1. Date in Public.
Most people aren’t inclined to ‘get their groove on’ in a public place where the public is watching. Dinner and a movie on Valentine’s Day is nice and also romantic.

2. Date to encourage dialog.
As you date in public, gather information about the person you’re dating. Seek friendship before romance. Constant verbal communication during the date also helps prevent ‘holy hands’ from roaming.

3. Dress modestly.
Valentine’s Day is already set up to be a romantic night on the town, so the flesh is already ready to receive something even before the date begins; ladies, don’t give it any more stimulus such as wearing a low cut blouse exposing the girls or a super tight ‘booty hugging’ skirt. That man is already in a trance about how fine you are so don’t be a stumbling block to him during your date. As much as we love a nice compliment, focus on dressing modestly yet still attractive and stylish.

4. Turn Luther off!
As you and your date converse, there may be music playing in the background, such as during the car ride. Instead of playing “Maxwell” or something else meant to get you ‘in the mood’ instead play gospel music such as gospel jazz or praise and worship. Doing this sets the environment and it keeps your mind focused on above. I have a saying: Music is like a ride, it’s meant to take you someplace, so don’t allow the music you listen to during your date take you somewhere you don’t want to go.

5. View each other as brother and sister during your date.
Would you take your sibling home after a night on the town in order to ‘get it on’ like Marvin Gaye? Remember that you’re brothers and sisters in Christ, first, before you will ever be anyone’s spouse or bedroom partner so treat each other accordingly.

6. No ‘late in the midnight hour’ dating at home.
As tempting as it may seem, and no matter how fine he may look especially after he ‘wines and dines you’ (with sparkling apple juice, of course) on your date topped off with a serenade by the lead singer at the restaurant as your date professes his love for you in front of a bunch of strangers, don’t invite that man inside your home afterwards, and by all means, don’t go to his place. The night has been too perfect and the holiday is already set to be topped off with a roll in the hay. Instead, after you date in public, once he takes you home kindly thank him for a wonderful night and get inside!

7. If you insist on continuing the date after he has dropped you off at home, call or text him.
That way you can still verbally communicate with each other and finish your date, instead of having him come over and you wake up in the morning regretting what went down the night before.

This Christmas. . .

*Call an out of town relative you haven’t spoken to all year and tell him or her, “I love you.”

*Bake cookies with your nieces and nephews and cherish the smiles on their cookie
battered faces.

*Laugh at “Cou’n Pete’s” jokes even though he’s been telling the same ones for the past
eleven years.

*Smile when your great aunt Sally gives you that same type of sweater she gives you every
year, fluffy shingles and all.

This Christmas enjoy time with family, friends and loved ones, and if you find yourself
“boo-less” this year with no special someone in your life, know that you are special to
someone, and His name is Jesus Christ. He loved you so much that He gave His very best to
you and shed His blood for you -- now that’s love, baby, no man can top that!

Join me in celebrating His miraculous birth today as HE IS the real reason for the season!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:  and the government shall be upon his
shoulder:  and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
-Isaiah 9:6

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
