Hello friend! I am so glad you stopped by! This page is an outlet for me to share and encourage other Christian men and women. My focus is on growing in my faith and hopefully helping others to grow in theirs. The main objective of my starting this blog was to encourage single Christian men and women to wait for God’s best, but I definitely will not stop there. My first series is really the heart of what I think God has called me to speak to, and that is “Praying for Boaz.” But first, allow me to introduce myself before we jump into some of my thoughts, discoveries, and observations about what it means to “Pray for Boaz” in today’s society. My name is Rebekah, my friends call me Bekah. I come from a large family with five brothers and one sister, and I am the 2nd oldest. My family has a ranch where we raise reining horses, my sister, my parents, and I compete in the sport of reining. I am very much a homebody, but I still, enjoy going out on occasion. I also enjoy working out, spending time with my friends and family, I LOVE music, and pretty much anything outdoors. Let’s see, what else am I missing? Oh! Right, and I am currently 25 and single. No, this is not an advertisement. 🤣 This is simply a calling that God has had on my heart for years, and with His courage, I am finally following through. The reason I point out my age and relationship status is this: my entire life I have wanted nothing more than to be a wife and a mother. To raise a family God’s way, alongside my godly husband. When I say that this is all I have ever wanted, I mean that has been my deepest heart’s desire for my life since I can remember. I’ve wanted every part of married life for so long. The grocery shopping, the buying/building our house, the home improvement project weekends, the making dinners for my husband, the fighting, the growing together, etc. All of it. Every heartache and milestone I want it all. I thought I would be married by 21, and probably pregnant with my second child by the time I was 25. However, God clearly had a different plan for me, because here I am still single.
Now, before I go on, I want you to understand that this is not a pity party, but this is REAL. I am not going to shy away from how painful God’s plan has been for me. I am going to open up, be vulnerable, and share my stories as well as what God has taught me throughout the years. My goal here is to be able to encourage other women who are walking the same path as me and feeling discouraged. Sister, hear me, you are not alone. In today’s society, I can’t help but feel as if there are many single Christian men and women who feel alone as they wait for God’s best, and discouraged as it takes longer than we think it should. I know I feel hopeless at times when I scroll through my Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok because all I see is not so Christian people acting not so Christ-like. How am I supposed to find a God-fearing man if all the men are too busy watching girls throw it back to be bothered to become men after God’s own heart? And for the guys, how are they supposed to find a Proverbs 31 woman if virtuous women are getting fewer and further between? Well let me tell you, … I don’t have the answers. I’m sorry, I wish I did because sometimes it keeps me up at night. How often have you prayed this prayer, “God, you gave me this desire to be a wife and mother, so why is it that you keep me in this state of singleness without so much of a light at the end of the tunnel?” I know with every year that passes, every birthday I have, every New Year’s countdown I am kiss-less, I pray that prayer more and more often. If you are here for the big secret answer to your singleness that will somehow bring about your knight in shining armor, you won’t find it. Trust me, if that existed I would have found it myself already. But don’t lose hope. I am going to take you alongside me, and we are going to get through this together with God. I will share stories of my past dating failures, as well as learnings that I have stumbled upon through those experiences. God has revealed himself to me in many ways throughout my years of longing, and He has called me to share with you, so that you too may find hope through Him. I pray you stick around here a while and do some reading, some examining of your heart, and some serious talking to the Almighty who loved you first and loves you most; because He is the key to your happily ever after.
