This "Dating" Thing

Dear God,

Thank you for waking me up with a spirit of gratitude and excellence. Happy National Love Day. 💕

I’m so happy and grateful I feel special by receiving your everlasting love and grace every single day.

So speaking of single, I’ve really learned to cherish this season of my life. I know I’ve been programmed to connect my definition of success as a woman to being married, but I’m so happy and grateful now that I know better. I truly believe that being a wife and mother is a great honor, but that’s not the end-all-be-all for me. I’m so happy and grateful I’ve had the time to find myself in you first, to fully immerse myself in your love first, to fully indulge in self-love first, before making a lifetime commitment and building a family with someone else.

Leading with the spirit of love vs. the human need of security and acceptance has done me well the past year or so. I used to lead with: Is he the one? Let’s see where we’re at in the next 3 months. When is he going to plan our official first date? Is he as ready as I am? All these questions are valid but not immediately necessary when you are genuinely wanting to get to know someone first.

I’m not actively seeking a man anymore. The more I’ve grown closer to you, the more my skin and spirit has just been glowing. I’ve been attracting more men closer in alignment to where I’m going not just where I’m at. They haven’t led to a committed relationship just yet, but I’m grateful for the journey. The societal pressures of getting married is no longer a “thing” for me. I’m stepping into my personal power in such a way that I can’t jeopardize my peace or the flow of my productivity for just anyone — it just has to naturally makes sense. You taught me a great lesson last time I tried to force something that wasn’t in your plans and I’m forever grateful for your grace and mercy. I really can’t imagine my life without you.

I’ve changed my narrative and language when it comes to this “dating” thing. My worldly view still stands on “it’s ghetto out here,” but my godly view is “what’s for me is for me.” Love is not hard; it’s actually fairly easy. The process of trusting you within it can sometimes be challenging but when I really sit down and think about your track record of always coming through, it’s getting easier and easier.

Life is so simple. Love is so simple. I have everything I need. I’m so happy and grateful my life partner, lover, best friend is preparing for me, for us, and our legacy. I’m so happy and grateful he keeps you centered in his decision making. I’m so happy and grateful I don’t have to over explain myself and we finish each other‘s thoughts and sentences. We both know communication is key. How he communicates with you, himself and others will tell me all I need to know.

I can confidently say, I’m on your timing!

I said last year that I would be a millionaire, married and pregnant by 32, but in the spirit of focusing on what I can control, looks like my first million is the primary focus. Which explains why I woke up at 3 AM so I could have my quiet time with you before hitting these charts.

I have everything I need to become financially independent. I just have to prioritize my education and apply what I learn every single day.

I love you.

I appreciate you.

I trust you.

I could be anywhere else, but I’m here with you.

With Love,

Precious Azurée
