I normally don't comment, but I felt led to from God after listening to you talk about it not being a single season. That is so GOOD! Lately, God has been teaching me that the absence of something is just His opportunity to help me apply characteristics of Him in the areas where I think I lack. Absence of joy, He reminds me that the joy of the Lord is my strength. Absence of faith, I remember that faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. Absence of a man, friend, relationship with family, His grace is sufficient. So, the absence of something/someone is just an opportunity for application. Thank you for this reminder, Jae! 💕
I LOVE your Godly teachings on your channel! The love, faith, and joy you have in the Lord is evident and so inspirational!!! I enjoy your content!!! Keep going, sister!! You will be rewarded with the desires of your heart!!
Now I’m not one who spoke on your previous video and said “just focus on yourself” but usually when I tell other women that it simply means to me to just enjoy the moments and not put too much pressure on your desires for marriage. I feel like the moment I started to enjoy dating and just had fun being single was the moment I found my future husband and we have been inseparable since the day we met. Just remain open and continue to stand on all the things you love (as you already do 💖)
You are right that there is nothing wrong with wanting a partner. I always say that as we are in the waiting season we need to be preparing for the blessings that God has for us. You are also human too, so it’s ok to share how you are feeling
Felt this!❤ Waiting is very hard no matter what people say, and I feel you.. We (as singles) def get tired of hearing people say the same cliche things esp when they’re already married/dating etc. We are enjoying being single, we are traveling, working staying busy etc we just get tired of hearing people tell us what we should be doing or should be focused on while being single when we are already doing those things.. it’s just a desire we are patiently waiting on God for and we are just being honest and vulnerable and expressing it out loud and it’s nothing wrong with that! We appreciate the encouragement but sometimes we just want to vent and let it all out and seasons do change and we know that, but it’s good to speak on this topic because so many single women feel the same way and just need a community of kingdom minded believers to talk to and express the way we feel. ❤
Jae ! I just want to say thank you. Thank you for your obedience and having this channel. Many times you say the things God has placed on my heart and he’s used you to confirm what he’s told me. The Lord is raising up his daughters and without suffering sometimes we just won’t learn. He’s been teaching me every single thing you’ve been speaking about between last year and this year. Even in the suffering he’s such a kind God that he saw it fit to teach and prepare us. I’m never one to comment but I’d really love as well if some people would stop telling women to “focus on yourself “ especially when it pertains to marriage. We all understand the concept. However, for some of us late 20s and 30+ year old who have been patiently waiting for God, we’ve already been been working, traveling, getting our education, making amazing friendships, starting businesses and growing with our father, Jesus. “Focusing on ourselves “ is a very selfish thing to do and Marriage is selfless sooo maybe yall can use another phrase 😆. God abundantly bless you Jae ! I hope to meet you one day! Your desires are on its way.
Please continue to do bible studies on your page! The last bible study video was everythinnnngggg. It was so real, relatable, and just honest. I love that when you speak about it the Lord you make it so casual and genuine. We are all dealing with something and you navigating through scripture to work through your dealings truly helps the rest of us to do the same. Thank you, Jaelan 🤎
Jaylen, I respect your journey. I’m convinced that the desire of your heart for marriage and to do it God‘s way will be honored. Thank you for being transparent about the ups and downs of that journey for those that need it, but also never forget how much people project their own experiences onto you, but I think you’re doing a great job at chewing the hay and spitting off the sticks as they say🫶🏾
When I say the last portion of the vlog spoke to me, whew 🙂↕️ I have been feeling as though I do not deserve the relationship that I want because of my past and the choices I have made. I have closed myself off to any form of romantic relationship because of the doubt and fear. I really need to pray about a lot of things and open the line of communication with God. Thanks for the word❤
Jaylen, I don't want to speak for everyone, but I see your heart and the way that even though it's a little uncomfortable for you to share certain aspects of your desires or even your conversations with the Lord, it shows that you are committed to your faith. I am so inspired by that. People are going to talk, and let them. As you continue to allow the Lord to build you up "spiritually," your heart will see others the way that God sees you. Sometimes things just don't need to be explained; some things will fall on deaf ears, not because what you are saying isn't valid, but simply because that person isn't in a space to receive it, and that's okay. Thank you for your transparency and for being a "light" in a world that can seem so dark at times. 🫶🏾🫂🙏🏾 #FavoriteChannel #SuperSupporter
You are on the right track Jaelan. I’ve been where you are so I understand how you may feel. I prayed specifically to be content with my life as a single person, but be prepared and open to the right person to come into my life. I was 26 when I prayed that. I met my now husband when I turned 31. And like you said, it was no games, he was very intentional in his pursuit of me. We were married two years later. So you will have moments when you’re like when is it going to happen. But it’s just a moment and it will pass.
I'm 32 and have been single for 3 years. I know exactly what you mean Jaelen...thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. It helps to know I'm not the only one
Now I’m mostly a silent watcher, but I do comment here and there. I wanted to comment to uplift, encourage, and thank you. I’m very thankful you opened up to us and shared about being single because, as a single myself, I’ve dealt with the frustrations, the whys, and the how comes. What you’ve done through your vulnerability and giving what God has given you has shown me a different perspective on why God has me where I am. Which (coming from the Bible Study vlog) is that God has not put me in a place where marriage/relationships are all around me to taunt me but to show me that this is possible for me. And then with this vlog you reminded me of the fact that God is growing me in areas that need growth, whether that is preparation for a relationship or just for me as a woman, as His daughter, and I’m just really grateful for that. So please, however you feel comfortable or led moving forward to share with us, please do so because it is really helpful, eye-opening, and encouraging. Love you, Jaelan girl 🙏🏾🩷🤭☺️!!!
I think when some comments/people have suggested that you focus on yourself- they weren't necessarily saying that you're not focused on YOU or not doing other things etc - but I think they relate it to the fact that not just in the previous vlog, but over the last few vlogs you've HEAVILY talked about wanting a partner & singleness & being in a mood about it SO much that it seems that it's a major part of your focus right now. They probably are coming from a place of concern, just simply telling you to relax & continue doing you until God sends that person. I hope that makes sense.
@@JRD72 I agree- these convos need to be had most definitely. I'm just speaking to the fact that IF someone told her to focus on herself, they were more than likely concerned that she's worried about it and was just trying to encourage or comfort. She's been discussing this REPEATEDLY for awhile now, so it's obvious that she's concerned or stress about it.
You are encouraging an entire community of women and men who are in their waiting phase when it comes to partnership and holy matrimony. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and your real life experiences to the world. Stay encouraged🙏🏿God will bless you with an amazing husband at the perfect time! ❤
Thank you, Jae! You truly ARE speaking to (and for) a whole community. Those that know....know. Waiting isn't always easy. You're still walking it out (by faith), and others (like myself) are being encouraged to do the same. ❤
J, LET THIS BE CONFIRMATION THAT YOU ARE DOING GODS WORK WHEN YOU SHARE YOUR STORY. I literally just spoke about similar frustrations and struggles with my faith and to hear this and KNOW I’m not his only daughter with the same experience , is a blessing ❤
I just have to tell you that I found your page through Sunny, I love your friendship and I absolutely love everything about you and what you share. There is a warm, inviting presence you bring that for some reason or another has made me feel emotional at times.I love how you talk about God as it resonates so much with the way I talk to God in my head every morning too. Everyone who is in your life right now is so blessed to have you and so are the friends, partners, and children on their way in to join you. I wish you nothing but health, wealth, success and happiness. Sending lots of love from Toronto
My God! Thank you Holy Spirit for confirmation! My mom had a a shirt today that had Romans 1:17 on it. I pulled up my Bible app to read the scripture talking about having faith in God. Then I noticed this scripture at beginning of your video. Then you’re talking about the book of James!! I was reading the book of James all day yesterday and today! James 1:2-8. I have been asking God to speak to me! Show me what to do! Trust me and have faith in me is all I kept seeing and hearing! God is faithful! Keep sharing God’s word with us sis! 😭🙏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾💚 God bless you Jae!
Jaelan!!! Now I have NEVER commented on a RUclips video but listen!!! When you said you almost threw the phone, I almost threw the TV!! You just dropped a word for all your subscribers! “I had to grow your faith somehow…” ❤❤❤ God is using you in a MAJOR way and the blessings are about to be insane! Keep being vulnerable and speaking your truth. If no one else gets it, God does (and me too girl)!! ❤
I went to five guys once and NEVER returned. I genuinely thought they accidentally spilled the seasoning on my fries. I guess that’s just what they do . 🫠 I feeeeel you on the entire “single season” season. I’m grateful you’re documenting it we need to hear this too!! Nothing irritates me more than a “focus on yourself” person. SAVE IT. Those are the people I DON’T want advise from.
You really delivered a WORD! "I had to grow your faith somehow." That hit deep! Thank you for being so open-it’s reassuring to know we’re not alone in our struggles. Your message brought to mind 1 Peter 5:9: “Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
I stopped what I was doing just to comment this one comment. You hit that run!!!! Ahhh, from a singer to you, i appreciate how effortless, anointed, and buttery that riff was. Back to the vlog...
Thank you! I’m pretty private myself and I don’t share certain parts of my life with everyone. Especially dating. But thank you for sharing that because I needed to hear that! ❤
Jae, this nugget was fire. Keep praising God. Never give up on your dreams and desires that are of God. You're closer than you know. God hears you. As you know, he's an on time God. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep using that voice. What's for you is for you. Love Bible study. Feeling good, looking good, I am good. Period.
Thank you for helping us get closer to God. Even in a relationship, to make it holy and in line with what God wants for us. Sis you’re a blessing and there’s nothing wrong with being clear and specific while praying.❤
You can focus on yourself and do ALL the things and live a full life, AND still want your man! 😅 I heard you loud and clear😂. Keep your faith. God is always faithful… love you and your content 💕
At this point we need a fashion wardrobe, putting outfits together type video bc you been eating us up lately 🤌🏾 This burgundy button up, yellow shades, w/the braids and hat… simple yet 😮💨
Jae I am so glad that you are being transparent. I too am looking deeper into myself and paying close attention to what God is speaking to me about. I truly believe that I have to get better with self-discipline when it relates to finances. I say that because I can't be requiring certain things from a man of God and I ain't even disciplined in it. God will bring that man of god when I am completely surrendering my finances to God. What is it that you are still controlling and not truly surrendering to God? Talk to God and see what He says. Have a beautiful day Jae. God Bless.
Thank you for sharing all of this, I agree 100% “you got to wait on that joint” & don’t fold. The Lord will take care of everything, I appreciate you being open and your vulnerability.
17:40 It’s so incredible how we are the same journey/lessen the load is teaching us pretty much going to the Feelings and thought processes that you have expressed now earlier scenes and I also got the same response from the Lord where He is teaching me how to trust Him and throw in my faith in Him. It is exasperating but I am so grateful still uses me and my moulds me. Thank you for sharing this I believe the Lord lead me to come and watch this so that you can remind him that he is still with you and wants only what is best for me.
We are in the same season! Whew.. it is hard and I’m happy to see someone else is not necessarily pondering on marriage but realizing how you want that desire! Realizing waiting season is hard but produces so much fruit!
I have the same sentiments when I talk to my friends about very personal things and their response can come off a little shady or the "focus on yourself" comments... I've learned just to keep somethings to myself and talk to God about the small and big things I'm currently experiencing right now.
Thank you for sharing! I’m in the same place as you except I’m divorced. I’ve gotten to a place where I’m not going to let my past experiences affect the future but I see what’s left out here and then I go back into a hole and tell God nevermind 😂. I left the church home that I had when I was married and I’m now apart of an amazing church home that has helped me grow in so many different ways. I’m definitely not on the same spiritual level as you but I’m enjoying the journey.
Don't focus too hard on the comments made about your life. God gave you His answer. That's the only comment that matters. I think people have default responses to things and they don't have substance. It's just a rhythm for some. Your journey has been uniquely beautiful and unapologetically transparent. You are and will be blessed. I have had a desire to be in a devoted relationship that evolves into a relationship for do many years. I was ready when they were NOT and I need to do work on me so that I present my best self to him when I meet him. I believe God is preparing us for each other for the greatest reward of sharing life together.
You and Sunny both doing the “ewww” at the same time 😂 Thank you for how vulnerable you’ve been with your singleness! I just posted a TikTok because I personally get caught up in fantasizing over people and making them my man when they haven’t shown an ounce that this is the case. I go back and forth with wanting to be in a relationship but I think I just want to be needed which isn’t healthy. But absolutely it’s not a season, God has called me to be single for however long! You should start a single people group! Also, I can’t stand when people just shrug it and say “don’t focus on a relationship, worry about yourself” we are human and have desires like anyone. You can talk about singleness and dating as much as you want, it’s something God placed in you and even if you’re living your life to the fullest, wanting relationship is also apart of life.
It’s ok to want marriage. People who are married and with children seem to forget what it was like when they didn’t have that. They are living in the blessings of their heart desires and not praying for those to experience similar blessings the same way they wanted prayer when they weren’t married and wanted marriage. Do unto Others as you would like it done to you.
Being Single is OK believe me. Love Yourself because You will quickly find that you are taking care of everyone but You and time for you you have to plan accordingly because of Everyone else that you will be taking care of. It can be frustrating at times so. Be Blessed and not Stressed God will send You Your Family in due time and I’m not saying this making it sound like You are looking for someone no I’m saying this because of my experience I was not looking for someone I was loving me having fun and there he was and we have been together since 46 years so I just wanted you to take your time God will send Him. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 You are doing Good ❤
Grow your faith?? Girlllll!! I literally said “When God gives you a promise, he immediately reveals what’s in our hearts.” I had a great job. God told me to quit in August. Did that. End of September gets here, I’m panicking….when I say mental breakdown on my way to go get some boxes. I prayed the longest prayer I ever prayed over my finances, mind you this job was paying me the most I ever made so I didn’t “have to trust God like that for finances in a while.” (The humbling was approaching) Prayed the prayer, the NEXT DAY $1,600 shows up on a card I never even thought to use. Instantly left me speechless!! I’m currently in this same situation again and im CHOOSING to have faith. If he did it once, he’ll do it again. But now this time, I HAVE EVIDENCE! Sometimes God has to get us to a breaking point to show us how powerful he is and to prove to us that he will ALWAYS be our provider no matter what season we are in. ❤️
I was just going to say I ❤ reading your comments because I’m 2 months single from an 8 year relationship. So the comments make me be in my prayer room in my intimate time with the Lord, like whaaaaa lol 😆
I hope this helps with your struggle to believe if you deserve the relationship you desire. If it pleased God to give you the ultimate gift of salvation that you did not deserve, surely giving you a beautiful, holy marriage doesn’t even compare. And speaking from experience, you’ll quickly realize once you’re in a holy marriage - it’s more than what you deserve. A holy marriage is so beautiful and such a reflection of Christ’s relationship with the church that I’ve come to realize He’s given more than what I could ask or think. & I also want to add if God has given you that heart desire - hone in even more on it. Focusing on a desire God has given us doesn’t have to become an idol - especially if we’re praying for Him to guard our hearts. It could be a way of just telling God, “I’m focused on what You’re focused on. I’m making my heart’s desire, Your desire.”
I will say when it’s your time it will be your time and you will know it!!! When God sent my husband I wasn’t even looking 😊 but I’ve been married for 10 years and I truly love ❤️ this man!!!! So enjoy your time of getting to know yourself.
Hey love! We love you here. I’ve been watching your content before I got married, and I love that you’re being real about what’s on your heart. We need more of you! “Real!”✨ Something I want to encourage in is, death and life are in the power of the tongue. I use to say I’m gonna be the rich auntie. But God made me see that I was saying that because I was shying away what I actually wanted Him to do in my life. “He said come boldly before the throne of grace.” So even in our conversations unknowingly sometimes we speak to what activates in our lives. So if you know what you want from God speak it as if it has already happened. Hope I’m making sense. Love you so much!🧡
I call it LABOR PAINS in the spirit. The Holy Spirit is birthing up something in you! "A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child has been born into the world". John 16:21. So beautiful in connection with Sarah’s testimony. I believe you are getting ready to give birth to a promise Jaelan! ❤️
He will come sis, your man will find you! And God will present him to you when God is ready. That's it, that's all. Everything else will have you wrecking your brain. Honor your feelings always and God will come through for you.
Listen, I know no one asked little of me anything butttt. The lord and his works are shinning through you. Love the vulnerability Jae, on my soap box. You should do a PODCAST I’m sure you’ve thought about it. I think you are so anointed and you have so much of the lord to share especially to nonbelievers you are relatable and the things you share are so important. Just saying. ☺️
Hey babes, I am so proud of you for how vulnerable you have been and continue to be. As a women who have been married for 7 years with Children., I want to say I commend you for having a desire for a holy marriage. I also wanted to encourage you to make sure not to idolize marriage. There is a difference between desiring marriage and idolizing marriage. I would advise you to stop thinking about marriage completely and just get closer to God in a deeper level. When I met my husband eight years ago, I was not even in the season or looking for a relationship. I was just lost in my relationship with God. When we idolize marriage, we makes the process longer because God is not going to give you anything that you put above him. I love you have a healthy desire for marriage, be careful not to idolize it. Love your contents❤
I concur, I experienced something similar. I wanted a third child so bad. I knew when my second child was 2 I wanted another little boy (1 girl , 2 boys). I knew the time wasn't right because one i wasn't married and two I was in college and working full time. So when the time came I got married and I was so ready like okay we had the first two kids together now we're married let's do this right this time and actually try for a baby. I had to learn that I was idolizing this idea of another child. I had to give it to God and He said don't look to the right or to left but look up to me. So that's what I did, i stopped tracking my ovulation I read a book on waiting by Charles Stanley and when the time was right it happened. God blessed us with another boy, it's a large age gap between our first two and the baby but God knew what was best. Sorry for the long comment.
@ first of congratulations. That was so wise for you to even self reflect and recognize it. I am so happy for you and I hope many women gets to read this and be encouraged by it.
It’s the take every thought captive for me the children of God get hit in the mind something serious not saying that people that are not in Christ don’t battle the negativity of thoughts they do and theirs hit even harder because we depend on Christ for that peace and fullness it’s just different now that I look back when I wasn’t in Christ or a true believer ❤❤❤
Beautiful woman of God, I love your videos and the messages that you share on your platform. As a woman of God myself who has been married and experienced rejection in that marriage. Continue to focus on your relationship with the Lord and just remain in agreement with Him and know that His plans for your life are perfect and will show up right in His timing for your life. I am now in a place where I am truly full of joy with ABBA FATHER alone right now. I have been learning to be content in whatever state, place and season I am in. All I desire presently is to be right in the middle of the Father's will for my life right now. So don't be sad that what you thought should be in your life right now hasn't come to pass. It will!!! Continue to worship and praise the Lord and keep doing that while you are in your waiting period. God is a God of His word. If He spoke it to you it will surely come to pass in Yeshua's name. Mt. 6:33 says, Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and these things will be added to you. As I believe you already know. It will be added to your life sis. Blessings and God's Love! ♥💕🙏
lol and His righteousness these things, (a family, a godly marriage and a wholesome relationship) that is ordained by Him, will be added to you. Just hold fast to your confession of faith. God is with you and for you sweet girl. He truly loves you dearly. I get joy out of watching your videos. Blessings!
I always say words written can be interpreted in many ways so it’s important to be clear what you want to get across. I’m hoping the comments are with good intentions for you.
I love this God knows what we need I'm 45 single no children I wanted kids if I had a godly man a good solid foundation never found that but I've made peace with being single and childless it doesn't bring me pain or sadness because it wasn't a big desire of mines either but if it happened I would love it embrace it God will always give us what we need and desire😊❤
Hi, my testimony is that I learned about my singleness in 1 Corinthians and 2Corinthians. I read through out each book. I hope these books in the Bible are a benefit to you.
I normally don't comment, but I felt led to from God after listening to you talk about it not being a single season. That is so GOOD! Lately, God has been teaching me that the absence of something is just His opportunity to help me apply characteristics of Him in the areas where I think I lack. Absence of joy, He reminds me that the joy of the Lord is my strength. Absence of faith, I remember that faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. Absence of a man, friend, relationship with family, His grace is sufficient. So, the absence of something/someone is just an opportunity for application. Thank you for this reminder, Jae! 💕
I love this
That is soooo good! I need to remind myself of this
Amen 🙏

So are you actually saying “enjoy dating” ? Because that doesn’t sound like “focus on yourself”
@ both, focus on yourself and the things that make you happy, if you enjoy trying new places to eat then you can do that AND date for example
You are right that there is nothing wrong with wanting a partner. I always say that as we are in the waiting season we need to be preparing for the blessings that God has for us. You are also human too, so it’s ok to share how you are feeling

YES!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
I think when some comments/people have suggested that you focus on yourself- they weren't necessarily saying that you're not focused on YOU or not doing other things etc - but I think they relate it to the fact that not just in the previous vlog, but over the last few vlogs you've HEAVILY talked about wanting a partner & singleness & being in a mood about it SO much that it seems that it's a major part of your focus right now. They probably are coming from a place of concern, just simply telling you to relax & continue doing you until God sends that person. I hope that makes sense.
But these conversations need to happen …women need to know that we aren’t alone in having these thoughts …
@@JRD72 I agree- these convos need to be had most definitely. I'm just speaking to the fact that IF someone told her to focus on herself, they were more than likely concerned that she's worried about it and was just trying to encourage or comfort. She's been discussing this REPEATEDLY for awhile now, so it's obvious that she's concerned or stress about it.
You are encouraging an entire community of women and men who are in their waiting phase when it comes to partnership and holy matrimony. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and your real life experiences to the world. Stay encouraged🙏🏿God will bless you with an amazing husband at the perfect time! ❤
Your light is what this world needs for young women like me. Thank you so much for your obedience. ❤

Thank you, Jae! You truly ARE speaking to (and for) a whole community. Those that know....know. Waiting isn't always easy. You're still walking it out (by faith), and others (like myself) are being encouraged to do the same. ❤
J, LET THIS BE CONFIRMATION THAT YOU ARE DOING GODS WORK WHEN YOU SHARE YOUR STORY. I literally just spoke about similar frustrations and struggles with my faith and to hear this and KNOW I’m not his only daughter with the same experience , is a blessing ❤
I just have to tell you that I found your page through Sunny, I love your friendship and I absolutely love everything about you and what you share. There is a warm, inviting presence you bring that for some reason or another has made me feel emotional at times.I love how you talk about God as it resonates so much with the way I talk to God in my head every morning too. Everyone who is in your life right now is so blessed to have you and so are the friends, partners, and children on their way in to join you. I wish you nothing but health, wealth, success and happiness. Sending lots of love from Toronto
My God! Thank you Holy Spirit for confirmation! My mom had a a shirt today that had Romans 1:17 on it. I pulled up my Bible app to read the scripture talking about having faith in God. Then I noticed this scripture at beginning of your video. Then you’re talking about the book of James!! I was reading the book of James all day yesterday and today! James 1:2-8. I have been asking God to speak to me! Show me what to do! Trust me and have faith in me is all I kept seeing and hearing! God is faithful! Keep sharing God’s word with us sis! 😭🙏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾💚 God bless you Jae!
Jaelan!!! Now I have NEVER commented on a RUclips video but listen!!! When you said you almost threw the phone, I almost threw the TV!! You just dropped a word for all your subscribers!
“I had to grow your faith somehow…” ❤❤❤
God is using you in a MAJOR way and the blessings are about to be insane! Keep being vulnerable and speaking your truth. If no one else gets it, God does (and me too girl)!! ❤
I went to five guys once and NEVER returned. I genuinely thought they accidentally spilled the seasoning on my fries. I guess that’s just what they do . 🫠
I feeeeel you on the entire “single season” season. I’m grateful you’re documenting it we need to hear this too!!
Nothing irritates me more than a “focus on yourself” person. SAVE IT. Those are the people I DON’T want advise from.
You really delivered a WORD! "I had to grow your faith somehow." That hit deep! Thank you for being so open-it’s reassuring to know we’re not alone in our struggles. Your message brought to mind 1 Peter 5:9: “Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
I stopped what I was doing just to comment this one comment.
You hit that run!!!! Ahhh, from a singer to you, i appreciate how effortless, anointed, and buttery that riff was.
Back to the vlog...
We missed you ❤ I’m glad you took time for you . We’ll be here when your ready ☺️
I've never clicked on video so fast! 💕
Been waiting for an upload!
Thank you! I’m pretty private myself and I don’t share certain parts of my life with everyone. Especially dating. But thank you for sharing that because I needed to hear that! ❤
We love you Jae❤
Be encouraged!
We love a good morning vlog. So glad you uploaded cause I was hoping you would soon. Definitely missed your vlogs ❤️
Jae, this nugget was fire. Keep praising God. Never give up on your dreams and desires that are of God. You're closer than you know. God hears you. As you know, he's an on time God. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep using that voice. What's for you is for you. Love Bible study. Feeling good, looking good, I am good. Period.
"I had to grow your faith somehow"... Jesus that hit my soul... WOW only of you knew....
Thank you for your transparency. Needed this ❤
Thank you for helping us get closer to God. Even in a relationship, to make it holy and in line with what God wants for us. Sis you’re a blessing and there’s nothing wrong with being clear and specific while praying.❤
You can focus on yourself and do ALL the things and live a full life, AND still want your man! 😅 I heard you loud and clear😂. Keep your faith. God is always faithful… love you and your content 💕
Which is right Jae!!!!!! NO CONFUSION 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
At this point we need a fashion wardrobe, putting outfits together type video bc you been eating us up lately 🤌🏾
This burgundy button up, yellow shades, w/the braids and hat… simple yet 😮💨
Jae I am so glad that you are being transparent. I too am looking deeper into myself and paying close attention to what God is speaking to me about. I truly believe that I have to get better with self-discipline when it relates to finances. I say that because I can't be requiring certain things from a man of God and I ain't even disciplined in it. God will bring that man of god when I am completely surrendering my finances to God. What is it that you are still controlling and not truly surrendering to God? Talk to God and see what He says. Have a beautiful day Jae. God Bless.
Currently watching at work
Same
Wow we missed you Jae 😭🩷 Thank you as always for being honest and open with us! We’re all in this together
Hey Jae ❤😊
Missed your vlogs so much... Thanks for blessing us once again❤
Thank you for sharing all of this, I agree 100% “you got to wait on that joint” & don’t fold. The Lord will take care of everything, I appreciate you being open and your vulnerability.
I’m so thankful for your content. Thank you for sharing great content centered around the Lord first
😊she blessed us with the vocals again❤❤❤ yesssssss
He is Holy❤❤❤ thanks for sharing your heart with us! Love your vlogs.
Thank you for your transparency. You are helping me to come out
17:40 It’s so incredible how we are the same journey/lessen the load is teaching us pretty much going to the Feelings and thought processes that you have expressed now earlier scenes and I also got the same response from the Lord where He is teaching me how to trust Him and throw in my faith in Him. It is exasperating but I am so grateful still uses me and my moulds me. Thank you for sharing this I believe the Lord lead me to come and watch this so that you can remind him that he is still with you and wants only what is best for me.
I felt that “I count it all joy”!
The discussion I didn’t know I needed
We are in the same season! Whew.. it is hard and I’m happy to see someone else is not necessarily pondering on marriage but realizing how you want that desire! Realizing waiting season is hard but produces so much fruit!
That’s a word. About season vs journey.
The green and denim dresses 😍😍😍 running to my Walmart
Some times we forget we gotta slow down all the way down and take our time with everything
I have the same sentiments when I talk to my friends about very personal things and their response can come off a little shady or the "focus on yourself" comments... I've learned just to keep somethings to myself and talk to God about the small and big things I'm currently experiencing right now.
Thank you for sharing! I’m in the same place as you except I’m divorced. I’ve gotten to a place where I’m not going to let my past experiences affect the future but I see what’s left out here and then I go back into a hole and tell God nevermind 😂. I left the church home that I had when I was married and I’m now apart of an amazing church home that has helped me grow in so many different ways. I’m definitely not on the same spiritual level as you but I’m enjoying the journey.
Good morning Jae!! Cmonnnn with the growing of your FAITH!! I live for it!! God’s development in you will be mind blowing!! Stay encouraged Hunnie. ❤
You are doing a wonderful job, your videos are great! I appreciate you sharing the word of God and your testimonies.😊
Don't focus too hard on the comments made about your life. God gave you His answer. That's the only comment that matters. I think people have default responses to things and they don't have substance. It's just a rhythm for some. Your journey has been uniquely beautiful and unapologetically transparent. You are and will be blessed. I have had a desire to be in a devoted relationship that evolves into a relationship for do many years. I was ready when they were NOT and I need to do work on me so that I present my best self to him when I meet him. I believe God is preparing us for each other for the greatest reward of sharing life together.
Whoever you get into a relationship with is gonna be so lucky! You’re an amazing and beautiful woman and God will put the right one in your life ❤️🙏🏽
i’m NOT trying to create more work for you.. but ID LOVE a faith based podcast by you omg but for now i love the little sessions within the vlogs ❤❤
Wow👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 what an episode 😮💨 I truly loved it so much. So insightful 👏🏾Now lemme back track and watch the previous one
You and Sunny both doing the “ewww” at the same time 😂
Thank you for how vulnerable you’ve been with your singleness! I just posted a TikTok because I personally get caught up in fantasizing over people and making them my man when they haven’t shown an ounce that this is the case. I go back and forth with wanting to be in a relationship but I think I just want to be needed which isn’t healthy. But absolutely it’s not a season, God has called me to be single for however long! You should start a single people group!
Also, I can’t stand when people just shrug it and say “don’t focus on a relationship, worry about yourself” we are human and have desires like anyone. You can talk about singleness and dating as much as you want, it’s something God placed in you and even if you’re living your life to the fullest, wanting relationship is also apart of life.
Love the second look with the hat
Whew I was waiting! 👏🏾 Love your content
love a old head lol “yall lookin fabulous nah!!” 😂❤
Commmmme on with word J💕🙏🏽🗣️
It’s ok to want marriage. People who are married and with children seem to forget what it was like when they didn’t have that. They are living in the blessings of their heart desires and not praying for those to experience similar blessings the same way they wanted prayer when they weren’t married and wanted marriage. Do unto
Others as you would like it done to you.
Missed you girl!
James 1:13 1Corinthians 10:13 Joshua 1:6-9
Good morning Jae! Missed you girly 💚
Being Single is OK believe me. Love Yourself because You will quickly find that you are taking care of everyone but You and time for you you have to plan accordingly because of Everyone else that you will be taking care of. It can be frustrating at times so. Be Blessed and not Stressed God will send You Your Family in due time and I’m not saying this making it sound like You are looking for someone no I’m saying this because of my experience I was not looking for someone I was loving me having fun and there he was and we have been together since 46 years so I just wanted you to take your time God will send Him. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 You are doing Good ❤
21:27 I feel you.
Grow your faith?? Girlllll!! I literally said “When God gives you a promise, he immediately reveals what’s in our hearts.”
I had a great job. God told me to quit in August. Did that. End of September gets here, I’m panicking….when I say mental breakdown on my way to go get some boxes. I prayed the longest prayer I ever prayed over my finances, mind you this job was paying me the most I ever made so I didn’t “have to trust God like that for finances in a while.” (The humbling was approaching)
Prayed the prayer, the NEXT DAY $1,600 shows up on a card I never even thought to use. Instantly left me speechless!! I’m currently in this same situation again and im CHOOSING to have faith. If he did it once, he’ll do it again. But now this time, I HAVE EVIDENCE! Sometimes God has to get us to a breaking point to show us how powerful he is and to prove to us that he will ALWAYS be our provider no matter what season we are in. ❤️
I was just going to say I ❤ reading your comments because I’m 2 months single from an 8 year relationship. So the comments make me be in my prayer room in my intimate time with the Lord, like whaaaaa lol 😆
I hope this helps with your struggle to believe if you deserve the relationship you desire. If it pleased God to give you the ultimate gift of salvation that you did not deserve, surely giving you a beautiful, holy marriage doesn’t even compare. And speaking from experience, you’ll quickly realize once you’re in a holy marriage - it’s more than what you deserve. A holy marriage is so beautiful and such a reflection of Christ’s relationship with the church that I’ve come to realize He’s given more than what I could ask or think.
& I also want to add if God has given you that heart desire - hone in even more on it. Focusing on a desire God has given us doesn’t have to become an idol - especially if we’re praying for Him to guard our hearts. It could be a way of just telling God, “I’m focused on what You’re focused on. I’m making my heart’s desire, Your desire.”
I will say when it’s your time it will be your time and you will know it!!! When God sent my husband I wasn’t even looking 😊 but I’ve been married for 10 years and I truly love ❤️ this man!!!! So enjoy your time of getting to know yourself.
A WORD!
Good Morning Jay!❤
Hey love! We love you here.
I’ve been watching your content before I got married, and I love that you’re being real about what’s on your heart. We need more of you! “Real!”✨
Something I want to encourage in is, death and life are in the power of the tongue. I use to say I’m gonna be the rich auntie. But God made me see that I was saying that because I was shying away what I actually wanted Him to do in my life. “He said come boldly before the throne of grace.” So even in our conversations unknowingly sometimes we speak to what activates in our lives. So if you know what you want from God speak it as if it has already happened. Hope I’m making sense. Love you so much!🧡
6:19 this hat is fire !!!!!🔥
I was missing you my girl!
Good morning gworl!! 🤍
I call it LABOR PAINS in the spirit. The Holy Spirit is birthing up something in you! "A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child has been born into the world". John 16:21. So beautiful in connection with Sarah’s testimony. I believe you are getting ready to give birth to a promise Jaelan! ❤️
He will come sis, your man will find you! And God will present him to you when God is ready. That's it, that's all. Everything else will have you wrecking your brain. Honor your feelings always and God will come through for you.
@@NakiaPleasant amen!
Listen, I know no one asked little of me anything butttt. The lord and his works are shinning through you. Love the vulnerability Jae, on my soap box. You should do a PODCAST I’m sure you’ve thought about it. I think you are so anointed and you have so much of the lord to share especially to nonbelievers you are relatable and the things you share are so important. Just saying. ☺️
Wow!!!!!!! I could relate so much
Hey babes, I am so proud of you for how vulnerable you have been and continue to be. As a women who have been married for 7 years with Children., I want to say I commend you for having a desire for a holy marriage. I also wanted to encourage you to make sure not to idolize marriage. There is a difference between desiring marriage and idolizing marriage. I would advise you to stop thinking about marriage completely and just get closer to God in a deeper level. When I met my husband eight years ago, I was not even in the season or looking for a relationship. I was just lost in my relationship with God. When we idolize marriage, we makes the process longer because God is not going to give you anything that you put above him. I love you have a healthy desire for marriage, be careful not to idolize it. Love your contents❤
Cmon! This right here is a WORD! 🙌🏾
I concur, I experienced something similar. I wanted a third child so bad. I knew when my second child was 2 I wanted another little boy (1 girl , 2 boys). I knew the time wasn't right because one i wasn't married and two I was in college and working full time. So when the time came I got married and I was so ready like okay we had the first two kids together now we're married let's do this right this time and actually try for a baby. I had to learn that I was idolizing this idea of another child. I had to give it to God and He said don't look to the right or to left but look up to me. So that's what I did, i stopped tracking my ovulation I read a book on waiting by Charles Stanley and when the time was right it happened. God blessed us with another boy, it's a large age gap between our first two and the baby but God knew what was best. Sorry for the long comment.
@ first of congratulations. That was so wise for you to even self reflect and recognize it. I am so happy for you and I hope many women gets to read this and be encouraged by it.
It’s the take every thought captive for me the children of God get hit in the mind something serious not saying that people that are not in Christ don’t battle the negativity of thoughts they do and theirs hit even harder because we depend on Christ for that peace and fullness it’s just different now that I look back when I wasn’t in Christ or a true believer ❤❤❤
Good morning faceovermatter. Not you dropping a vid in the morning, lol. Well, I am here for it.
Beautiful woman of God, I love your videos and the messages that you share on your platform. As a woman of God myself who has been married and experienced rejection in that marriage. Continue to focus on your relationship with the Lord and just remain in agreement with Him and know that His plans for your life are perfect and will show up right in His timing for your life. I am now in a place where I am truly full of joy with ABBA FATHER alone right now. I have been learning to be content in whatever state, place and season I am in. All I desire presently is to be right in the middle of the Father's will for my life right now. So don't be sad that what you thought should be in your life right now hasn't come to pass. It will!!! Continue to worship and praise the Lord and keep doing that while you are in your waiting period. God is a God of His word. If He spoke it to you it will surely come to pass in Yeshua's name. Mt. 6:33 says, Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and these things will be added to you. As I believe you already know. It will be added to your life sis. Blessings and God's Love! ♥💕🙏
lol and His righteousness these things, (a family, a godly marriage and a wholesome relationship) that is ordained by Him, will be added to you. Just hold fast to your confession of faith. God is with you and for you sweet girl. He truly loves you dearly. I get joy out of watching your videos. Blessings!
I always say words written can be interpreted in many ways so it’s important to be clear what you want to get across. I’m hoping the comments are with good intentions for you.
thank you for your authenticity. keep going deeper with the Lord however He leads you bcuz all His Promises are Yes and Amen in Christ Jesus. Be well!
God knows your heart ❤ he may not come when you want him but he’s always right on time Amen Amen AMEN
I was waiting on you guhhh lol
I love this God knows what we need I'm 45 single no children I wanted kids if I had a godly man a good solid foundation never found that but I've made peace with being single and childless it doesn't bring me pain or sadness because it wasn't a big desire of mines either but if it happened I would love it embrace it God will always give us what we need and desire😊❤
Hey Jae do you leave the tv on for sound...for your fur baby?
You know what the single-season is amazing you get an opportunity to know yourself before you know your spouse love watching your videos. Take care.
Hi, my testimony is that I learned about my singleness in 1 Corinthians and 2Corinthians. I read through out each book. I hope these books in the Bible are a benefit to you.
amen.
