I'm sure we all imagined meeting the love of your life in our 20s and building a life together filled with memorable moments over the course of decades together.  For Jennifer Nix, that dream would be deferred when she became a widow after just a few years being married to her college sweetheart. 

Through her testimony she shares the importance of:

1. Soul Care - taking time to address the wounds of our souls even when it fees like we should be caring for those around us.
2. Community Matters - healing cannot be done in isolation. We need each other and the help of training professionals that lead us in the way of the Master. 
3. God is at work especially when it hurts, but the word of God tells us that He is close to the brokenhearted. In his closeness he not only reveals things to us, but also comforts us like no one else can.

There is nothing that irritates me more,  than when someone makes assumptions about who I am and my motives behind my relationship status. so, instead of getting caught up in my feelings and allowing my flesh to prevail, i had to step back, take a deep breath and think....

In an Article on Marriage Today entitled “Ten Marriage Decisions to Make Today”, Pastor Jimmie Evans  writes

“Did you know 86 percent of divorces are the result of what researchers call “non-severe circumstances”? That means the marriage-ending circumstances are not related to severe problems like abuse, abandonment or adultery. Instead, they are because of fights about money, kids, sex and other emotional issues.These are emotional decisions. They happen in the heat of the moment.”

Then he asks this powerful question: 

So, how can you keep emotions from impacting the health of your marriage? 

While we are not married, the way we steward our single season impacts not only our romantic lives,  but our life in eternity! Join host, Angela Hines as we discuss the first of 5 Decisions that must be made when choosing to steward this season well!
