Hey guys! Three blogs are a lot to run by myself with my busy schedule (if you haven’t noticed), so I’m combining all my blogs into one. In other words, I’m moving! Come visit me here: http://giving-it-all-to-him.tumblr.com/ .
It’s a combination of all three blogs. These blogs will still be up and running for your viewing/reviewing pleasure. If you would, please reblog this and let people know. You guys are amazing and I love you. God bless <3

(This is my personal belief based on what I have learned from experience, the wisdom of elders, and God’s Word - the Bible)
Tip #1: Ask yourself, “Am I ready to make a commitment?”
Relationships, even ones with friends and family, are tough. They require a lot of work. There will be fights, disagreements, basically the whole kit ‘n’ caboodle. Are you really ready to step out of the friend zone?
Tip #2: Don’t date for the sole purpose of dating. Dating is a means of getting to know someone better. You should really only be dating someone if you think this is the person you would like to marry. Another question to ask yourself, “Am I ready for marriage?”
Tip #3: Date someone who is a Christian. Luke 11:17 says that a house divided against itself cannot stand. Think about it. ”Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14 (NIV)
Let me define Christian. Being a Christian means you believe that Jesus is the Son of God. It means you’ve accepted Him as your personal Savior. Hence the word Christ in the word Christian.
Tip #4: The safest thing to wear during sex is a wedding ring. Yes, “save it for the marriage bed” my youth pastor says. Having sex before marriage causes major problems. There are diseases, issues with family, and a lot of the time the father chooses to leave.
Tip #5:
• Is this person dependable? Or are they always sloppy with their time?
• Do they strive to tell you the truth? Or do they constantly tell “little white lies”? Even when used as a joke, lies can define a person.
• Does the person respect you and his/herself? Or do they constantly do harmful/dangerous things and/or are pressuring you to do something you know is wrong?
• Do you trust this person? Or are you afraid of them?
• Does this person abuse you or use you?
Don’t ever jump into dating. Think about it. Think about the person and how they are.
It could save you a lot of trouble.
Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords, He is my Savior.
Tears are the pearls of God’s kingdom.

They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the LORD to care for them.
- Psalm 112:7 (NLT)
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
- Romans 5:6-8 (NIV)
My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises!
- Psalm 57:7 (NLT)
I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die.
- John 11:25 (NLT)
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.
- Romans 4:10 (NLT)
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
- Galatians 2:20 (NIV)
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
- Hebrews 1:3 (NIV)

1 John 3:16 (NIV)
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
