Collette | Your Online HomeGIRL💕

As a single woman who's dating in 2024, it's so important to remind yourself that you deserve to be someone's first choice. You're not a backup plan. You're worthy of undivided attention, consistent effort, and chivalrous actions. Always remember your worth!

Singles, I genuinely believe the person God has for us will be better than the type we’ve convinced ourselves we want. And I’m not just saying this to encourage you. I’m speaking from a place of faith because I’m waiting and believing God for this kind of love, too. I know what it’s like to pray for something year after year, to experience disappointment, and still have to find the strength to believe that God has something beautiful in store. But one thing I refuse to do is put limitations on what God can do in my love story. I believe He’s capable of exceeding every expectation I’ve ever had, including the ones I haven’t even imagined yet. Sis, what if the love God has in store for you is greater than anything you’ve ever experienced, imagined, or prayed for? 🙏🏽❤️

To those who have been in a WAITING SEASON that feels like it’s lasted forever, I want to encourage you: Don’t lose hope. Your story isn’t over. ❤️🙏🏽 I believe God has not allowed your waiting to be in vain. He has seen every tear, heard every prayer, and knows every disappointment you’ve endured. He loves you too much for you to believe you have to settle for just anyone to experience love. Even in the waiting, God is working. He’s molding you, preparing you, protecting you, and preserving you for what He has in store.

To those who have been in a WAITING SEASON that seems like forever, I believe our time is near. Your WAIT has not been in vain. God has seen every tear, heard every prayer, and witnessed every disappointment. He loves you too much to allow just anyone to love you. He is molding you, saving you, and preserving you for His best.

Dear future husband, If I ever fall asleep on the sofa watching TV, which I already know is going to happen…please wake me up and tell me, “Come get in the bed with me.” Or better yet, just pick me up and carry me to bed. I always want to end my night close to you. I want to feel your warmth, your touch, your arms around me, or simply know that you’re right there beside me. And if you don’t want to wake me up, baby, grab a blanket and come sleep on the sofa with me. 🥹❤️ Love - your future wife. 😘

I don’t know who needs this reminder, but never doubt or underestimate what GOD can do in the 11th hour. ❤️🙏🏽 You can still meet your person before 12/31/26. If it’s YOUR time, baby, it’s going to happen for you. God can do a lot with the time that’s left. 💍✨

May a love sent by God locate you by December 31, 2026. There’s STILL time, you know. 🙏🏽

Date the Sweet Man. ❤️ The man who is gentle with your heart. Who watches his tone when he speaks to you. Who communicates instead of shutting down. Who checks on you, reassures you, and makes his intentions clear. Who is consistent with his words AND his actions. Who makes you feel safe enough to be soft. Date the man who doesn’t have you constantly questioning where you stand or wondering how he feels about you. Baby, after experiencing love that made you anxious, confused, and guarded… a gentle, emotionally safe kind of love is going to hit DIFFERENT. 🥹❤️

My prayer before this year ends: May the kind of love you’ve been seeking God for and praying for find you. ❤️🙏🏽 A love that is intentional. Consistent. Mutual. Emotionally safe. God-centered. And clear about choosing YOU. The kind of love that makes you look back at everything you refused to settle for and say… “God, THIS was worth the wait.” 🥹❤️💍

I like mine CONSISTENT. ❤️ • Calls me. • Texts me and texts back. • Likes to FaceTime. • Wants to know about my day. • Checks in on me. • Buys me flowers. • Plans dates. • Isn’t afraid to express his feelings. • Makes time for me. • Keeps his word. • Takes initiative. • Makes his intentions clear. • Reassures me without me having to ask.

Can we bring back the men who YEARN for their woman? 🥹❤️ The kind of man who genuinely desires her presence. Who misses her when she’s not around, looks forward to hearing her voice, can’t wait to see her again, and still pursues her even after he knows she’s his. I don’t want obsession or unhealthy attachment. I want that “I really love this woman, I enjoy her, and I choose her over and over again” kind of yearning.

Can we bring back the men who STUDY their woman? The kind of man who pays attention to the little things. He learns what makes her smile, what makes her feel safe, how she likes to be loved, what overwhelms her, what brings her peace, and when something feels off without her always having to explain it. Don’t just date me. Learn me. Know me. Study my heart. ❤️

A man who actually WANTS to be a husband >❤️💍 Not a man you have to convince. Not a man you have to pressure. Not a man who wants all the benefits of a relationship with no real commitment. Give me a man who desires marriage, understands the responsibility that comes with it, and is intentionally preparing himself to be a good husband. A man who doesn’t just want a wife… he wants to BE a husband. 🤌🏾❤️

I don’t like when people say, “You don’t have to be physically attracted to your spouse.” Baby, YES I do. 😂❤️ Ladies, don’t settle. Of course looks fade, and character, heart, faith, and how someone treats you matter FAR more—but attraction still matters too! This is the person you’re choosing to love, kiss, cuddle, and wake up next to every day. I want to look over at my husband and think, “God, You did Your BIG ONE when You sent me this finnnnne man.” 😭❤️

I desire a man with a heart that is fully surrendered to God. 🙏🏽 Not just a man who says he believes in God, goes to church, or knows Scripture—but a man whose relationship with God is evident in the way he lives, loves, leads, and treats people. I want a man who prays, seeks God for direction, accepts correction, and chooses obedience even when his flesh wants something different. A man who understands that before he can lead a wife, he must first be willing to be led by God. I don’t need a perfect man. I just desire a man whose heart belongs to God, because I want us to build a marriage where neither one of us is at the center—God is. ❤️💍

I was hurt—and God kept me. I was disappointed—and God kept me. I got tired of waiting—and God kept me. I questioned my timeline—and God kept me. I experienced heartbreak—and He preserved my ability to love. I could have settled—and He preserved my standards. I could have lost hope—and somehow, I still believe. God didn’t preserve me by keeping me from every hard thing. He preserved me by not allowing the hard things to have the final say.

Dear Future Husband,❤️ It’s a new month, and wherever you are, I pray November brings you closer to God, closer to healing, and closer to the man He is calling you to be. I pray God is preparing your heart for me just as He is preparing mine for you. I don’t know when our paths will cross, but I pray we never meet before we’re ready. May God remove every distraction, close every wrong door, and protect us from connections that could delay what He has for us. And if we’re closer to meeting than I realize, Lord, prepare me to recognize what I’ve been praying for. I’m not asking for perfect love—I’m asking for God-ordained, healthy, safe, intentional love. Until then, I’ll keep trusting God with our story.🙏🏽

NOVEMBER AFFIRMATIONS 🤎🍂 I am not behind. I will not rush love. I am worthy of healthy love. I will not settle out of loneliness. I trust God with my timeline. I choose peace over potential. I will not chase what is unsure about me. I am allowed to have standards. I deserve consistency. I deserve reciprocity. I will listen to my discernment. I will enjoy my life NOW. I am whole while I wait. I will not compare my journey. I am preparing, not just waiting. I trust what God removes. I am becoming a better me. I will protect the peace I prayed for. I still believe in LOVE. ❤️ I believe my wait will be worth it. I am entering November with FAITH. 🙏🏽

I want my person to truly SEE me. ❤️ Not just my outer beauty, but the beauty of my heart. I want him to see my character, my faith, my softness, my strength, and most importantly, my love for God. I don’t want him to be so captivated by what he sees on the outside that he never becomes curious about the woman within. I want a man who yearns to know me deeper—to know my story, what shaped me, what I’ve overcome, what makes me laugh, what makes me cry, and why I go so hard for God. 🥹🙏🏽 Yes, I want him to think I’m beautiful. But more than anything, I want him to fall in love with the parts of me that a picture could never show him.
