Happy Valentine’s Day 🌹

I should have planted my flowers in December—by now, I’d have a full bouquet to admire and dramatically inhale like I’m in a romance movie yase ZeeWorld or KPop. This day really has a way of reminding you just how single you are. If you weren’t sure before, don’t worry—Valentine’s Day will make it crystal clear!

One of my pastors said singles should unite and spend the day interceding for nations. And honestly? That’s the best suggestion I’ve heard, because what else are we supposed to do? Sit here watching people post their flowers and gifts while we double-tap all day pretending it doesn’t hurt? Lord, have mercy. May this be the last Valentine’s Day we spend counting the dollars on people’s bouquets  instead of receiving our own! Today it’s red everywhere even the eyes of singles are red.

My dear married people, ENJOY! Don’t hold back, go all out, let the rest of us feel the heat. Put the pepper directly in our eyes!

Now, before anyone takes advice and runs off to do ungodly things, let me clarify—I’m talking to the married people . Couples who still intentionally love and care for each other deserve to be celebrated. From everything I’ve read in books and heard in sermons, staying committed in marriage these days is no small thing. So if you’re still holding on, loving each other, and choosing each other daily—congratulations, and happy Valentine’s Day!

I read Song of Solomon a few days ago you know, just preparing my vocabulary for when my husband finally shows up! Lol. But in the midst of my studies, I noticed a verse that was repeated three times:

“Oh, let me warn you, sisters in Jerusalem, by the gazelles, yes, by all the wild deer: Don’t excite love, don’t stir it up, until the time is ripe—and you’re ready.”

— Song of Solomon 2:7, 3:5, 8:4 (MSG)

Three times! I read it and thought, Eh? So there’s actually such a thing as stirring up love before its time and before you’re ready? And honestly, that’s exactly what some of us are about to do this Valentine’s Day—going to stir up things just for a few gifts.

Don’t put yourself under unnecessary pressure. Wait upon the Lord. There’s a time when love will be ripe for you to awaken, and at that time—you will be ready.

“I’m ready,” we say, mostly because we want what we want right now. But God is the one who announces our readiness—not our emotions, not the calendar, and definitely not Valentine’s Day. When you’re truly ready, God brings what a ready person is ready for, ready to handle, and ready to steward—including marriage. So, trust His timing!

Happy Valentine’s Day, my beloved family! I love you all and celebrate each and every one of you! Now, if you really want the roses and chocolates… just buy them for yourself. We know the brothers aren’t exactly stressing over getting arranged flowers and heart-shaped boxes, so yeah—handle it yourself! Lol.

Have a Jesus-filled day—and brace yourself for an overwhelming amount of red everywhere.
