Famous Mylee Bankston Quotes

“Singles are told to be content with where they are in life but also encouraged and pressured to move out of their current “situation” or “season.” Being told both of these can become a bit confusing.”

“Let’s encourage singles to enjoy this season in other ways than simply telling them it’s a gift. Because if we are being honest, marriage is a gift too and you can’t blame a girl for wanting it.”

“God’s story for someone’s life may look different than the “typical” story you are used to hearing, but that does not diminish the beauty and gift from God. It does not mean someone has lived life wrong. It means God has something else in store.”

“The best things you can do for your single friends is to listen, validate them, and encourage them never to lower their standards if what they desire lines up with what God says is best.”

“Desiring marriage does not automatically mean I am discontent in my life. As long as I desire Jesus more than marriage, I shouldn’t be made to feel ashamed for desiring to be married one day.”

“What you allow yourself to think and feel becomes what you believe about yourself. Make sure everything you believe about yourself and the current journey God has you on aligns with what God says about you.”

“When you guard your heart and fill it with godly influences, there is no room for comparison, heartbreak, or deceit. No room for anything that tears down your spirit and joy for life, only room for God and who he says you are.”

“I want a husband who loves Jesus and keeps him at the center of his life, someone who is not ashamed to live counterculturally and stand up for Christ. I want someone who has integrity, who is obedient to God, and who loves Jesus more than he loves me.”
