I will be 40 in October, but I was in your shoes when I was 26. I actually had just started my MBA Program at 26. But literally once I finished my Masters at 27 going on 28, I met my now husband. I was 30 going on 31 when we had our daughter and then going on 32 when we got married. Continue to enjoy your life and not all settle. You are soooooo bomb, smart and gorgeous. you will definitely be blessed with all you are praying for! Keep shining Queen!!!

@cocomonie22

I agree with you 💯. I’m 34 and I’m not married nor have kids. I had this desire that I wanted to be married by 30. I questioned myself like is there something wrong with me??!! I had to pray and understand that it will happen and to just be patient. It’s hard out here in theses single streets. iI refuse to settle! It’s not that I don’t get men that are interested but I know what I want and if you not ready then I’m good. Just be patient. Your still young and beautiful. It will happen in Gods timing! Ladies know your worth and just don’t settle for just anybody because your lonely. Just focus on yourself and he will come to you when you least expect it ❤️

@EuniceCChina

I will be 27 in a few months and am still single! I need to dramatically increase my faith in God; I often break down having been single for so long. Keep me in your prayers. Thanks for the video!

@ItsHannahMarieC

I had to come back and comment on this video. Look at God!! Now you are engaged! Congratulations!!! đź’•

This was a great message! 26 was a hard year for me because I felt the exact same way but us, as women, especially successful women, you're right; we don't give ourselves enough credit. I'm getting my Ph.D., I have a great career, great friends, I have grown as a woman in my faith, and I need to embrace all of that. This was a great of you to talk about Chelz! Bravo!

@lookin4thatgrl619

You’re beautiful, well traveled, career, educated, brave, and entering into a stage where you really find yourself. I’m 37 and I remember the same fear at 26. You’re exactly where you need to be - Jesus

@nikkiep23

Thanks Chelz! I'm a successful and educated woman and too had these thoughts and timelines forced upon me and a result, at 26 I got married because I thought that was the "missing" piece in my life and I was truly unhappy so I left my marriage. The awesome blessing that did come from my broken marriage is my wonderful 17 year old son. I am now living my life to fullest and Unapologetically. I do not allow society or anyone in my personal life dictate where and what I should be doing at this point in my life. I've always been a free spirit so when I chose to live in Europe  for the second time in 2015, ( first time I was in the military). I did it. It was an awesome experience for myself and my son. Now that I've been back in the states for a few years, I'm contemplating going back after my son graduates from high school next year. I say all that to say, it would be nice to settle down with someone special and share my passion for life. However, I have not put any time limits on myself. I enjoying dating and making my own rules.

I just turned 26. And am scared of being alone forever. I always thought of my career and never bother about love. I do feel stressed out at times but try to trust God. Thanks for sharing. It encouraged me to focus on my own path and looking to God than to the world around me.

@lavonaturner7691

You are very wise for your age, and you have such a sweet spirit.  Stay on your path, God will lead you sweetie ❤️

@ChicConfidence

I felt the same way.  I ended up getting married at 33 and my husband is one of the best men I know.   You’re making the right choice.

@ItsMorganT

I love this video ! You are definitely not alone, I’ll be 26 in September, and I’ve had the same things in my mind! Thanks for being so transparent girl! God bless 💕

@LoveMe2Today

I have been feeling the same. I’m 33, no kids. I finished my masters in May. I am taking my time until I find a guy that catches my eyes lol and allow Guy to send him to me

@JaelinJaNae

3 years later and this video still matters! If you could please pray for me!

@renataharewood1297

I use to be like that. I know I wasted a lot of time with the wrong person. I met my husband when I was 36 in class. Ironically, I’m the last class both of us needed to get our degree. It didn’t take that long for us to get engage and get married. Trust and believe when God send that special someone in your life I know you will be ready to receive him.

@doseofjasss

You’re definitely not alone. I just turned 25 in March and felt the same way. Just finished my masters as well and felt the post grad blues. After deciding to cut off some dead weight (situationships) I feel super free and now I’m using this time to figure out what I want. I love how you said you have to be whole first before committing to someone. Absolutely love your transparency!

@britneycook5975

Thank you for filming this video !!! I am 26 as well in Houston! I am in a relationship but I completely understand where you are coming from !!! I found myself unintentionally comparing my journey which I know I cannot do ! Thank you for this video!

@genevievec2795

i also just turned 26 (woohoo may 18 babies) and i feel the same mostly. a lot of people around me are in a serious relationship, engaged or married. i think that it usually takes longer for people who are a little pickier and want “more” out of a partner because we have to shift through more people who may not get us to where we want to go in order to find someone right.

@beingbreezyy

Thank you for keeping it real! I’m 23 and single. I’m in grad school now & I have had been able to experience life. I also have an amazing support system. I do get down about not meeting the right guy yet but you’re right we have to appreciate ourselves & our accomplishments! I also think it’s important not to settle especially since we are well accomplished women!

@teairashae2661

Sis! Omg this video was everything. Like yes know you’re season. Know what season God has placed you in. Be purposeful in dating. Pray for ya girl 🙋🏽‍♀️

@elizapenutbutter7710
