What would you do if someone made a ridiculous accusation about you?

 

Would you be at a loss for words?

 

Would you snap?

 

In the premiere episode of the Listen Up Ladies podcast series, I address the concerns of a woman who found herself in such a situation.

 

She’s been single for over two years…

 

She has a close female friend who she hangs out with often…

 

Now based on those two things alone, her family and friends think that she is a lesbian.

 

Not only do I provide this young lady with some insight on how to handle this situation, but I also have a discussion with Ty to address things from a woman’s perspective.

SHOW NOTES

 

Episode Title: I’m Single…Not a Lesbian!

 

Guest: Ty – Follow her on Twitter

 

Music: Tamar Braxton – Pieces

 

Quotable:

“There is no way in hell my best friend and I, even on a bad day or after a break up, would be laid up in a fetal position…that’s like NEVER gonna happen!” – Ty

 

“When you can just change the way you do things, like the flip of a light switch, it makes me question how good you are at making other decisions in your life.” – Jay

 

“You don’t have to justify the reason you’re single.” – Ty

 

Key Takeaways & Lessons:

• It takes strength to be single long-term
• Best friends do not equal lesbians
• If you’re not homosexual, it’s not a label you want placed on you
• ‘Switching lanes’ should not be the first assumption made about a person who has been single for a long period of time
• Don’t let what other people say and think effect you…it won’t be easy, but it must be done

 

Insight & Action Steps:

1. Know who you are
2. Seek God for strength
3. Address the false accusations when necessary and ignore them when they aren’t worth addressing
4. Express how you feel about people jumping to conclusions and making false accusations about you
5. Do what makes you happy – don’t avoid your friend to who’s been there for you based on what other people may say or think

 

Apply the Principles:

“My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.” Psalm 119:28(NIV)
