As someone standing in the gap for her marriage, I’ve learned to make the most of all holidays including Valentine’s Day. I take this opportunity to turn it into Galentine’s Day for me and for my fellow sisters in Christ!
Galentine’s Day Gift Guide
Stander’s Edition
Valentine’s Day can be tough for some standers because this day may remind you of your prodigal spouse and who they may be spending the time with, if not you.
While you are in the waiting season of your stand, make the most of it. Work on yourself and grow in Christ.
One of the Bible verses that gave me comfort during this time is found in Isaiah 54:5:
For your Creator will be your husband; the Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name! He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of all the Earth.
What does this mean?
The Lord wants to be the One you depend on and look to first to be your Provider, Protector, Comforter and Friend.
Second, is to find sisters in Christ who can stand with you and support you during this season and as your season’s change!
So what I like to do is either gift myself or my sisters in Christ (could be other standers) with gifts.
Here are several Galentine’s Day Gifts that you and your sisters will surely love!

Anyone actively walking with Christ and already spending time daily with the Lord will really appreciate these gifts – and the bonus is they really don’t cost much!
