purity.

20% of teens have NOT had sex at the age of nineteen and I am one of them.


Many raise their eyebrows at me once they find out... I've never went on a date, kissed, or in any serious romantic relationship. After forty seconds of intense thinking, They smile and say that's cool... how do you do that? 


It's not easy. It's a choice just like all actions in life. I'm human and there is always a desire of being in a relationship. It's just you need to know why you want to be pure before the wedding night. Why I'm sexually pure is because I wanted to focus on pursuing Jesus. Also,  getting into a serious relationship that would not be there in five years... would be cheating my future husband because I want to give my whole heart to that man. Someday I will be married and I will know it will be worth it. Plus, I don't want the scars that I've seen so many get just because they went too far on a relationship too soon.  Also, the STD's that can make you want to puke up your favorite dessert, that doesn't help the sex before marriage cause either. 


"The fact of the matter is that the war over your virginity is so strong that you are going to have to have a vision for your purity to win. I mean, you must decide that you want to be a virgin before you start searching for the man or woman of your dreams. You just can't wait until the windows of the car are steamed up to decide who you are going to be"~ Kris Vallotton

So, to those who have stayed pure... You can do it... the world will tempt you but know that amazing person will be there in the right time and not in your time. You will have peace and the people who know you best will have peace. Don't fall into the "lust trap" and even when your mind is yelling...

or girlfriend.

just remember  it will be worth it to wait.

and remember...

"Don't excite love, don't stir it up, 
   until the time is right—and you're ready"
      Song of Solomon 2:7

To those who have gone farther than you could ever thought you would ... it's ok. Just because you have compromised in the past... doesn't mean you can't stop right now. You can do it. 

 "There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, "The two become one." Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never "become one." There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for "becoming one" with another. Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body." 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (The Message)
