| Ok girls- and guys i guess- this is a really strange post in a way- but yeah here goes- Today in class a guy that I was working with said something very derogatory about people, especially young women, being virgins. This really upset me....I understand that the world does not view virginity in the same way God does, so I want to encourage you girls and guys, don't let what the world views as unimportant change what God has deemed important. Please please please, I beg of you, wait on the Lord's direction in your life in the issue of marriage and all that comes with it. God gave you this precious gift for a reason- to share with the man or woman He has for you.....Do you not know that your body is the temple of God?
1 Corinthians 6:18-20
***18Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.****
Sometimes its very hard to abstain from those things you think will make your boyfriend/ girlfriend "happy" or when they say "if you love me". Love is not based upon the things you can do for eachother....if they are asking you to do things they know you do not want to, its not love- and yes, its hard - very hard to not do those things that you think will make them "love" you more- but remember what love is:
1 Corinthians 13: 4- 7.....
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
So I encourage you now, because I know some of you are struggling...to persevere- wait for that special love that God has for you...because if you do, it will be the greatest thing you will ever know- because the Lord will be in the midst of your relationship.
Ecclesiastes 4:12:
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. | | |
| Psalm 37: 4-7 Says :
4 Delight yourself in the LORD;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
5Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
6He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And your judgment as the noonday.
7Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
We all have desires, wants, and things we feel we need. According to this verse, when we delight ourselves in Him, He will give us the desires of our heart. It isn't like He doesn't know what we want or need, but I believe, we must delight in Him before we receive these things because if we were to have these things before we truely fell in love with Him, we would place these things above Him and never give Him a second thought. Verse 5 says commit your way to Him and He will do it. Many times we try in our own "power" to gain what we want. We could never make ourselves as happy as He can. For example: we meet someone we think we love- but its only outward attraction- we marry them- and then find out- wow we just settled- we didnt wait on God. In opposite- what if we wait? Maybe that man we waited on is ten times better and although we had to wait- it was well worth it- Verse 6 says- He will bring forth our righteousness as the light and our judgement as the noon day. Bearing in mind, this verse is based on the others- When we do the other verses which are before this one, our judgement will be as the noon day- clear, crystal clear, as if the sun were beeming down on our decision. Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him. Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. Many times we look at others and think- wow I go to church and do all the right things, so why do the have a wife, or husband, or house- and I dont have the desires of my heart!! This verse says to wait patiently and rest in God. Waiting is not my best area honestly, and I don't believe I know a person who likes to wait- it is hard. But we can rest assured that God is in control and knows all- rest- relax, rely on Him to take care of things. In my opinion, this verse comes full circle back to verse 4. While you are waiting patiently...you'll need something to do. So therefore, the only logical thing to do is to learn to "delight yourself in the Lord, commit your ways to him, learn to have- through delighting and comitting to have clear judgement, and rest in the Lord"- and then- when you truely learn to rely on God, He will give you the desires of your heart.. | | |
| Hello to all! I'm so sorry I have not written in a while, we have been on family vacation and it has just been plain hectic. I also start school today, which does not excite me all that greatly in a way, but on the other hand I am glad to get back to what I need to do. I will definately write more later about our trip and stuff- there is a lot to write...However- now I have to get ready to go to school- love you guys- please pray as I begin this summer semester- its 16 weeks of Anatomy and Physiology 2 crammed into 6 weeks...bye bye
In His Grace,

| Someone very wise told me something this week that struck me as such a cool thought. From the time we are very young most of us desire to have a special someone who will love us and take care of us. This is especially true, I believe, for us girls. This longing for 'love' can be a dangerous trap and has great potential to lead us away from our first true love- our Lord. My friend told me this week (paraphrased) that before God will give you someone to marry, you must be completely satisfied in Him. This is such a true thing. How many times do we seek satisfaction in other places besides the one true place that satisfaction comes from? I know I do it. For so long, it has been a dream that I would meet the man I am to marry and fall in love and have a family etc.... Well, the Lord does not put a dream in us just because...Jeremiah 19:11 says that He has plans. We are not here to take up space and oxygen...we are here to glorify Him and Him alone. It is so easy to say that we trust Him and that He is Sovereign, but it is an entirely other matter to live it out. It is my prayer and I ask you to pray along side me that we all would learn to trust God's plan and to learn to have full satisfaction in His sovereignty. He is, after all, God- Creator, The Lord Almighty, Alpha and Omega, our Provider, Protector, Healer...should I go on? He has everything in His hands- Oh Lord, give us faith to trust, strength to endure, and the eyes to see You working among us. | | |
| k- so school started again yesterday- pretty much stinks but I think it might be fun. Our prof is pretty funny, but yeah still is not a welcomed class to take again if you know what I mean....but yeah- ok so question- Kinda a stupid first blog on here..but hey here goes- Ok- I think ive asked this question before, but I really want some input...What do you do when you truely care about someone, but you think youve ruined your chance with them forever.?..When your young- you are inexperienced at everything...you get scared then you mess everthing up out of fear more or less...but what happens when you havnt seen that someone for forever and you realize that you still truely do have feelings for them? What do you do when you are too afraid to dive in and take that chance again? Maybe I should feel slightly dumb for asking all this...its just a funny thing...Love is a funny thing...it makes us do the strangest things and in the strangest ways....what to do.. in the words of Pooh- "oh bother"
