A Story About Purity

      Well, I went with my youth group to Asheville, NC last summer. I was in the car with 3 guys and another girl. Okay, and on the way back, the oldest guy, he's 21 now, told us so much about his past relationships. Actually, mainly one in particular.

It started out by taking a picture and showing us his & his younger brother's old girlfriends. So, he told us a little about them and then that's when he told us about that girl.

He told us how they'd be like together, and like whenever he'd want to kiss her (he wasn't much of Christian then...not sure how he is now cuz he moved to Pennsylvania...), anyway, she would always put a finger to his lips and say, "No."
She'd say it sweetly and with love though, but definitely serious. Anyways, he and his bro went to a park once and while the dude was going out with that girl, he brought another one with him and made out with her. She found out and they broke up.

While he was telling us this story, well, it was the most serious I've ever seen him be in my life. And about that girl that said "No," well, he said that in everything she was perfect, including that. He said she'd be the perfect wife to someone someday. He deeply regretted "cheating" on her.

So that got me to thinking, "Okay, he says she's perfect for not making out with him...hmmm. I want to pe perfect..." And that was before I fell in love with God. So, that guy really respected that girl that wouldn't kiss him b/c it was STILL too soon, and called her perfect, as in the way of truly regretting losing her. And the way he spoke, and the other things he told us...man, I'm never going to forget. Well, he really inspired me to be as pure as possible. I mean, this guy is an incredible riot; he used to joke around all the time, and when he told us this, my friend and I just couldn't believe that he was telling us this cuz it was incredibly personal, yet there he was. God was SO in it all. I don't date, not that I'm old enough anyway, cuz I'll only be 15 on July 18 (yey!) but still. I strongly believe in the way I want to meet my guy. *We both fall in love with eachother when we meet, no one setting us up, not going on dates to meet each other...knowing perfectly well we like each other...and with God's help, making it the purest relationship possible (b/c we wanna be pure like God!) and just letting God be in it all the way.

I think I know who my future husband is. Like, and I'm praying he won't ask me anything like those obvious questions that I cannot stand. "So, how is it between us?" "Is anything going on?" "Like, do you like me?" "Do you think anything is gonna happen?"

Like, it's SO unromantic! I cannot stand stuff like that!

I pray, literally, I pray, asking God for my future husband (whoever he will be if JUST IN CASE this isn't the guy!) that he won't ask me any of those questions!

Like, I think, if two people like each other, it's pretty obvious. And I just want our relationship to grow in Christ, and none of that foolishness is gonna happen cuz there's no way I'm letting it, anyway.

My first kiss will be on my wedding day. I want my guy to say, "I'll wait as long as it takes for you..." It'll be more special that way, and if he ever does wanna kiss before then, I'll gently place my finger on his lips and say, "No."...

Verse of the week:

"Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will be faithful to perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."
