The Promise to Your Husband

I've written many letters that begin with, "Dear Future Husband." I began writing to my future husband to help ease the loneliness that came with being single. What began as cheesy love letters to my future forever written by a hopeless romantic teenager, grew into deep reflections of relationship and commitment. My young heart craved…

The Promise to Yourself

Last post we talked about waiting and the promise to God. If you missed it, scroll down and you'll find it at the end of this post. This time, we're going to talk about waiting and the promise to yourself. I always found it interesting and a little silly when people said to "save yourself"…

The Promise to God

There is so much practical information to write on purity and I will soon get to that, but I think it's important for me to write about my experience because I want you to know that you can do it too... My church used to have morning prayer at 7 am and my friends and…

You Are Not the Only One in This

I was never vocal about waiting until marriage. No one knew, not even my closest friends. They knew I refrain, but they didn't know I was intentionally waiting until marriage. I don't remember how the conversations came up, but eventually they did. This is not a topic one wants to tell the world, and it…

Intimacy with Jesus

When God created man, He looked at him and saw that he was good. When Jesus prayed for all believers, He prayed we'd be together with Him and the Father. Jesus went to the cross and died for us, and one day He's coming back to take us with Him. Even with our sins. Even…

She Needs Jesus

This one is for everyone; men, women, and myself. Last week I wrote about how Jesus is the most important quality in a man, and this week I tell you that it is also the most important quality in a woman. Men, look for a woman who has Jesus, and women, we need to seek…

He Needs Jesus

Ladies, this one is for you. If you want to wait until marriage, you need to be with someone who also wants to wait until marriage. Not only that, but he needs to be intentional about waiting; boundaries, dates, and alone time all need to be taken into serious consideration. And the most important thing…

Create in Me a Clean Heart

Psalm 51. David's prayer for forgiveness after committing adultery with Bathsheba. David's no-no with Bathsheba is my favorite example to use for waiting until marriage, because this proves that sex isn't just sex. I cannot summarize and talk about the entire psalm because I'd be here all night, so I encourage you to go read…

No Jesus, No Worth • Know Jesus, Know Worth

Know your worth. It's a Christian cliche we all love to use, but sometimes use it without depth. As cliche as it may be, it's also one of those that if we actually accept it, it will change our lives. I was walking clothed in insecurity in high school and I looked for happiness in…
