“Songs of Waiting” was born from a deep and urgent desire in my heart to encourage other girls/women during their time of waiting for their future husbands. I pray the words you read here speak to the beautiful and innocent parts of you.
The following post is for mature audiences... Dear Readers, I am so excited to introduce you to one of my dearest friends, Ceci. She so graciously agreed to write this post for Songs of Waiting. Ceci has been by my side through this waiting journey, and has been one of my biggest supporters in this.… Continue reading Dating and Waiting
I don't know if you're a new reader and know nothing about me, or if you know some details of my love life, but I'll briefly share. I am 24 years old and I've never had a boyfriend, and I'm waiting until marriage. Purity is very special to me, and I want to encourage others… Continue reading Not Dating and Waiting
I want to glorify God with my life. I love Jesus and I never want to do anything that would hurt His heart. I know I’m not perfect, but I just want to make Jesus happy.

My "check yourself" line for SOW (Songs of Waiting) is that I can only write about waiting because that is all I know. Everything you read here is from my waiting experience; things I've gone through and things God has done in this journey. Every time they had an altar call at youth night I'd… Continue reading Encountering God
It's not impossible to wait until marriage. It's hard, but not impossible. I was sixteen and naive when I made the decision to wait. I made a list of qualities I wanted in my future husband and decided I wouldn't settle until I had everything on that list checked off. Of course I didn't know… Continue reading So, You Want to Wait?
Our culture is obsessed with sex. Society pushes it and throws it in our face. It's running rampant in our adults and our young people. And all the advice we give them is to remain pure. "Don't conform, kids," we say, but when we do that, we are blindly shooting the arrow and hoping it… Continue reading Songs of Waiting
