"You seem a little quiet lately," I told him. "You're right. I'm just going through some things," he responded. How was I supposed to know this conversation would set my path for the next few months? I suppose I might have seen it coming, but then again, I didn't realize I was in the wilderness… Continue reading I’ve Been A Little Quiet
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"… Continue reading The Promise to Yourself
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… Continue reading You Are Not the Only One in This
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… Continue reading Intimacy with Jesus
This one is for everyone; men, women, and myself.

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… Continue reading He Needs Jesus
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… Continue reading Create in Me a Clean Heart
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… Continue reading No Jesus, No Worth • Know Jesus, Know Worth

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
