Investing

I think part of why I space in and out of posting regularly is simply b/c I feel that my life isn't anything "special" that I don't have anything to share.  Kinda like when I was growing up and I heard other people share their cool testimonies and I always thought "I don't have a good story of what God saved me from" then as I matured I realized God did save me from everything else He saved others from, I just simply didn't have to experience the hurt they did, He saved me from it before I ever did it.  Make sense? 
Today I feel the urge to share my passion about purity.  Some people think this is an old fashion word that isn't relevant to today's society, however its still as relevant as ever.  My husband and I have a calling on our lives to serve God in full time ministry so we have the privilege of seeing people at their best and worst.  It breaks my heart when girls come to me and share that they've "gone too far" or "messed up" in the realm of their purity.  It makes me want to kick Satan in the throat and rip his finger nails off!  Makes me so mad that these poor girls find their fulfilment and satisfaction in what others think about them and chasing boys to fill that void. I understand it takes 2 to tango and girls aren't innocent.  Which is why it is so important to teach our daughters, nieces, friends, any young girls to keep themselves modest and not throw themselves out there for everyone and their brother to see!  If we think its cute that a girl has 6 boyfriends in 1st grade, allow her to start wearing makeup at 10, give her a cell phone at 12 b/c all her friends have one and don't monitor whom she is texting and talking to, buy her wardrobe from Victoria Secret when she's 15, then we should be surprised when she comes home and says she's pregnant at 17! I have a desire to see girls wear white on their wedding day and it still mean something!  To walk down that isle with pride holding their daddy's arm knowing she has saved herself for the man God has purposed her to spend her life with! If there is a young girl or a teenage girl that God has placed in your life reach out to her and know that you have the possibility to impact her life in more ways then you know!

writers block

I know it's been way to long in between posts!  Most of you probably don't check this page regularly anymore since I've stoped writing often!  I guess I just felt I didn't have anything interesting to write about so I'll call that writers block!  When in all actuality I can write about anything I want!  Kinda like an online diary of sorts.  So I will do my best to post more regularly, once a week if not then once every two weeks!
