Wait for Me

originally posted July 26, 2007

You know, in my recent past, I've been told, both explicitly and implicitly, that I'm different from the wold. People have called me outdated, out of touch, uber-conservative, and a "purist". It's true: I'm not like those in the world; I don't smoke, drink, or have any tattoos and yes, I'm a (gasp!) VIRGIN! Personally, pre-marital sex had never even been an option in my mind. I guess I just figured all other Christians were like-minded. As time goes on, I'm finding more and more that I may actually be in the moral minority after all. I mean, I've hear of boys even at NNU who have not waited for marriage! I guess it just saddens me because I'd always envisioned giving my virginity to someone who was giving theirs to me on our wedding night. If I can't even fully rely on church being the place to meet a nice, virgin, guy then where IS? I just hate how flippant even those of us, as young adults in the CHURCH, have become in regards to our bodies! UGH!



Moral of the story: Please, have some integrity and do not indignify yourself by giving away one of the few things you can never get back. And, to my future husband: Rebecca St. James had it right. "I am waiting for, waiting for you darling. Wait for me too." Please wait, for me.
