True Love Waits...

True Love Waits..We've all seen the purity rings that say "True Love Waits"...in fact, I have one myself, these rings represent a vow that was made to stay sexually pure before marriage. ( I believe everyone should make this vow). When I made the vow to be abstinent till marriage, I also made the vow not to date until I was mature enough, and knew who I was in Christ first. Of course it hasn't at all been easy not dating, there has definitely been times I've felt left out cause I didn't have a boyfriend, and all my friends did. But what I learned, is that I've found more satisfaction through Christ then I would any guy, and I learned that, If God can't make me 100% satisfied, then what made me think a guy could? No guy could ever compare to what I've found in Jesus, His love is so much more amazing, real, and free then any love a guy could give me. Because of my decision to not date, I've totally devoted all the time, attention, and pursuing I would into a guy into Christ, and what I found was that, Christ is my first love! and He always will be!! This may sound funny, but now, I absolutely LOVE being single, I can pursue God and have all my attention devoted completly to Him, without any distractions =) In doing so, I've found out who He says I am, and I've learned what He's called me to do.
Although, Please don't mistake me, I of course still want to get married, and all haha. I've learned that there is beauty in 2 things specifically, obedience and patience, patience is the key. The phrase "True love waits" is so lightly taken, the word "waits" can also be translated as "patience" or "patient", So, when we are patient, and obedient, resting in God's peace, our true love will come, but first, you have to make Jesus your first true love, cause He is =)

Speak peace to my heart...

As seasons are changing, so is my life, I only want to go in Your direction, I only want to do what will bring me closer to You. I love Your heart, its so beautiful, and full of truth.
Even when I doubt myself and what I'm called to do, I'm always reminded of You, and how even if no one is for me, I know that You always are, You're always constantly singing peace over my heart.
Then I remember, that You are always for me, and You always will be. When everyone else doubts me, You always cheer me on.
So I won't be afraid of the calling or any direction, I'll always remember You are always close. I'll cling to Your absolute truth, I'll cling to You. I'll know what You've told me, I'll stick to what you've spoken, but whatever I do let it only glorify You. Let me bring joy to your heart, and glory to Your awesome name. I'm completely Yours, I'll completely obey, even when the world says its a crazy thing for me to do, I know what is right, I know what is true, I'll only do what You've told me to do.
Calm my heart, hide me, wrap me in Your arms, keep me from all the impurities of this world. In You I can rest, in You I'm still, in You I'm complete, I'll do Your will.
