You Are Worth Waiting For
As humans we are all fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. Unfortunately the world we live in tries to convince us daily that we are UGLY. This simply isn't true.
If I had one piece of advice for girls of any age it would be that you are worth waiting for. If you love God and are trying to honor him in your relationships then let the guys you come in counter with know that.
Trust me, I did this in high school and into college and it saved me a lot of heart ache, yes I lost a few boyfriends, but I never let my beliefs come second to the guy I was with. Because I stuck to my beliefs I was able to give my husband an incredible gift on our wedding night.
You are worth more than a one night stand, a friends with benefits, a live in girl friend. When you find the right guy he won't pressure you into sex or living with him. The right guy will respect you and love you enough to honor your decisions and commitments. Also, the excuse that it's saving you money is weak, what is more important to you money or your values?
Society has brainwashed people today into thinking that you don't really know someone until you live with them. In reality that is not true at all, you don't get to know someone by living with them you get to know someone by talking to them and asking them questions about themselves and spending quality time with them.
The best part about getting married was knowing that I had a man that from day one respected my beliefs and supported me in them while we dated. Another amazing part was finally being able to have sex and bond ourselves together physically for the first time. Lastly one of the best parts about getting married was moving in together and from there starting our new lives as husband and wife.
If he loves you enough to sleep with you and loves you enough to live with you then ask yourself, why doesn't he love you enough to marry you? I encourage you to change, it is never to late to make a fresh start, stop sleeping and living with people who don't value you enough to marry you.
Ladies I pray that we can encourage each other and build each other up and find our self worth in God and not men. I know it goes against everything around you, but it doesn't go against God and he is your ultimate judge. So please a guy for a moment or please God forever?
I know it works out for some people sometime and that is great for them but a lot of times it doesn't. How long do you want to try and prove to someone you are worth a ring and a commitment? Don't let a guy convince you that he is more important than your beliefs and convictions. He isn't, there are plenty of guys out there that will respect you.
I know people are going to be offended by this post, most of the posts on this blog offend someone at some point, and if you are offended I am sorry. That is not my intentions with this post. My intentions is to make a difference for one person. Maybe for the girl who feels like she's alone who is about to cave on her beliefs to keep her boyfriend, or for the people who are in a situation now where they are living with a guy who says "we'll get married someday". I encourage you to examine your life, are you living for God or for yourself/boyfriend? I have never out of everyone I have spoken to heard someone who waited say that they regret it, where all the time I hear from other people that they wish they had waited.
If for nothing else wait because it makes marriage more special. When you live together and sleep together before there is no incentive to get married. I didn't get married to have sex and if I wasn't married now, I wouldn't be having sex. It is a personal choice, and I have to much respect for myself to let a guy change who I am.
