View Profile History	sigh....:( Posted : 13 Aug, 2009 01:41 PM Don't get the wrong idea .I don't have any plans to go and hook up with someone just to get the monkey off my back . I just get tired of dealing with people. I actually got into a fist fight with someone over it once(I won).Its bad enough that I have to deal with my own urges without the bugging me all the time.

Linnie41 View Profile History	sigh....:( Posted : 15 Aug, 2009 01:12 AM I don't know the numbers, but I can imagine that the percentages are high that the people teasing you about remaining a virgin will, in the future, either be doctoring for an STD, paying child support for 18 years for an unplanned pregnancy, be in a bad marriage because of an unplanned pregnancy, be divorced, struggling as a single parent, or all of the above. They will someday wish they had waited, and may already be suffering guilt and shame for throwing away something that they can never have again - which could be the reason they are mocking you - out of jealousy and regret for their own actions. I can't imagine the frustration you're feeling, because I didn't have the intelligence to wait. I'm now a single mother of four, and although I love my kids and God has blessed me greatly by allowing me to have them, my life would have been much, much easier had I followed His plan for me instead of MY plan for me. Hang in there - it will be worth the wait. Post Reply
pattarom2009 View Profile History	sigh....:( Posted : 16 Aug, 2009 07:14 AM Very hard especially in this kind of culture. You might even face the possibility that your first is not a virgin. I gave in and my spiritual life spiraled out of control. It wasn't until recent (after 10+ years) that I stood completely broken before God, begging for forgiveness... to be able to feel his presence again. You'll be amazed how quickly your connection with him breaks as soon as you give in, and man looking back that's no kind of place to be. It's like what Jesus said at the sermon on the mount, "Do not cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot" . Well I did, and I got destroyed spiritually. I always had a longing for God, but I couldn't share that while choosing sin. I hope my folly can give you a better understanding of what giving in to this temptation has in store for you, not to mention a wide assortment of STDs in store. One in four women are carrying Herpes now. You don't want that. Post Reply

View Profile History	sigh....:( Posted : 18 Aug, 2009 05:21 AM Don't become discouraged just because others around you are giving you a hard time.God always rewards those who are faithful to his word. Remember to keep your eyes focused on the end goal - and like the athlete you will have to apply discipline to get there - but the reward will be worth it. And you are not alone - there are other people out there who succeeded in waiting until they got married. Post Reply
View Profile History	sigh....:( Posted : 19 Aug, 2009 05:13 AM I thought I'd better clarify what I meant by discipline just in case I came across sounding like a drill sargent saying "all you need is will power!" I wasn't talking about an external force being applied to your life. There are two problems with will power: 1) IF YOU SUCCEED - you can become full of pride and look down on everybody else and end up condemning others; 2) IF YOU FAIL - you can end up living in self-condemnation. Neither is a great place to be. No the discipline I was talking about was the one where when you felt yourself getting into trouble you run straight to God. You notice I said "Run!" - Don't walk. Don't pass "go". Don't collect your $200. That's where discipline is required. That training to turn to God.("Opps! I'm being tempted. Where are you God?" "Opps! I'm getting angry with this guy. Where are you God?") The discipline of submitting. Letting the Spirit work in you.The discipline of renewing your mind every day. The transforming power of the Holy Spirit. An internal force - your source of power at hand when you need it. Post Reply

In fact, it is something that you should be proud of because it only shows that you are grounded by your principles and virtues, and that my brother is very admirable. If you feel that you are mocked by the world because of it, don't be because they are just saying that so that you can just be like them who didn't wait and missed the chance of experiencing how wonderful it is to do it with someone you would love for a lifetime and in God's approval. :) Also, I think waiting to do it in the right time just makes a man more responsible and more of a gentleman. :) You have no idea how much you're making us, your brothers and sisters here, and most especially the Lord proud because of the kind of discipline you have by simply waiting to do it in the right time, in His time. In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principles, stand like a rock - Thomas Jefferson Take care and God bless you always, Jared. :) Post Reply
