~1 Peter 1:16
"I don't get it. You guys have kissed before? Why even bother it won't make a difference." That was my best friend's thoughts on how Jason and I have decided not to kiss again (since last February) until our wedding day. She thinks I'm nuts for waiting until I'm married to have sex. Since she knows my past she feels like I'm trying to be something I'm not or supressing who I am in order to please Jason. I told Megan he knows everything and she seemed to be doubtful that was true. She started listing my past sins and I was honestly able to say yes he knows. I should have told her he knows even more than you do. He knows every failure and every flaw. Guess what, he loves me anyways.
I was so frustrated with hearing that I was still the same girl she used to know. I finally emotionally spilled out my thoughts on sex and God's true design for mankind. I talked of how his love and forgiveness has helped heal me in ways I didn't think possible. I told her I'm at the point you can make fun of me all you want and think I'm weird because I have discovered everything I ever wanted and my life is going to be greater than imaginable. I talked of Jason's sacraficial love and how he wants to serve his wife with everything he has. I talked of how all I ever wanted to have someone to give everything to all my love and to have someone to return love in such a way. I tearfully talked about the best day of my life was when he washed my foot and in word and deed showed me he is that kind of man.
" Since the fall of Adam and Eve, God has been calling us back to be reunited with Him again in that holiness. We do that by responding to Him through a life of obedience and prayer"
