You Are Wonderful…Even Without A Boy By Your Side

I’m twenty years old, an almost-straight-A student, and involved in many different things both in high school and college. And I’m in a sorority. I’m the oldest of four and the only girl. I like to think I’m decently funny and that my love for Jesus shows through. But… I’ve never been on a date. I’ve climbed ladders and gained leadership positions. I’ve grown close to some of the most amazing women this world has to offer, and I intern for a place I love with all my heart. After many months, I found a church family. Most days I’m so…

Real Questions: I like him. He likes me. Should we date?

Have you ever dropped a pack of Mentos into a 2-liter of Diet Coke? Well, it’s pretty explosive…kind of like hormones, especially in the teens and early twenties.

Breaking Up: How to Find Healing After Heartache {Part 1}

I used to think that I’d never have to experience the pain of breaking up. It was simple: I would wait for the one God has called for me to be with. And I thought I’d found him. He was a Christian. We knew each other since we were toddlers. Our parents were good friends. He possessed many of the qualities I was looking for in a future husband. Soon after we began “talking,” we dove into a relationship.  Although I wasn’t 100% sure that he was my future husband, I took the risk. We figured God was orchestrating our…

Embarrassing {But Real} Questions: Tackling the Topic of Sexual Purity

A lot of people would rather crawl under their couch than to openly discuss some topics centering around sexuality and purity, but that won’t make the questions go away. Yes, questions from girls and moms (and boys and dads) like… I know the Bible says sex outside of marriage is wrong, so is heavy petting an appropriate substitute? Is anal or oral sex an OK substitute for sex until I get married? I’ve heard looking at porn is wrong, but what about stories that are erotic?
