SEX,SEX,SEX.....Enough Already!!!!

Now that I've got your attention. I have debated for a while about posting this, and I have decided I have nothing to be ashamed about. In this day and age we are bombarded with sex. Sex to sell anything from cars to shampoo. Sexual inuendo is in practically everything: tv commercials, tv shows, movies, magazines, enema instructions for cryin out loud...ok, maybe not the enema thing, but you catch my drift. The thing that aggravates me and depresses me, is the fact that most people assume, because I'm 27, I have done the horizontal mambo (I know, that's tacky). Why, is a question I DON'T ask myself anymore. I've had people ask me, "do you have any kids?" I reply, "No...I'm not married". Then they look at me funny, as if I have something hanging out of my nose. Then I kindly explain to them, I'm a virgin and I'm waiting until marriage. Oh, the looks I get then. Most are looks of shock and awe, some of disbelief, and some look at me as though I'm lying. Of course I get questions and the silliest one has to be: "Don't you ever think about?" No...I am so pure and holy that I am able to block it completely out of my mind whenever I turn on the tv, go to walmart, or watch a movie. Give me a break. As much as I would love to be able to say I have been completely pure (in mind and action), I cannot say that. I'm gonna go ahead and be honest, it's not easy maintaining purity...especially in these days and times. Doing the Godly thing is NOT, I repeat, NOT easy. If it were, everyone would be a christian. No, it's not easy, and noone could ever accuse me of saying that it was. That's why I am so thankful that God promises in His Word: "I will NEVER leave you or forsake you" and "Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I WILL give you rest." Can I be even more honest with you? Do I want to get married, Boy do I!!!! However, I would rather be single and stay a virgin the rest of my life, if the alternative was to sacrifice my morals, beliefs, and body to be with someone who I wasn't supposed to be with. I tried the sacrificing of morals thing, never want to do it again. To any guy and any girl reading this (that is single) there are worse things in this world than being single!!! What, you may ask, could be worse? How about giving you heart to someone who doesn't love you, doesn't respect you, and could care less about being with you. I've seen that over and over in so many people, all for the sake of not being alone. Wanting to feel loved, even if there is only one person giving love. I understand that loneliness, man do I understand it, but it is NOT worth the pain it causes to be with Joe or Jane blow down the block for one moment of pleasure. Wait, I say, wait upon the Lord. Don't give Him a time limit, He doesn't work on your time table. He knows what He is doing, and He knows better than anyone who you or I should be with. I promise you, He will never, EVER let you down. Better yet, He promises, He will NEVER let you down.
