abstain from sex until marriage

My friend recently told me that she is in the same situation that I was in last year. Her boyfriend is not what I call a ‘cup of tea.’ So her and I decided to do this together. I’m really praying that she will-and I as well-go through with this. She is such a sweet girl and incredibly strong in the mind. It amazes me how she’s getting through everything right now, but I love her to death for it.

Three months and I didn’t give it up the whole time Danny and I were dating. I think that might be part of the reason we broke up, but I don’t care. If he doesn’t love me because I won’t sleep with him, then I DON’T want to be with some one like that anyway. I am so proud of myself, and I’m going to stick through to my word…no matter what it takes. I know that if I do get through this, in the end, I will have someone worth waiting for!

I know that I can’t go back and change everything, but I can do things now to stop certain things from happening in the future. I’m thinking about making a bracelet or something as a symbol for me to not give it up, no matter how much I think I love that special someone or whomever. I shouldn’t need a reminder for this, but, as much as I don’t want to say this, sometimes things happen. Even if I was in love with another person, I feel that the true love would show through waiting. If the other really loved me, then he would wait as long as it took for us to get married and care for me none the less. If it bothers him, then I don’t want to be with someone like that because it wouldn’t be True Love.
