(I am growing mine out)<br /><br />Anyways, Bess, I am given more hope knowing that I am waiting along with my big sis in Christ (and others of course) on saving our precious kisses for our godly princes! (That sure did rhyme!) <br /><br />And yes, camp really was the ULTIMATE God-thing. Wow, I loved your comment! Thank you!<br /><br />Love ya, and I know for certain that because you've waited so long, God will fulfill your desire(s). Praying for you sis!<br />Amber♥Amber Noellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563765879096178231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160686962065903146.post-27619915990610721332010-06-23T18:49:04.920-07:002010-06-23T18:49:04.920-07:00Yes, Anneliese, we could form a support group! =) ...Yes, Anneliese, we could form a support group! =) About the party - mine is going to be a personal party for one. I still have about a couple chapters left in the book, but it sounds like the author's party might be more of a “get-together with people” party. Anyhow, the author talks about how she knows this whole party idea may seem wacky or plain silly, but it's helped her get her mind off of her virgin lips (which she used to dwell on & have pity “parties” about=)...& it's let her realize that saving your kisses for someone special (& God’s perfect timing) is definitely something to celebrate! I know it’s kinda crazy (or just plain crazy), but I like it! =)<br /><br />Lots of Love in Christ,<br />-Bess--Bess-https://www.blogger.com/profile/04986982429700302555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160686962065903146.post-62075103321482781892010-06-23T15:52:12.884-07:002010-06-23T15:52:12.884-07:00Bess & Kristin - same here!

Is it a literal party, or more a quiet, personal celebration?<br /><br />xoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160686962065903146.post-75244991281817866952010-06-23T10:10:36.078-07:002010-06-23T10:10:36.078-07:00It's little steps like that that bring about c...It's little steps like that that bring about change, Bess! =) <br /><br />When I was journaling one day, the topic of fears came up somehow, and I listed out all of my fears. Then I realized that there was one common theme running through all of them: the fear of worrying what others think of me. Seriously, all of my fears revolve around that one. And I know that's something I need to really work on. It's pretty ridiculous, when you think about it. I've always been a people pleaser and wanted everyone to like me...but it needs to change. If the Creator of the universe loves me and accepts me the way I am, what else <i>really</i> matters? <br /><br />~KristinKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592919145644124930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160686962065903146.post-76569907546660851682010-06-23T06:35:55.868-07:002010-06-23T06:35:55.868-07:00Thanks for your thoughts!

I do need to work on that a little more...it seems like that fear would be whittled down to "what will people think," which I shouldn't fear. Just what God thinks is important. You know I've bought a few things I wouldn't really have wanted to (& used to never do in front of males) in front of guys in the last few weeks. Perhaps I'm slowing finding the right track, but I still need work in other greater areas of the "what would people think" fear! We are a work in progress, & I'm so glad God put the following verse in the Bible: "being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" -Philippians 1:6<br /><br />Love Ya,<br />-Bess-<br />=) ><>-Bess-https://www.blogger.com/profile/04986982429700302555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160686962065903146.post-67545741059086298762010-06-22T22:09:30.467-07:002010-06-22T22:09:30.467-07:00Wow soooo much of this sounds like me, it's ri...Wow soooo much of this sounds like me, it's ridiculous! I have that problem with buying 'Sacred Singleness' by Leslie Ludy; I've read a preview of it on Google Books, and I really like what I've read so far, and really want to buy it, but I'm worried what the shop assistant serving me will think. =S It's a completely dumb fear, but it's still there...<br /><br />I love the idea of saving your first kiss until marriage, but I'm not sure I'd save it for that long. Maybe when I'm engaged? I still need to work this out, but there'll be plenty of time for that ;)<br /><br />And you're absolutely right; we need to honest about how our decision to live pure lives has affected us. It's such an awesome, godly thing to do, but that doesn't mean it's easy!<br /><br />God bless<br /><br />xoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160686962065903146.post-89476415461549059062010-06-22T18:05:21.295-07:002010-06-22T18:05:21.295-07:00I loved what you said at the beginning about being...I loved what you said at the beginning about being too nervous to buy the book...I've done that all the time! I used to really want one of Chad Eastham's books, but I would never buy it because there was this cute young guy working at the Christian bookstore. =) And the book was called "The Truth About Guys." Awkward!<br /><br />I'm also saving my first kiss for the man who I'll marry. I don't plan on waiting for my wedding day, or even engagement, but I won't kiss him unless we've been in a serious relationship/courtship and I'm sure he's the one God has for me to marry.<br /><br />~KristinKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592919145644124930noreply@blogger.com
