Waiting....

My heart grew a little sadder, came to realization, and felt extremely blessed today when I found out a guy at my work whom I have always been great friends with and found adorable lost his virginity to a girl he wasn't even dating, he just graduated from high school. When I was a recent graduate from high school I was worrying about college,the immaturity of boys,extremely, the overwelming changes...I can't imagine having to worry about STD's and pregnancy too. But that is just the beginning. What happened to waiting till marriage? What happened to waiting till you love someone? I am not talking about the kind of "love" when you find someone attractive and you have good chemistry...if that were what love was I would've experienced it a trillion times in my life. I am not talking about something you would find on the bachelorette. I am talking about when you put all looks aside, you commit yourself to that person for forever, you will do anything for them(I am not talking about tattooing her name on your body), you will take the good and the bad, and you will become completely selfless. When you have that kind of relationship with someone sex becomes something so close, real, and intimate!
I had several conversations with this guy about having sex before marriage. He told me he had thought about it. I told him he would regret it but mostly he would be taking something very special away from his future wife, something he could never get back.
I am SO grateful that it was impounded in my head at a young age how SPECIAL sex is! I am so glad I waited for my husband! Thank goodness for the the strength to stop when I was dating other guys, it was hard...sometimes nearly impossible....but SO WORTH IT!!!


Some great examples of love :) (hope you don't mind me stealing some pictures)
