How to have purity in a "Sex Crazed" world.

I'm not an expert at this but I would like to share what I have learned and what has helped me.  I am here to say THERE IS HOPE. Seriously though.... Whether you are a virgin or not...it is possible to maintain purity physically and mentally in a world where everything is centered around sex. I know that more people struggle with the sexual desires that ARE natural than what most people would like to admit. It's natural.... but the worst thing you can do to yourself is feed your sexual desires outside of Marriage. It will lead you down a road you really don't want to go down. God created sex. It is supposed to be wonderful and a gift... but in God's timing. I will never forget what a preacher said,  "You can't get victory over sexual desires because they are natural. You will always have them. You have to learn to MAINTAIN them."  If you're the type to think you are too far gone.... Your mind is just wrapped around sex ...or you've experienced too ...

VBS 2016

Vacation Bible School was definitely a lot of fun with the theme Hailey chose. She wanted to do a "Super Hero" theme with a city feel atmosphere. It was so cute and creative with everything Hailey put together. Her talents keep me completely impressed all the time! I am so thankful she took charge of decorations, skit videos, and flyers. She did a far greater job than I would have ever did. It is so exciting to see how my siblings are discovering, growing, and forming their talents God has given them and using them for God. It's a blessing. A real joy.      My brother, Noah(who has been called to preach), was our speaker for VBS and he did a great job. His humbleness was there. He asked people to pray that God would use each message for each night. His sermons spoke to my heart. Noah spoke on prayer, the bible, and used our theme verse(Matthew  5:16 ) for the last night and it was great!  On the note of those that have helped..... My best friend, Priscilla and m...

When God sent an Angel my way.

I'm still not sure as to who I talked to, but one thing is for sure... I needed it.  It was a Wednesday, October, 7, 2015. One of my hardest, most humiliating days I've had so far. It had to do with me and a total bad call on my part. It ended with people at work seeing me cry(which I hate) and me leaving work feeling so stupid and simply beating myself up for a situation that was over with and taken care of. I left work wanting to go straight home and cry my eyes out. Fortunately, for me I had to stop and get gas. There as I was pumping my gas I was throwing my own pity party wishing I had someone to talk to. As I was finishing up I saw someone walking towards me but couldn't see who it was due to the sun shining from the direction this person was coming from. When he finally made it up to my car I was already on guard and irritated that someone was about bother me. He asked me for some money for food and so I reached in my car and got some money and a tract from my church...
