Keepin it clean

"I... I've been praying... and... I... I... I think you're my future... my future..."
"Just say it!!!....Does it start with a "W"?"
"Yes..."
"End in and "E" ?"
"Yes..."
"And have "if" in the middle?!?!?"
"...Yes..."

After two years of being my best friend... he finally told me.

My whole life I planned on staying pure until I had a ring on my finger and the words "I do" coming out of my mouth. I knew that the first man I dated would be the man that I would marry and that my first kiss would be shared with the same man I gave my first everything to. Thanks to my amazing boyfriend... I know those dreams of mine will come true. Yes, I am only 18 years old and I understand why some people would call me crazy, but I'm the kind of person who knows what they want and will fight until they get it.

Keepin it clean isn't very easy in a relationship, especially when you're confident that one day you'll get to share everything with that person... But I'm blessed enough to have a divine matchmaker holding my hand through the whole process. I didn't have my first kiss until 6 months after we were dating and I have not once been scared that our temptations would get the best of us. I'm keepin myself clean for God,  for myself, for my boyfriend, and for our future family. I love knowing that I'll be able to say follow in my foot steps. That I can say do as I did, not just as I say. That my boyfriend respects me enough to not push the limits. That he has his own boundaries for himself.

Guys... if a someone isn't trying to do anything physical with you just because you don't want them to... the chances of it working aren't likely. They've gotta want it for themselves and strive to protect your heart and their own. It might seem romantic and look like they'll respect you until you're married but typically their desires to be physical will over rule their desire to keep you happy.

Proverbs 18:22- He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.
