ARE YOU WORTH THE WAIT? - Black & Married With Kids Blog

I absolutely LOVE it when I read another article on abstinence or see someone else advocating abstinence. It's something that is rarely talked about and since I have become an advocate for it, there has been more backlash than support. So when I read this article, needless to say my heart jumped, my eyes bucked, and immediately my mind said, "Put it on the blog!"

So here goes an ABSOLUTELY lovely article from one of my favorite websites, Black & Married With Kids:

Honesty At It's Best...

I've been thinking for two days straight...

LORD....what am I to say?!

I started a blog entitled, "Have You Ever Thought Why?"  which would question WHY do we give up the cookies before they've been bought...figuratively speaking.  But then I KNOW why.  It feels good.  Point blank.  And it just doesn't make ANY carnal sense to abstain from sex in a world that tells you that if it FEELS good, just DO IT.  DO YOU.  Isn't that the truth?  And the fact that we are forgiven for the sins doesn't make it any better.  YES!!! I thank God that we are forgiven already for sins, HOWEVER, I have learned that it doesn't prevent the consequences.  But then I thought to myself, "Donna so many people view consequences as life that it doesn't make any sense to write about it."  Soo needless to say, I stopped writing.

I felt like I was having writers block.  Like I know what I want to say.  I know what needs to be said.  But how do I fight against the world?  The one thing that I want to be is honest and real.  Sad though in this day and age, everybody claiming to be real ain't really "REAL."  I think to myself, "Lord, what do you have me doing?"

Hmp.  I feel like it's me against the world.  Then I'm reminded of the song by Mary Mary, "Gotta Do It Big."

See.  I have a dream that my testimony WILL change the world.  I was told, "The WORLD needs you."  Even though I feel like it's me against the world, TRUTH be told, IT IS!!! Because Satan is the prince of this world.  And I come against everything he stands for. 

No matter how nice or mean I come with it--PRE-MARITAL SEX DOES YOU NO GOOD!!!
YES!!!! You are forgiven...THANK GOD!!! HOWEVER....!!!!!! As my testimony proves, does that free you from the consequences of the predicament that you placed yourself in because of pre-marital sex?  You're forgiven, but does that keep you from getting AIDS, HIV, or any other venereal disease?  You're forgiven, YES!! PRAISE GOD!!! But does that keep you from dealing with the emotional, physical, and mental torture that we go through as a result of spiritually uniting ourselves with those that are not our physical husbands?  See...truth be told...yes, GOD loves you and HE has already forgiven you for the sins you will commit.  HOWEVER...the LIFE that you chose to live is up to you and you will live by the consequences of the decisions that you make.  That's it. Point blank. 

So I guess...the question is: What kind of life do YOU want to live?  The kind that God has for you..full of abundance, joy, and peace....or the life the devil has for you?  For it seems good for only a moment.  Yet it comes with a price. Is it a price you're willing to pay?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! "Leggo!"

HEY GOOD PEOPLE!!!!!

 

It's been a long time huh?....I know I say that every time and each time it takes another six months before I post again LOL!!!!

 

Well, I'll tell you the hold up has been me.  I've made so many excuses to not continue to fight to save the world! LOL

 

1. My impatience to deal with the fight.  It's not easy to encourage people to live a lifestyle different from the way that the world lives.  It really isn't.  And it's not that I'm weak, it's that I just chose to say "whatever" because the thought of the fight I know iggs my impatient nature.  *Iggs is a word...LOL*

 

2. My failure to allow God to lead my life and help me prioritize and schedule time to blog and video. 

 

3. Pure laziness.  Hey...I'm human!

 

And the MAJOR, MAJOR excuse....

 

4.  Now that I'm married and I've shared my whole experience with you guys through blogging and YouTube....NOW what do I say?  You know it was much easier to encourage abstinence when I was single and living it.   But truth be told...I keep saying to myself..."REALLY Donna? You going to encourage people to abstain but you married and can get it?" LOL I'm just being real...

 

However...2013 I will commit to saying whatever the Holy Spirit leads me to say... There is really no telling WHAT I will end up blogging about and if it's ok with you guys...I'm just fine with that!  Whatever God says, I'm going to write.  I've had a nice enough break and it's time to get back on my journey!!! :)

 

Love you!!
