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:

Check it out, and leave comments below!

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!!

There are a few people that aren't on FB but were interested.  For this purpose I'm including this blog so that those that want to follow along still can.  I encourage you to "journal" using the W.I.L.D. methods.  Unless you are accustomed to reading the Word and recieving revelation it's nice to read with a purpose.  The W.I.L.D. is as follows:

W- What is this passage about?
I- What is the main idea?
L- How does the passage apply to my life?
D- What will I do to apply it?

I know I'm a week late in updating it but.... :) Please forgive me!!

Love y'all

21 DAY SEX FAST CHALLENGE! YOU AIN'T SCURRRED IS YA?!

WOO HOOOOOOO!!!!! I am SOOOOO EXCITED to be back on my game and promoting the Word that God has put in my heart.  He recently gave me a new idea to implement...instead of the 40 Day Sex Fast we will do a SHORTER, MORE INTERPERSONAL 21 DAY FAST!
A SECRET group will be created for this purpose of encourgaging and checking in during these 21 days!
The DETAILS OF THE CHALLENGE ARE AS FOLLOWS:
CHALLENGE BEGINS JUNE 4-JUNE 25TH
1. ABSTAIN FROM ALL SEXUAL ACTIVITIES (INCLUDING ORAL AND FOREPLAY) FOR A TOTAL OF 21 DAYS. 
2. MEDITATE ON THE GIVEN SCRIPTURES USING THE "WILD" METHOD. MORE INFORMATION ON THE METHOD WILL BE IN THE GROUP.  (PRAY AND ASK FOR REVELATION BEFORE AND AFTER YOU READ.)
3. JOURNAL CHECK IN AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK IN THE GROUP.  THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE TOO PERSONAL BUT JUST SHARING WHAT GOD IS SPEAKING AND HOW THE FAST HAS BEEN AFFECTING YOUR LIFE (THE GOOD, BAD, AND UGLY)!

TIPS: I encourage you to journal each day, and not just once a week.  It is interesting to see how your life changes over the process :)  I also encourage you to be mindful of the things you listen to, watch, and read.  Be careful of the situations you place yourself in (after all, you wouldn't take an alcoholic to a bar would you?). 
AT THE END OF THE CHALLEGE EACH PERSON'S NAME WILL GO INTO A DRAWING FOR A SPECIAL PRIZE WHICH WILL INCLUDE "SEASON OF SINGLENESS" - BY CIARRA LEATHERS, A SAMPLE PACK OF BODY BUTTERS BY SHENINA BROWN, AND MUCH MORE!!!

HOW DO YOU INCLUDE YOURSELF IN THE CHALLENGE?  JUST MESSAGE ME PERSONALLY AND I WILL ADD YOU INTO THE GROUP.  THE GROUP IS SECRET SO YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND IT, SEE ANY POSTS, ETC.

1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY...ABSTINENCE UPDATE!

I seriously get teary eyed thinking about everything that has happened over the last year.  I not only blog, but journal so I took the time to go back and read my journal during that time.  It seemed like things would never end...things would never change.  But here I am...

For those of you that haven't read the previous blog you should probably get updated! :)

God has continued to press my heart concerning the things that He wants to see happen on this Earth.  I often ask Him, WHY ME!? And He always gives me an answer.  He needs us to be His voices on this Earth because the time is winding down.  The world is heading more and more into sin and we as Christians need to be standing up and declaring what thus saith the Lord.  We as Christians need to be loving on those that need deliverance and SHOWING them that there is a better way.

Recently I talked to God about my book.  I started getting the urgency of publishing it.  I read back over it and asked God "Can I use an alias name?"   I even talked to a good friend and as always, she just said God would tell me.  I was minding my own business, as I am usually doing when God just speaks (lol), He said to me that I could not use an alias and that it was a testimony of HIM and that He would give me favor.  I mean the book is a bit personal...but like He said...I could not have made it out of the mess I was in without HIM!  Just another testimony of allowing God to lead us.

Now on the ABSTINENCE front...I'm still advocating it.  To some I am still pissing off *hehe* but to others, to those that want to really change, God is moving.  And I yield myself completely.  God also put the youth ministry back on my heart, something I thought I was done with.  But I know it's Him...again, minding my own business.  We are still constantly being blessed as my husband now has a new job.  And it seems like the book will be published this year, and I am claiming it!  I just don't know how much I can stress obedience.  I beleive I have said this before; God told me that He was hearing every prayer of mine but because of my disobedience, He could not release the answers to my prayers.  It was only until I lined my life up according to His word.

The thing is if you're going to be all GOD be ALL GOD! Otherwise...let's just stop playing.  I hate to come off being hard but I mean, I just don't know how else to put it.  It's the truth!  I will be back this summer hitting some issues hard, as the Spirit leads me.  My spirit is crying out more towards marriages AND single women so I'm just going to go with God.  Who knows...

I hope that my testimony blesses you! Because my lifestyle has sure been a blessing to me.  I'm not saying I'm perfect and I have everything right because yes, there are areas, God is still working on within me.  However, my heart cries out to be obedient and to please Him.  When God knows your heart and your heart truly wants to change to become a better person, He will work with you!  I found some old prophecies I'm going to upload.  I think this is more so for the unbelievers...I don't know, just being led. 

Well...on another note...I cut all my hair off! So I may need to change that picture! :)
Y'all be blessed... :-D
