Sex...Sex...Sex...

Lets talk about sex...shall we. On Saturday night I went to church and it simply amazing how God just knows me all to well. Anyways, the topic at church was single and sex...there was some other stuff in there as well, but for me sex and single was what related to my current situation.

As I sat in the chair listening to the woman on stage talking about being 40, single, and enjoying every minute of it. I couldn't help but say you're full of it!!!!

There is no hiding that people having sex before marriage is considered "wrong" amongst the Christian community. However, the church is really good at pretending like its an easy thing to accomplish...waiting till marriage that is to have sex. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying go out and sex it up...what I'm saying is lets stop sugar coating it and lets start being real. I don't care who you are...if you have tasted the fruit at all ...ya want the fruit again. And there within lies the STRUGGLE!!!!

As this woman at church went on to say how she loved being single and how she "hears" sex is good in marriage that is. I wanted to say...who the heck is this encouraging? I don't feel refreshed or encouraged...I feel like she is either lying to me or to herself or maybe both. In the Bible Paul writes "but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion." 1 Corithians 7:9
I promised on this blog to always be real to myself and to you all. So here it goes...if I had been up on that stage it would have gone a little something like this....

Yes I'm almost 30...Yes I'm Single...and Yes I struggle!!!! I wake up every day Praising God for a beautiful day. I laugh a lot, I hang out with my friends, and work really hard. However, I come home to a lot of things My daughter, My family and my household duties await. So I'm busy..I stay busy for a reason. The nights can be lonely...and temptation is always around the corner. But does that stop me from walking in my faith..Heck NO. Does that cause me to question where I am at in my life and what God is doing in my life...Heck NO.

It does however cause me to say...I like cuddling...I like kissing...I like physical closeness and I like sex. From that I conclude...being single sucks sometimes. Its really really hard and I struggle. GOOD NEWS IS.....God Loves ME anyways!!!! He loves my heart, my mind, my soul and my everything. So in those nights that are lonely or those times that temptation is right around the corner...I have His love to hold on too.

I hope if you're reading this and you struggle with any of the same topics I wrote about...you feel encouraged. Encouraged to know you are NOT alone in struggles and you are not alone in the loneliness of the night. Be encouraged to know that some where there maybe a man or a woman that prays for you and hopes to one day share in the beauty of marriage with you. And if that person never comes be Encourage to know God understands your Struggles and Loves You anyways.

 God bless my married friends that did wait...I cannot tell you how proud of you I am.

In HIS Grip,

Sarahlynn

Welcome

Oh how should I start this blog...Well my name is Sarahlynn I am a Christian woman doing my best to live my life for God. Some days are easier then others...I'm about to be 30 and I have found my biggest struggle is waiting on God for "Mr. Right" I decided to write this blog not only to document where I see God working in my life through out the next year...but also I hope to encourage and maybe connect with other women who have the same struggles as I do. I can promise you that I am in no way PERFECT and I would never claim to be...but through Jesus I am Loved.

So, here are my goals for this blog to not date for at least 6 months and lean on God in those moments of struggle, loneliness and temptation. There will be a lot of prayer during this time..cause summer is coming and a girl just wants to have fun right! Either way here is what I have done to prepare myself for this...I have blocked a lot of numbers...ever wake up in the morning and have text from guys you haven't talk to in awhile and go...hmmm wonder what they were hoping for at 2am!!! I have told my dear friends to hold me accountable and like I said before I have gone to prayer about this a lot.

If you ever have questions or comments I welcome them and encourage all women to stand up for themselves and wait on God.

God Bless Beautiful Woman of God!!!
