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,

Yes Sarahlynn I SRUGGLE big time. I keep praying an having a hard time thinking i will find that person who loves me and god. Im in my head 247 an sometimes its hard to talk to anybody, but god about it. But i feel that he doesnt give me the answer i want to hear. You dont understand how stuck i am at times an just want to give up an just be a man whore. Because that would make me happy at the moment, but not happy in the long run. I pray an talk to god about it everyday. I was told to keep believing in him an the person im looking for will walking right into my life....
