Welcome to the '10s everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful new year celebration ( Read more... )

To start with, I'm still single and happy with that at the time being.  I do still like the guy I talked about in my last entry, and that's become kind of interesting.  First, we've become good friends and I feel content with that for now, even though the romantic feelings are there.  Second, I told my mom that I like him.  I've never, ever told my ( Read more... )

Wow, I haven't updated in forever!  I guess I haven't really had much to update with, though ( Read more... )

I wanted to write about this a little before bed.

We remain chaste before we're married by abstaining from sex, but how do we remain chaste after we're married?  Is there such a thing?

Yes, there is such a thing as being chaste after marriage, and I think you'll be happy with the answer.  Being chaste after marriage includes having sex and being ( Read more... )

This is a list I made about a year ago of things I want in a future husband:

-He is a Christian (He loves God more than anything and aims to follow Jesus as much as possible)
-He believes in saving sex for marriage (I know people make mistakes, and I wouldn't turn down a guy if he wasn't a virgin, but it's important to me that he thinks waiting is ( Read more... )

Some days when I think about marriage I get excited and can't wait.  Other days I feel nervous and just completely not ready.  Today was the latter.  I still want to get married, of course, but when I think about it I get scared.  I feel too young.  I guess what I'm really afraid of is my single years passing too quickly.  I feel it's important to ( Read more... )

I think I wrote about this before, but I wanted to talk about how I got started with the whole "no dating until I'm ready to get married" thing.

Growing up I watched my older cousins date, saw people dating on TV and in movies, and the older I got, the more my friends would talk about it.  I just sort of assumed it was what you did when you became a ( Read more... )

Today I'm having that feeling where I wish I was married.  Sex is usually only part of it.  I want the companionship, the closeness, someone to talk to and share my feelings with.  Sometimes I wish I could just fast forward through life for a while.  But then I would be missing a lot of the good stuff, wouldn't I?  I remember being about 10 or 11 ( Read more... )

After not writing in here for several months, I decided to change things up a bit.  Before it seemed like a lot of my focus was writing my opinions about different things.  I want this journal to become more personal now.  Since I'm still nowhere near marriage it can be hard to find things to write about, so I'll mostly be sharing just day to day ( Read more... )

In the Facebook group we've been having some discussions about boundaries.  Here are some of my thoughts after reading the discussions.

How far is too far?
It shouldn't be "how far?" but "how pure?"  We should try to push the limits, to see how far we can go without crossing the line.  We should see how much we can save for marriage.  How much do I ( Read more... )
