The Best Condom!

Me at two years old..

Two year old Kimberly: *Walks up to stove and proceeds to touch the hot stove*

Parents: "NOOO! Kimberly don't touch it!" *Runs over to stop child*

Me: *Looks at them like their crazy* *Touches hot stove anyways* ....*Starts screaming and crying*

Parents: "Kimberly! We told you not to touch it because we knew you would hurt yourself! Listen to us next time! *Grabs, kiss child's hand, and puts a bandade on scar*

Our heavenly Father is like our parents. When we were younger, we wanted to touch the HOT stove, but our parents said NOOO IT WILL HURT IT and LEAVE SCARS! DO NOT TOUCH! The same applies to God. He tells us to not have sex or any sexual activity outside of marriage in hopes of  protecting us because He cares 1000000000000x more than your earthly parents ever could. He sees the things that could potentially happen to us if we go down that path. He wants to protect us from the scars that will appear due to disobeying Him by having sex outside of marriage.

Safe sex is sex in the confines of marriage. This is the truest form of safe sex. Does a condom protect you from your feelings getting hurt?......Sex is such an interesting topic and our culture is obsessed with it. We are constantly being bombarded with billboards, tv shows, and music that portray sex as this very coveted intimacy between two people.

In our culture, one's virginity, girls and guys, are no longer held to be sacred. Casually sleeping together with individuals has become the new normal and frankly this is very sad and my heart mourns for this generation. Our generation downplays the beauty of sex and just focuses on the physical part. Sex is intended to be physical, mental and spiritual!

People have this pre-conceived notion (I once held this belief) that God hates sex and that He is forbidding me to have fun and enjoy something that is an innate desire of mine. Let's stop right here! THIS IS FALLLLLLSSSSSEEEEE!

You see, what people fail to realize is that God loves sex! I meannnn He created it! It is one of God's most precious gifts that He gave to us humans to enjoy. A whole book of the Bible (Song of Solomon) was dedicated to the erotic passion a married couple experienced within their time of intimacy with eachother. Sex is the combining of two persons so that they become one flesh (Ephesians 5:31).

What God does not like and actually hates is premarital sex. He hates EVERYTHING that has to do with sexual immorality outside of marriage. If you have to second guess yourself if a particular sexual act counts as sexual immorality, most likely, 100% it probably is.

"But Kimberly, UGHHHH why does God not want me to have sex now while I am young? I have needs" , you may be saying to yourself. Well..I thought these same things at a point in time. What I have learned over the years and through revelation is that God simply just wants the best for you because you are His beloved child! He advises us not to have sex outside of marriage because He is veryyyy aware of all of the damage it produces when we do it outside of the way He set it up.

Even if you do not necesarrily have physical sex but do other things that would be considered sinful in the sight of God, it still leaves emotional scars and He is aware of the baggage that is left over after the relationship. He is aware of all of the heartache and tears. He is aware of the unhealthy soul ties that were created. He is aware of the countless nights you cried yourself to sleep and how those tears turned into bitterness and hatred. He is aware of the possible diseases that can be contracted. He is aware of the potential children that can come forth out of wed-lock. He is aware of the unnecessary drama and the shame it brings.

 Everything God does is out of complete love. Jesus came to the earth so that we might have life and have it more abundantly; that we might live a life of freedom. God is not about religion. In my opinion He hates religion and rules that constrict us like chains. He wants people to live in His freedom and with His help and guidance, pursue Him with everything they have. That being said, don't get so caught up. If you have fallen into sexual sin or any other sin for that matter, repent, ask God for help and begin a new path!!! God is waiting with open arms!

Even if you are not a virgin or have committed sexual sin, God is more than able and willing to forgive. Regardless of our past, He works EVERYTHING for our good (Romans 8:28). Make a covenant with God today to wait to experience the ultimate joy He has for you and your future husband/wife today. Satan wants to trick you into thinking that having sex out of marriage is A-OK and that it will not hurt you. The lies he tells!!!!! EVERYTHING Satan says is a LIEEE! He tricks us into thinking a condom is safe sex. We must be mindful to read between the lines and realize the trickery that is being played right before our eyes.

Just wait! Patience is a virtue, waiting will never hurt you :) Remember, the safest sex is within marriage and the BEST CONDOM IS MARRIAGE! Jesus loves you unconditionally!

Yes, I'll Rock your Promise Ring!

When I was younger, my mother would always ask me if I wanted a promise ring. A promise ring is a ring you wear that is a reminder to yourself and a promise to God to not have sex outside of marriage. Everytime she asked me, I declined because I felt like they were WACK. Why did I need a ring that would bound me to not fornicate? I felt like I didn't need one...

I love reading Heather Lindsey's blogs . If you have not had a chance to check her out, I'd advise you to. Here it is! Heather's blog. She owns a boutique entitled the " Pinky Promise Boutique" and she sells apparel/jewelery that is designed for women to wear who want wear something that represents Jesus. I was browsing the ring category and stumbled across this floated ring (there is no connecting piece in the front, but it is connecting by the back) and I immediately fell in love with it, so I purchased it :P

I received it today and I am soooo pumped lol! I opened my package expecting just the ring, but it came in this cute, little pink bag. Inside this pink bag was a "My Pinky Promise" Card.

This car reads as follows: " My promise is to always honor Jesus Christ with my life and my body. Whether single or married, I am content with my portion and I trust God's perfect timing concerning my life. I refuse to get into unhealthy emotional or physical relationships; instead I focus on developing my relationship with Jesus Christ and I mediate on Romans 12:1 daily. "

Romans 12: 1 reads,  "And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him."

I did not realize this was a promise ring, so I was kind of confused when I pulled this card out because I previously hated these types of ring meanings. However, I believe I am in a different place and space in my life at this point so I was eager to sign this promise card. In one of Heather Lindsey's blogs, she talks about foreplay (kissing touching, etc ya'll get it ) being a form of sexual immorality. It's important to set boundaries with the person you are courting so you will not fall into sin. 

Even though this ring is simply just a ring, it means so much to me. This ring signifies me being content with my portion that God has given me in this season of my life. Also, this ring signifies my promise to honor God with my body because it is the temple of God. You may be like, "omg I have not honored God with my body". Well the great thing about God is that He is always ready with open arms and ready for you to change your life around. Start today with honoring God with your body. If you have a signifanct other and you all are committing sexual sin, then choose today to stop and honor God with your bodies! 

I decided to be content in my singleness and praise God! When God does bring my Adam to me, my prayer is to not kiss him till my wedding. Am I crazy for this? Perhaps, but I have been convicted by God that what I have done in the past is not acceptable so why not try God's way this time around? I have done it my way for so long and my relationships keep FAILING. Why not please Him? I mean...He created us for His glory? Am I right or am I right? It's never to late to be forgiven by God. Present your body to God as a living sacrifice, one that is holy and acceptable. Care to join me?
