Yeah! Maybe you could get married first – that might work!
Isn’t it silly that this is the way it used to be for most – and now you feel like an odd ball?
Don’t feel like an odd ball! Just be YOU!
This is awesome! :)
Good for you. I wish I was still a virgin. I was way too young and I had no idea that sex was such a big deal even though I was raised in a Christian household and was told not to have it before marriage. I wasn’t Christian at that point anyway, so nothing probably would’ve stopped me even if I had waited a little longer. I think that’s what’s great about God though. Even though I’ve messed up, no matter what it is, he still gives us the chance to pick ourselves back up and keep trying.
Also, you seem like a lovely, beautiful Christian woman ! I really admire your dedication here.
I’m waiting…and yes!!! well said! Ps. you have a cute voice A voice that counts! Thanks for sharing
My wife and I were virgins until marriage. We both encourage you with all our heart to continue on the path of righteousness for His name sake.
While I am not normally a fan of slippery slope arguments, in this case I will say it so quickly applies. Good for you to stick to your values and not open pandora’s box.
Great video!
@Ro_ad808 - What about this is a slippery slope argument?
@NightCometh - Sorry I wasn’t clear it’s been a long day. What I meant was that in my experience slippery slope truly applies- give in once it gets harder and harder to resist (and you want more and more); to be cliche- innocence is bliss.
I wish I were still a virgin. I was so silly and stupid back then. It’s been two years since my last time, and I’ve promised to myself that I won’t have sex again until I’m married. Just gotta learn from my past, move on, and try to live better.
Great video.
This was well done. I respect your stance.
It is strange that people are so adverse to virginity. At least, it seems strange to me.
Kudos to you
Ur amazing I agree with ur stance on abstinence
Nice job!
Ug, I would watch this right when I about about to go to bed. I am on-call tomorrow, but really want to come back and comment on this. I really liked this video, more to come later.
@Doubledb - Dude it’s 4 minutes! LOL…okay. Have a good night.
I really respect that. I hope God blesses you soon with a loving Christian husband.
That was brave, but now you have to watch out for dragons and warlocks, who seem to have a penchant for your type.
In truth, problems in most relationships can likely be traced to priority being placed on the physical aspects as opposed to their character, and values.
Good for you! I waited until marriage, too. I do think that is what God wants, but because of Christ, he can renew anyone who is not a virgin. Their value doesn’t lie in whether they’re a virgin or not, but in who they are in Christ.
Very brave. Great video.
Madelyn. I can see what your saying… Earl`s artlclee is great, last wednesday I bought a new audi since getting a check for $7962 thiss month and even more than 10 grand this past munth. it’s definitly the most financially rewarding I’ve ever had. I began this 3 months ago and pretty much straight away startad bringin in more than $75 per/hr. I follow the instructions here, http://www.wow83.com
You seem like you should have a T.V. show for little children
The thought of such a beautiful woman still being a virgin makes my heart…
…and something else…
…ache.
My very best friend is 33 years old and is a virgin for all these same reasons. I am so proud of her, and of you, for the way you take a stance for your faith and live your beliefs.
@NightCometh - ha, not to watch it.. to come up with a longer comment
First, I totally agree with you. Yes, many, if not most, guys to react that way… but also women react a certain way towards men who haven’t had sex, been in a serious relationship, or dated. I am actually more worried by the fact I haven’t dated or been in a serious relationship by 30 than the fact that I am a virgin. Basically, until I have gone out on one or two dates with a female, I do not tell them I dont date much, if ever, because people think there is something wrong with you. Honestly, while I do want to find someone, I have a life I am living and being in the ministry also doesn’t provide me with lots of free time and money to go on lots of extravagant dates.
As far as being a virgin, I think a lot of it has to do with respecting myself and the other person. I respect my beliefs that I should wait, that I want to meet someone who will be my best friend, not just someone to lust over for a while and move onto someone else. I think meaningless sex makes us devalue our self and others, making us into objects instead of real people. Does that make sense?
I have been on OkCupid for a while now and one of the things that really annoy me is when females say they are serious about being a Christian, desire traditional roles (male as head of household), but then when you look at their answers about dating and sex, they are fully willing to have sex after 1-6 dates. I just dont understand that… I mean, if they said they were liberal or even moderate but I dont see how you call yourself traditional but are okay with living like that… some of them also have kids. Now, I can understand people who make mistakes and then love their kids and desire a good relationship, but if you have kids, you should definitely NOT be having sex with more guys after 1-6 dates. I guess I just dont get people. Faith and beliefs are good reasons; however, they are many other reasons to remain a virgin and not have sex before marriage, before a committed and loving relationship.
And that was my longer comment!
Pleased to hear. You have every bit of encouragement I can give this way to maintain that. What if a man were to tell you that several years ago he sinned and … “didn’t wait,” but believes God has forgiven him and has committed to wait from back then on until married? Would you rule such a person out? I ask because I imagine there are a lot in that boat.
@Mark Lotsaguyswiththatname - I’m sure there are many Christian guys out there in that boat. To be honest, of course I want to feel like I’ve waited for someone who cares enough about his future wife to wait also. It’s pretty important to me and I’d like someone who also has valued his body and sexuality in the same way. I realize that I’m probably too old to feel this way, and I’m constantly reminded by people that “no guys are virgins at your age”. I’m sure that very few are. I’m not ruling it out, but I’ve had issues in the past with ‘getting over it’, if that makes sense. I really would not like to be compared to any one. I realize that God may have other plan. I just think it’s a sad thing in our culture that for a woman to be over 30, she has to compromise what is important to her to find a husband.
I hope my heart is soft enough toward God that he could heal me of my weakness here. I realize that He is about forgiveness and so should I be. I just want to feel like my waiting has actually mattered to someone, you know? In a glorious way…not a sad way.
Awesome. Just awesome. And awesomely presented, too! My husband and I (although screwed up in past relationships, and therefore were not virgins… But that was a former life, now dead in Christ) waited til marriage before we had sex. It was amazing the responses we would get! For some, it presented a good opportunity to witness and minister. But many would get upset! One guy actually shoved Michael and screamed at him because he was so mad at Michael for what we were doing. People don’t want to see purity, true beauty, or divine redemption. People don’t want to see goodness because they’re convicted by it.
- My first thought is my usual dumbstruckness at that flawless face; the hair, the eyes, the skin, the features, the smile. My second thought is the admiration of the poise and wit; it continues to put to death the absurd notion that virginity equals vacuousness. My third thought is to equate you with Esther, or Judith, or one of the ladies of history who are known for both their beauty and formidable demeanor. @ImNotUglyIJustNeedLove I get what you’re saying. In one respect, it’s just heinous that somebody this…fantastic…isn’t permitted to be with someone, in the parlance. Heartache is an apt word. In another sense, tho, it falls ‘way short. At it’s crudest level, modern culture is saturated with the impression that of one isn’t getting laid, life is a complete waste. But I hearken back to something much more archaic; reverence. It’s akin to what Dante felt for Beatrice, or Quixote felt for Dulcinea. The thought that in the world there are those among us like her, who are inviolate, resplendent…it’s awesome. She’s a jewel. I wax excessive
Romeo & Juliet, Act 1 Scene 1:
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o’er her fellows shows.
please do more vlogs. this was wonderful!
@galadrielspitcher - Thank you! I just need some solid topics that won’t get me hunted down, drawn, and quartered.
@NightCometh - My first response is to be brought up short at this singluar expresion of esteem. My second response is to have a swelled-up head and a puffed-out chest. My third & successive responses are to have various things recollect themselves to me
In ‘Perelandra’, Ransom is told not to think too highly of his deed.
“Be comforted,” said Malacandra. “It is no doing of yours. You are not great, though you could have prevented a thing so great that Deep Heaven sees it with amazement. Be comforted, small one, in your smallness. He lays no merit on you. Receive and be glad. Have no fear, lest your shoulders be bearing this world. Look! it is beneath your head and carries you.”
And the prophet laments
“See, you trust in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; where on if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.” (Isaiah 36:6)
There’s something Rex Harrison as Pope Julius II says to Charlton Heston as Michelangelo in “The Agony And The Ecstasy”: “I was moved as skillfully as you move your brush.”
You now & then see yourself (as we all see ourselves when beset by affflictions) as being upheld by such flotsam as another’s poor words. I see you as the Good Shepherd’s darling little russet-haired lamb, being tenderly cuddled in His strong Arms.
