Round and Round
So I'm in Dallas- it's Spring break for me and all. I get to Dallas and have this "interesting" conversation with my father and my brother where they find out that I'm still a virgin. They didn't know- just assumed that I'd had sex before since everyone else in the family has. And of course, in the grand history of men everywhere, they give me a hard time about it. And I'm letting them know that I'm waiting until I get married. They are telling things that I can do that are "like" sex but not actually sex and I'm like, nah, I'm chillin. This conversation goes on for the rest of the day. It's like people have this perception that virgins don't want to have sex or there's something wrong with them because they haven't. I'm here to tell you that this is not the case- we have desires just like everyone else. I know for me, there have been plenty of times where I've planned to go down that road, and (sometimes MIRACULOUSLY) something would happen and it wouldn't go down. And now that I've settled it within myself that I'm not going to have sex before marriage, it gets harder. It's like the enemy knows the resolve that I have in that area and he's trying to see how far he can push me until I fall. I pray I don't! There are some other things that go along with this conversation that I will wait to discuss another day.
