My mother, my pimp...

My mother is my pimp:-) I mean that in the cleanest, 'goodest' way possible! Lol... I say she's my pimp because she "sells" me at every chance! She's so proud of me that she wants all her friends and all her colleagues to meet me... THAT's special and I truly appreciate her for knowing the worst of me and still "flaunting" me.

I've always loved watching fathers love their daughters and this morning I just realised that although I didn't grow up with my dad, my mom has loved me all my life and I truly have been spoilt in that regard.

God's Love for me was amplified and revealed a bit more to me this morning as I thought about how my mom - a human being - loves me. Lord, how You Love me! I bless Your name. I thank You for loving me before I loved You... thank You for loving me so much that You gave Your very best - Your Son, Jesus - just for me. To save me. To redeem me.

"If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!" - Matthew 7: 11 (AMP)

I adore You Abba Father

Sex... the thing I'm expected to view as sin until my wedding night when it transforms to 'a beautiful thing'

I recently read a blog on "Sex and the Christian woman". Brilliantly written from the perpective of a virgin Christian woman who admits to thinking about sex.

I've wanted so much to pen smething on this topic and like her, have deleted - changed titles and shelved it... That is, until I read her piece.

I found it to be a beautifully written piece! Frank... Truthful... Sincere... It definitely 'hit the spot';-)

I was telling an older male colleague just yesterday about how difficult it is to be a beautiful, young single Christian woman (yes, I AM aware I'm beautiful!).

It doesn't help when, unlike the writer, you have experienced the 'sinful pleasure' of premarital sex before finally giving in to Christ's Love and deciding to pursue holiness and purity until marriage. Yes, I'm madly inlove with my Jesus and yes, I have moments when I have to fight off the insane cravings my body has! It doesn't help when you're pursued by (dare I say) hot, young (and old), good-looking men every other day while all the eligible Christian brothers steer clear and give you side hugs while they continue 'seeing (wo)men as trees'!

I know I could secretely engage in habitual sexual sin and I know I could just stop fighting my body's desires and give in but I choose to pursue purity in Christ while I wait to be 'found' by hubby dearest! It's really tough being a single Christian woman when it comes to sex... I'm not supposed to think about it, see? Nevermind want it!

I'm supposed to shy away from 'married women conversation' at Christian sisters' bridal showers when what I really want to do is also wear that sexy nightdress she's just been bought 'for the wedding night' and 'teach her a thing or two' in preparation for her 'Big Night' - yes, I said it...

I'm blood-washed, converted, sanctified, redeemed, ransomed, the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and I revell in the love my God has for me and I crave to see all people's eyes unveiled to the gift of salvation but yes, sex features in my thoughts more times than I care to admit or I'm allowed to admit!

So, in the mean time, while God's perfect plan for my life unfolds... I pray and wait...
