Well I'm going to first off start with saying that I'm sorry for not posting on Wednesday and then not on Thursday when on my Google + account I said I would. Just know that I will do my very best to post twice a week and on the dates that I scheduled. :)
We've all heard of or even been the little girls who dressed up in sheets and their mom's shoes, who pretend to walk down the aisle and hum the wedding song. It's pretty cute actually. When my sister and I where little she and I would play Barbies, where my girly little sister dressed up Barbie and played nicely. Of course if it was my choice on what we where playing it would be shooting Hot Wheels off a track. But I did play Ken on the occasion. Well on one particular time when my sister and I where playing we had Ken and Barbie getting married. I don't really remember it, but my mom tells us the story that she happened to walk in on the wedding and instead of us humming the traditional wedding song, we where humming the Star Wars imperial march. Aren't kids the best? Any who, I wanted to talk about relationships and really just how kids view them as well as adults. Let's start out with Elementary School kids; one boy said in response to when someone should date someone else, "I'm going to get me a girl when I get out of Kindergarten". This is also very cute, and a tad bit concerning. That even little kids are jumping on the idea of dating. I think this is mainly because of our culture, of wanting to do things as soon as possible. For example, one main thing people don't wait for is their first kiss. It's mainly because in media we see people who have their first kiss as early as the 4th or 5th grade! And really kissing is just the beginning to all the other things people can't wait for. And when people don't wait for certain things it can really hurt them in the end. And one of these things is sex before marriage. All of these things are very fresh in my mind since I just went to a Relationship Retreat this weekend for my church. Which is what inspired me to write this. And the main point I'm trying to make is to wait. Waiting for things makes things so much better. One story I'm going to tell was told to me at this retreat. It was one of a boy who always had to open his Christmas presents before Christmas. He would open all of them, play with them, and sometimes even break them. Which all of this really ruined the excitement of Christmas and when he opened up his presents that he had re-wrapped that morning it wasn't as meaningful as it could of been. This is the same thing for sex, that if we save it for that special person it's going to be so much better. And this is really for a lot of other things to. Like the saying says "Good things come to those who wait". Of course people have made mistakes and have done things they regret. But I'm not quite finished with the story... One particular Christmas the boy's mother had known that he had opened up his main present and broken it. So without him knowing she had bought him a brand spanking new one and gave it to him for Christmas, when he really didn't deserve it. And in our lives this "mother" is actually our "Father", God. All we have to do is ask for forgiveness and we can be pure again, even though we don't deserve it. And he does this because he loves us, in Exodus 34:6 it says, And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness".
