Trendy for Jesus

love & purity (7.17.16)

thank you guys for all the love on my last post!! I appreciate it sooooo much !!

God has really blessed me with all of ya'll

I'm going to North Carolina with my cousins in a few days and I'd really like prayer, because of the racism going on up there (I've seen a post about the KKK and whatnot up there so I'm a little paranoid). so please keep my safety in your prayers!

and secondly, I'm thinking of continuing my book "Christian" but I need to know if ya'll would still read it??? I'm re-plotting it rn bc I didn't write down what I had planned before and I've totally forgotten it

and I wanted to start another story but I need to finish that one first so just comment below if you'd read it!!

and now onto the devotion!

So I'm only 15, and there's not a lot I can do at my age (besides get my learner's permit), but people at my school seem to think otherwise. They constantly talk about sex and pleasure and all this stuff and I'm like ok but ya'll are like ten!! they claim to be too young to fall in love with Jesus and too busy to spend time with him but will make time to make a girl fall into their arms.

I'm guilty ya'll. I claim I don't have the time for Jesus when I do! I'm not struggling with purity or anything (I used to when I went to public school, but I'm not gone get into that 😬), I've told myself I'm not dating until college and I'm not having sex until marriage, unless God says otherwise (about the dating thing, not the sex thing lol I already know what he says about pre-marital sex).

I'm kinda scared tho, because I set all these morals but I'm afraid if someone pressures that I'll give in too easily. (I do that a lot; I'm not proud of it)

I've actually done it before! a guy told me he was dared to ask me out but he actually ended up falling for me. mind you, I had no feelings for this guy, but since he was so obsessed w me, I was so clouded by the reality that someone liked me, that someone had a crush on me that I "fell" for him. I say "fell" because I only liked him because he like me. and I wasn't allowed to date, so we were like boyfriend and girlfriend who weren't dating.

I feel like that's why no guys have approached me since then, because God's still trying to mold me and shape me into the strong independent woman he wants me to be. So I won't be so easy to say "yes" so quickly or I might fall for the wrong guy.

quick prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I pray you make me strong and mold me in to the man/woman you want me to be, Lord. I pray that you help me to consult you before I just make a decision that could either make me or break me. I pray this in your precious son Jesus' name, amen.

don't forget to tell me if you guys want to read my stories!! comment below 👇🏿

much love, tika 💞
