Abstinence Stories

Poem from my repertoire, entitled Symptoms and Disguises of Happiness.

He's used to getting what he wants-charm, conquest, instant gratification. She's never been kissed, determined to wait for the right person. When he meets Clara, everything changes. For the first time, he cannot take what he desires. Her strength, patience, and unwavering boundaries challenge him to become a better man-and to love fully, deeply, and selflessly. From first sparks to a heartfelt proposal, from their wedding day to welcoming a child, their journey is one of patience, devotion, and a love worth waiting for. "Eyes That Captured Forever" is a sweeping romance about first kisses, lifelong promises, and the transformative power of true love.

Not everything is as it appears at Hogwarts this year. Andrea Rose is the reigning Princess of Slytherin, and it is no surprise that she has a long and sordid history with the infamous Draco Malfoy. After years of resistance, Andrea finds herself falling for him. But their romance is far from a fairytale. Jealous classmates and disapproving family members go to the most manipulative and despicable means to keep them apart. And they just might succeed.

What happens if Christians practice sex before marriage?

Hepzibah wants to love God with all her heart, but loneliness leaves her vulnerable. When Ezra steps into her life-charming, caring, and everything she thought she wanted-she finds herself torn between her faith and her feelings. Will she choose desire, or the peace that only comes from God?

This is my own opinion. Whether you hate it or agree with it, I don't mind. Kung naranasan mo na ring mapagtawanan dahil sa paniniwala mo , rejoice for God has seen you . John 15:8 If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.

Don't you ever get tired of knowing? -------------------------------------------------- Take a leap of faith and read it. ? I've been told this story is extremely cliché so beware

On y est voici ma 1ère semaine sans alcool ! Qu'est-ce que c'est au fond 1 semaine sans alcool? C'est une semaine où on se choisit, où on laisse place petit à petit à d'anciens rituels/choix néfastes pour sa santé, contre de nouveaux bon pour la santé. Tant mentale que physique. Qu'est ce qui a changé concrètement ? Je dirai que pour le moment j'ai beaucoup de mal à m'endormir mais ensuite je dors très bien. J'ai troqué ma bière du soir contre un thé ou une tisane. Le truc que j'ai remarqué c'est que j'ai par moments de fortes envies de sucres. L'alcool m'ayant fait prendre beaucoup de poids je fais attention. Forcément je n'ai plus ma « dose » de sucre habituelle présente dans la boisson. Donc je m'autorise de temps en temps un soda, un gâteau ou deux. Je vais réduire aussi petit à petit. Mais en contre partie le fait de prendre soin de mon corps sans le noyer dans le poison que représente l'alcool à mes yeux désormais, m'aide à faire des choses qui sont bonnes pour la santé. Comme marcher, faire des étirements et des exercices de musculation, ou encore méditer. Je savais que je pouvais y arriver mais je ne savais pas que par moments ce serait si dur. Aujourd'hui tout ce qui compte pour moi c'est de ne plus faire entrer ce poison dans mon corps, boire plus d'eau, manger sainement le plus possible, bouger mon corps. Me sentir en vie. Je me suis aussi remise au dessin. Je commence à ne plus associer jeux et alcool. Bref que de belles choses et j'ai hâte de vous raconter la suite :)

Sirens only mate once... and it's a matter of life and death. Love is a word that means oppression to sirens. But when Iridessa begins falling for the human she's supposed to kill... everything changes. • • • Sirens were created then cast aside by one man, his name a curse in Iridessa's world. He made them ugly, useless, unable to care for themselves. But they adapted. And they conquered. Men are on the menu for Iridessa's pod, those they don't mark for mating with the pearls embedded in their hips. You see, sirens only mate once in their lifetime, and once they choose a mate, they must wait until his body is ready for hers--and kill him. Iridessa has finally marked her mate, a strikingly pale male with white hair. But when she finally finds him, he's not at all like what her pod told her men were like. Men are supposed to be rough and callous and treat women like filth, but Elijah... He's the most gentle person she's ever met. After striking a deal with the young Prince Elijah, Iridessa knows she'll be in hot water if her pod finds out, but it isn't long until their hearts start to beat as one. She can't--she won't spill his blood. Not killing a man after mating is punishable by death. The clock is ticking. And death is just around the corner. • • • When tides rise, we hold our breath. • • • Complete [[part 1: ripple word count: 45,000-50,000]] [[part 2: swell word count: 50,000-55,000]] [[part 3: crest word count: 45,000-50,000]] [[part 4: crash word count: 45,000-50,000]] [[total word count: 195,000-200,000]]
