Edit// I hesitate to write entries like this, because I don't want to mislead any of you into thinking I'm "perfect" when it comes to this area of life. I've been in several emotional relationships with guys, and at the time I was giving a little piece of my <3heart<3 to them (As weird as this sounds, it's like I took back those broken pieces and now my heart is whole again...) But I've learned so much and I've grown from those experiences, so I don't regret them. Just do your best to guard your heart...but I know it's easier said than done!
I was tempted to make this entry private, but I decided against it. Maybe it'll encourage someone...*shrug* (Though I won't make it terribly mushy-gushy since this is a public site that ANYONE has access to. Which is kinda creepy when you think about it...) Here goes...
Disclaimer: I know there are some of you who probably won't agree with what I'm going to say, and that's fine! I'm not saying you're a horrible person if you don't have the same views! I just feel led to write out my thoughts here in my own journal.
Darling did you know that I dream about you,
And Darling did you know that I pray about you,
Praying that you will hold on
Keep your loving eyes only for me
Because I am waiting for, praying for you
Wait for me too, wait for me as I wait for you
Did you know I dream about life together
Knowing you will be forever.
I'll be yours and you'll be mine.
And Darling when I say, "till death do us part",
I'll mean it with all of my heart, now and always faithful to you -RSJ
This might sound hopelessly mushy, but several times recently I've thought about my future husband--wherever he is or whoever he may be. Only God knows! It's so exciting knowing/hoping he's out there right now...somewhere. Possibly in high school doing hwork tonight. Or maybe in college chillin' with some of his buddies this evening.
Sure, I'd like a boyfriend right now but obviously the timing isn't right. I'm NOT saying I'm not going to date in the future. (But right now, I'm only 17. What's the point, really?) Before I become somebody's girlfriend I want to be close friends with him first. I'm not planning to just be like "hey you're cute, and we like each other so I'll be your gf!" No.
Geez this is longer than I had planned. Let me close by just encouraging you to do your BEST to stay pure for your future husband/wife. Everyone makes mistakes, but at least try. And if you're the praying type, say a prayer for your future husband/wife whenever it crosses your mind. How cool would it be to be able to tell them (once you're engaged or whatnot) "I've been waiting for you all my life...you've been in my prayers since I was *insert age* and I've always loved you, even though I didn't know you." Or something romantic like that.  (wow, I'm such a girl! heh) Maybe you even want to write a hand-written note to your future "the one" which you could eventually give them.  ...
If you hold out (I don't just mean sexual abstinence) for your future husband/wife, I'm sure they will be incredibly thankful and blessed! You can't go wrong. And if you think about it, in the long run you have nothing to lose by waiting.
"If you're saving yourself for me, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart; I'm so appreciative if that's the case. If you messed up in the past, I'll love you any way. But try hard, babe." -AE |

That's an awesome, encouraging post. 
and it'll be so great knowing that when the time comes, I'll be giving my whole heart to the "one"- it won't be chipped and in pieces from giving it to other guys and having myself torn and broken. if that makes any sense. i think it's like when you give your heart to all different guys in unserious dating relationships, it's like they nibble on the cookie (your heart) and when the time comes, you have a chewed on, and maybe broken cookie to give instead of a whole cookie. 
hmm, that sounds so strange now... - silly
thank you for the encouragement, once again. and i love that song. i might have to steal the lyrics and post them on my site.
