Hey friends!
Again, here is another testimony. Take a read as, “Sandi” shares her story. In it you will find that she gives a candid look at the importance of purity, yet from a different perspective. Although the stories vary, we still serve the same God. As you read, again our prayer is that you are encouraged in the knowledge that even in the midst of having to travel an unimaginable road, God is still able to lead you through and manifest victory. Keep surviving family! God loves YOU!
Sandi’s Story:
Hello Chastity Belt
I embrace chastity and celibacy because of my own life.(I know this is opposite) but I never got a chance to save my virginity because it was take from me at such a young age by a family member. (my father) this went on until I was removed from his home at 9 years of age. Even having gone through what I did as a child, it only drove me into more sexual inhibitions, had I known I could be better if I practiced celibacy I would have done all I could never to have sex before I found the right God fearing man for my life and to marry. During my college years that old past came back to haunt me again(date rape) and again I felt God was nowhere in the equation. When I decided to give my life over to God(of course I never knew He had it all along) I was at the bottom of the way I was living my life. I have 2 teenage daughters, and I try my best not to share those horrible memories with them because I pray that they will keep their virginity and practice abstinence for as long as they can. I love them with such a GREAT BIG HEART. I want to keep them encouraged that no one. I do mean NO ONE should ever have to make you feel you have to do anything you don’t want to do. I pray that you will share this on your blog, only because some of us had no choice in their own lives to choose Abstinence… As an adult married 16years this year, I look back and thank God that I never let my horrible past affect too much of my future.(God is still working on me) Im happy that I chose life and I will live and not die!
Thanks for letting me share!!!
Hey friends! This week, we wanted to take time to share a testimony from one of our readers. Our prayer is that something shared would bless you and encourage you in your pursuit of living a chaste life. Thanks to Ada (@AdaOrie1) for selflessly sharing her story.
Ada’s Story:
I am 31 and very proud to say I am a virgin. I am in a place in my life where I can say I am very proud of my virginity. I used to see it as a scarlet letter but now I know better. As a child, I was raised as a Presbyterian. I was told by my Nigerian born parents I better not have sex before marriage. I was afraid to have sex. When my relationship got more authentic with God, I decided to keep my virginity for my husband. Yes many people made fun of me and told me I was missing out. Some guys said I had a steal chastity belt with many locks & bolts. My focus was on being a straight A student and going to college.
When I got to college, I lived on campus. I had a boyfriend and we never had sex but came very close. We eventually broke up. The funny thing is we were both Christians. The reason we cam close because for almost six months I slept in the same twin sized bed as he did and what is the good of that? Word of caution to anyone who thinks they are the exception to rule. If you play with fire, you will get burned. Keep yourself out of situations where you will compromise yourself. You should not spend the night with someone of the opposite sex. You should not be alone with someone of the opposite sex when it is dark. You should never be on the phone late at night. Phone calls, late night visits and slumber parties can turn into sex. I have heard countless stories of former virgins who touched fire and played with it until they got burned.
I am not completely innocent. When I was child, I was forced to do something sexually against my will. When I was a teenager I was almost sexually assaulted. I am a human being and I have needs. I have learned to stay in God’s word and do things like working out, reading and more. I have also done some things I am not proud of but believe me I am very intact. When I see my GYN yearly, it is shock to them and they ask me so many questions. One doctor asked me if I liked men and I said yes but I am not married.
I am saving my virginity for my husband. My heart has been broken but I have never been devastated as someone who was having sex. Sex is an expression of love between two married people. When you have sex, you link yourself to someone forever. That is why you have to be careful who you give your virginity to and talk to God. God knows everything about everyone. He will guide and protect us. Being a virgin is an honor. God trusted me with something so sacred. I am looking to God as I continue on this quest. I do know everyday I wake up know I am disease free and my heart is full of love for God and my life. There is so much more to life than sex.
If you are a virgin or celibate, know God will continue to honor you. If you are having sex outside of marriage, my prayer is you will talk to God about your relationship and ask God to guide you. The key to my being a strong virgin is staying in God’s word and being around family and friends who accept & support my quest. It makes a difference if you have people who support you. God is very faithful and I love him.
