God has recently revealed to me my passion.
My heart burns for purity.
I don't know how it took me so long to realize. When I look back, I see that God has been beating me over my head with this my whole life. Talk about an "aha moment." I want to bring purity back into society. I want purity to be an accomplishment, not something teens try to hide at the risk of public ridicule.
My heart breaks when purity is lost.
About a week ago, an ex-friend ended up giving her virginity to her boyfriend of a month. This girl was a friend that I went to church with. We both wear purity rings. We would spend nights talking about God's plans for our lives and the paths he's out us on. We would discuss the importance of not cheapening love or caving into society's pressure to "go with the flow." How it's not "just sex." The friendship ended mutually and peacefully. It was time for both of us to move on. I would still see her at church and school, as was expected. Until one day, I find out about her recent lifestyle change. My heart shattered. This was not just another teenage sleeping around. This was a daughter of God knowingly and willingly abandoning everything she stood for. I took a step back and tried to decide what to do. I thought back to one of Nate's messages during Under the Chuppah. It is our duty to hold members of our church family accountable. She ended up contacting me. I said my whole spiel, calmly and without judgment. She lashed out at me. I knew why she did this, but it still hurt. She then resorted to spreading rumors about me and getting promiscuous teens on her team. I couldn't care less. I was just so heartbroken about her making this stupid mistake. That's when I realized my calling.
I am a warrior for purity.
I refuse to look for love where it does not belong. I will not arouse love when it's not meant to be. I shall not abandon the breathtaking journey my heavenly Father has placed me on. I will face discouragement and continue on. I am thrilled to be able to serve my purpose in Christ.
