True Love Waits

Tyler has just completed a study program in Youth Group titled

'True Love Waits"

It is so much more than the name would suggest. We would assume that this would be all about abstinence, purity, and marriage. Yes, this is true. Oh, but there is so much more...

Tyler, along with MANY other teens pledged to wait until marriage to have sex. Even then...they pledged not to engage in sexual relations unless their hearts were right with God. They pledged not to claim their needs over another person (even their wedded spouse). Wow, this is Huge! You may not be able to grasp the enormity of this. We, who were witnesses to this ceremony, were indeed awed by their commitment. What you see on this board are their public commitments to honor those they are in relationships with (now or in the future). There was a very solemn ring ceremony where the parents placed purity rings on the ring fingers of their children. These rings will be given to their future spouses as a vow to honor God.

At the same time, Tyler and I are signed up for the "Walk For Life". This is a local fundraiser for the Center For Life Choices, where a young woman can go to receive free pregnancy testing , prenatal counseling , ultrasound and medical treatment, free of charge. The Center exists to provide medical treatment, counseling and adoption referrals. If you would like to sponsor me or Tyler~~just let us know. All donations are, of course, tax deductible.
