Why the Blog?

I guess you're wondering why a blog about the fresh side of romance. Well, here it goes. This blog is for those who get a little lonely and feel like they have to settle for less than what they deserve or feel like they have to give in to sexual pressures. I can remember, when I was younger, I loved to read romance novels. I could purchase one on Friday evening and by Saturday morning, I had completed the book. Why? The spirit of lust was so heavy in those books that it drove me to read page after page until the book was completed. Then I wanted to call someone and play out some of the scenes in the book. I am not proud of it, but that is what happened. Oh yeah, I considered myself to be a christian then, too.

As I matured, I realized that this was not cool. We (christians) need to be able to read about love and it's possibilities without all of the promiscuity. We also need to be able to confide in someone when we feel like we are about to slip into an area that we know God would not and does not approve of. For this reason, I decided to start this blog. I know that this will not meet the approval of some super saints, but for those of us who will admit to ourselves that we have a problem, this is for you. It's okay. We are not perfect, but our goal is to strive for perfection. My hope is that you will see love in a different, more pure way. Once you do, it will change your whole outlook on love.

My prayer is that this blog will help someone deal with some of the everyday pressures that they are faced with. Please feel free to leave a comment.

A Gift

Gazing into his eyes, I can see exactly why I am supposed to wait on the Lord. I could not have picked a better mate if I tried. His smile is infectious. His eyes sparkle, not with the intent of having his way with me. They sparkle because he knows that God has given him everything he has been searching for wrapped up in one beautiful package.

He doesn't have to prove he's a man by saying harsh words and waving his fist in the air. He's secure in himself and what he knows. God has given him yet another gift to unwrap on his wedding night. His thoughts become clear, then a single tear emerges from his eye.
