temptations

I'm going to start off with a very familiar verse.

Purity

This is a pretty hot topic which I have been thinking about lately. I think you can compare purity to a slippery slide. You think you can put just your toe onto the slide, but next thing you know you are whizzing down a path that is very difficult to backtrack. Purity is also a bit like a bar of soap. It is really hard to hold onto, and seems to want to leap out of your hands at any moment. Really, to effectively guard your purity you need to ask God to look after it for you. Be in tune with Him and listen for when He tells you that you are overstepping the line. There is deep peace and satisfaction in the knowledge that you are bringing joy to your Saviour, as well as those who love you.

time passes

I can hardly believe how long it has been since my last blog post. As I read them, I am confronted with some questions. Am I still the same person I was then? Somehow I doubt it... It's hard to put my finger on what has changed, but it feels as though my outlook on the world is not quite as jaded as it used to be. Sure, I am still a hopeless romantic and an eternal optimist; but maybe I have just experienced so much disappointment that I don't expect quite as much as I did before.
We experience life's lessons for a reason, so I shall just have to take the good with the bad. What is the main lesson that I have learnt during these years? you may ask. Patience. Patience is paramount to getting anything worthwhile in life. Waiting is one of my very weak points, but it's one that God is really working on. All this waiting must mean only one thing... I am in for something totally amazing!
