I am an amazing girl

This is to guys that are looking for a date but can't find one.

Let me tell you about myself:

1. I am 21 years old but I look like I'm 12

2. I love all kinds of music. If you want to know what my favorite is, you are going to have to take me out on a date.

3. I know I look 10 in my facebook pic but I was really 14

4. I am LDS Latter Day Saint

5. I go to college.

6. I want to do something in the Healthcare field. I'm not exactly sure yet.

7. Someday I want to get married, and have kids. And live in the country with lots of land

8, My favorite type of TV shows are comedies from the 90s (Saved by the Bell, Smart Guy, Sister Sister Step by Step, Full House etc.)

9. I like to learn about new things. I think we learn about something everyday.

10. I am not going to have sex, until  I am married. If you are a guy and, think you are going to get it on with me, keep stepping. I am chaste. Don't even think about asking me or pressuring me. Yes I may have temptations but that is not going to work. I know we all have sexual desires, and I have them too but we are going to have to be patient.

What I Learned about Forgiveness!

At Sunday school I teach a Sunday school class called sunbeams. The sunbeams a for children who are 3 turning 4. Today we had to teach them about forgiveness.

I was reading in the dictionary the 4th definition of forgiveness and, it says "to cease to feel resentment against."

I felt like Heavenly Father answered my prayers today. For years I had resentment towards my father for the hurt he did for my family. And I tried to forgive for the pain he has cost but the reason why it was hard for me to forgive him was because I didn't understand what forgiveness was. Until today when I taught my Sunday school class and, those little sunbeams did not know what forgiveness was so I helped break it down and, I guess the spirit had the thought to my head and, I said "Forgiveness is when you just stop being mad at someone and, move on." They understood it clearly. I was struck. I can't believe I said that but I didn't know what forgiveness meant until today. I went straight home and, looked in the dictionary and, forgiveness. So it says "to cease to feel resentment against."

Forgiveness is very hard thing to do but with Heavenly Fathers help he can help you learn to forgive. He does answer prayers. He answered my prayer today. I woke up thinking forgiveness was excusing someone's behavior but tonight I'm going to go to bed knowing that it's so much more than that.

Why I'm waiting until I'm married!

Well when I was nine years old that was when my parents talked to me about sex. I knew what sex was when I was 6 but when I was 9 that was then they really talked about that to me. While they were talking to me about sex they mentioned I should wait until marriage. I said ok cool, no big deal. I will just wait until marriage.

In high school I had the same mind-set. I just didn't understand why everyone else didn't have the same mind-set. I was like whatever but then I realized I was abnormal in my beliefs which made me feel discouraged.

Now I'm 21 and, I want to still wait until marriage. Not because I think sex is dirty or bad. But because now I believe sex is so sacred. The religious reason why I wait until marriage is NOT because I find my value in my virginity but because I find my value in Christ. God sent his son and, died on the Christ for me and, for us  I owe both of them to obey their commandments and, trust them.

The secular reasons why I choose to wait until marriage is because, I don't want to jump in bed with every man I date. I know when I get married there can be a possibility of divorce but that is not the same as dating someone for 6 months, having sex with them, dating someone else for 6 months having sex with them etc. I want to have sex with someone I trust and, love. Not for a person I am dating and, not know that if we are going to decide to break-up or get married.

There is only one thing hard about being a virgin is the pressure you get from the world. You know how many weird faces people find out I'm waiting until marriage? A lot. They think it's so weird. I mean, really? It's not really that weird and, it is possible.

I bet people who don't understand the waiting until marriage concept is thinking but your wedding night may be awkward, and also won't find yourself sexually compatible. Let me tell you something. I'm not worried about that. It is going to awkward the first night with me and, my husband, just like it was awkward when you and your boyfriend/girlfriend had sex. We will just laugh our way through it. Like I said I don't think sex is dirty. I don't think the human body is dirty. I happen to love my body. I'm trying to lose weight for health reasons but I'm not ashamed if someone saw my body.

The same people who are saying that we shouldn't hold our value in virginity which I agree with, are the same people who value sex very highly in relationships. Sex is important but it's not the only important thing and, shouldn't be held on a pedestal.

I believe the important thing is friendship, communication and, trust. The #1 most important thing is dare I say sacrifice in a marriage. Or compromise.

Sex and, Entertainment

 Lately I have been having impure thoughts lately and, I think it has been the music I have been listening too. It is really hard to listen to music I like and, is appropriate this day and, age.  It is also very hard to find movies and TV shows that are good for adult but clean

I usually listen to classic soul music. Motown, Disney, easy listening, jazz, classical, adult contemporary, 80s and, 90s pop, and R&B, gospel and, Christian music. I know what you guys are thinking, that seems like a ton of music to me. But I wanted to keep up with my generation though. I wanted to listen to the latest song by Katy Perry. But even one of her songs is about getting it with someone because of their birthday. I also love BeyoncĂ©. Loved her ever since her B-day album but after she came up with that song "Drunk In Love" I was totally put back. Don't get me wrong I'm not afraid to talk about sex in a respectful manner. I am not a prude. If you want to talk about sex, lets talk about sex but talking about sex with a lot of sexual innuendos in my opinion are really immature and, that is what makes sex disgusting. And sex is not suppose to be disgusting.

I find TV shows are not align with my beliefs and, values. They talk about sex was too much. Actually pardon me, they joke about sex way too much. Most TV shows about teenagers think it's okay to for teenagers to have sex. I'm a religious person and, I believe you should wait until marriage to have sex with your spouse but I don't force my beliefs on anyone else. I don't care if adult imply that they had sex married or not on TV or in real life but teenagers. Most teenage characters on TV are played by adults but I still feel like yelling into the TV set and, say "DO YOU KNOW WHAT ACTUAL TEENAGERS LOOK LIKE?" The teenagers I know haven't developed boobs or grown facial hair yet. I know that teenagers are having sex, that's part of reality but I'm not going to support that. Teenagers are too young, a lot of teenagers who have sex the first time said they regretted it.

The point is I'm going to stop listening to that kind of music with a lot profanity and, too many sexual innuendos. I probably won't be watching any TV at all but show I know I like. I am going to stick to the music I actually liked in the first place and, not change just to keep up with trends.

The Purpose of Marriage

In our western world tradition, marriage is just something, someone do when they love each other for they won't be lonely. That is how people treat marriage right? But to me marriage is so much more than that.

Marriage to me is when two people make a promise to each other and, to God if your religious. The promises are to be committed and, to love each other. They promise to always be there for each other and, support each other. They promise to make and, raise a family together. The foundation of marriage is love. The foundation of love is commitment, trust and intimacy. Not just physical intimacy but emotional intimacy.

That is the purpose of marriage to me. When people keep these promises, it doesn't mean there marriage won't have any struggles. All marriages has struggles. The thing is though if people in the marriage keep their promises, the marriage will be healthy and, solid.

There was this blog article that became popular at the end of last year called "Marriage isn't For You" Seth Adams Smith. People loved the article but some got offended. Why? I don't know. I guess because they didn't understand what he was saying. They didn't understand the point of marriage. They didn't understand the meaning of commitment. They could have misunderstood him or because of all the stuff that has been going on in the past and, lately they are afraid to lose themselves and, they are also afraid of abuse.

The truth is marriage is about putting God first and, your spouse. Not necessary making your spouse happy. Well you shouldn't have to worry about making your spouse happy if you keep the promises you made in your marriage, you will naturally make them happy if they are grateful people.  So marriage can be stressful but if you both keep the promises you made on your wedding day. Things will be okay. Things will work out and, it will be incredible.
