The Parable of the Shoes

So check it out ladies and gents! I'm about to tell you a parable, the parable of the shoes. If you don't know what a parable is, well it's kind of like a story with some kind of message. Jesus taught with them all the time. This one isn't Biblical in the sense that it's directly from the Bible, but I would say that it matches what that Holy Book has got inside! So listen up, here it is!

The Parable:

The this is something that's happening in my life right now. Around Christmas time (right after actually because of the sales) I went to West 49 and bought some sick skateboard shoes. These shoes are really cool I've gotta tell you, I even compromised just a little on size so I could get them. That's how cool they are! I went home and thought "These are amazing!" and I promised my self I wouldn't wear them outside until spring so they wouldn't get wrecked. And even though the one's I'm wearing right now are pretty crappy, I'm still not wearing the new ones outside because it won't be same when it is the right time to wear them. It'll feel great walking into school wearing fantabulous shoes, and right now I'm just waiting for that.

The meaning:

So let's just say that when I bought the shoes, I was born. That was the time my life started and at my birth I was given something spectacular that I had to wait for to get the most out of. Maybe you can already see where this is going. The shoes are sex.... oooh sex. You immature babies, just kidding. Spring is like marriage. So if you want to get the most out of sex, then you have to save it 'til marriage. Get it? Think about it, if you're a virgin and you're reading this then you must heard a lot sex and how good (or bad depending who you hear it from, i.e. rape victims, etc). But how good it is when it's used properly and waited for. I'm a virgin and I'm not gonna lie I've wondered a lot about what it will be like when the time comes.

Think about the shoes again, if I were to wear them outside in the winter they get wet from the all the snow. They'd get soaked and the material would be damaged or ruined. And there's a lot of dirt after the snow's melted too. I don't want dirty shoes, I want cool shoes!! So it's the same thing with sex, hold out for marriage brothers and sisters! Save yourself for the best. So there you have it folks, I preach abstinence (but only until marriage because life would suck otherwise...)

Peace, love you all!

Thinking Space Cont'd....

So I'm just going to continue right from where I stopped yesterday. Yeah, I would read yesterday's blog before this, in other words. Supposedly, only half of us are still virgins. A good place to start to talk about this is the different possible scenarios, and like I said yesterday I'm going to be speaking mostly from the girl's perspective. Check it out, maybe you've heard it said before: Guys give love to get sex and girls give sex to get love. What that means is girls are looking to be loved and accepted. That's for every girl, we all want to be loved and that should be a given. But what would suck, and I wonder how many times this has happened, probably millions... It would suck to get caught in a situation where you're tempted to have sex outside of marriage and give in. Not only have you then given away your virginity,which is such an valuable thing, but after "doing it" you go to school the next day, expecting that what you the two of you did together would be kept secret. I'm gonna keep going with this , so follow and remember this is just a scenario. As the day goes on you hear rumors and then details and you know that it's not a secret anymore.

A bruised view of yourself is what's gonna come from something like that. You revealed yourself completely to somebody else. That's a really big deal! And not in a good way. At that point you've gotta trust that the other person won't talk badly about you afterwards. And what would keep them from doing that, especially if the relationship ends?

There's so much more that needs to be said than blog can give justice. Just to name a few teenage pregnancies, which can and almost definitely will bring about more problems. Then there's rapes. I won't even say anything here because I don't know enough about but I know that that's always hard.

IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE HERE, PLEASE READ THIS: For every girl that is out there hurting from so many things that might be happening, you need to know that you are God's special creation and he loves you! You're not a mistake and you're here for a purpose.

If you're a virgin keep it that way! Save it all for your future husband, because marriage is truly a beautiful. I am a virgin that's exactly what I'm doing. (And I'm looking forward to my wedding night!)

If you're not a virgin, the message is still the same. Choose to abstain now, have a second virginity. God's love is still just as real for you as ever. Nothing can ever change it because His love is true. There's always hope even when tough situations arise. This is the real deal. God is alive and He's here to help us all. If you're considering getting an abortion, please don't. If you can't work it out to take care of the child yourself, there's adoption and families who are longing to adopt.

So that's what I've gotta say. Take it or leave it. The message won't change. If you make it through any tough situation it's because of God's grace and nothing else! Comment if you'd like but I can't guarantee I'll have the right answer to any questions. abstinence
