When my little brother got a girlfriend last year, my sister asked me, “Rebekah, don’t you think it’s weird that Josiah has a girlfriend before you or Joshua ever had a date?”
In case you’re wondering, the answer was “no.” I didn’t find that weird at all. So what if my baby brother beat me into the dating world? I was never looking for a relationship. And maybe that’s why, when a friend of mine asked me to write a guest post on purity, I wondered if I actually had anything to say on the subject.
So I wrote and I backspaced and I wrote and rewrote, and mostly, I learned… I learned something about myself, I learned something about purity, and I learned exactly how purity and my life intertwine.
So take a journey with me to Meditations of His Love, and maybe you’ll learn something about purity along with me.
You did have something to say on the subject, and I, for one, am oh-so-glad. I loved reading your post, Rebekah, and it is clear that you put a lot of effort (and prayer!) into it. Thank you for being willing to write the hard things. 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement. It’s just always hard to write about something that comes so naturally you’ve never really thought about it. My mom and I have talked about writing on mother/daughter relationships before, but then I said to her, “You know, I really don’t know how to help people create a relationship like we have.” You can’t really tell someone “it just happens” in a book like that. But I was thankful for the challenge that made me realize what purity means to me.
