Chaste for Christ
I am chaste for Christ. In a morally malleable society, I am an anachronism, or as the dictionary defines it, conspicuously old-fashioned. You would never know this about me to see me, because I have body confidence, sex appeal, fashion sense, and an overt appreciation for the opposite sex. The conspicuous part of my profession of chastity, is my bold statement here and of course, elsewhere in my life; for example, when men express interest in me, I am candid on multiple levels and one of them is to clearly state, that I will not have sex with them.
Before you assume
Now, before you assume that I am an egomaniac, allow me to state that as a single woman, I have discovered a whole new world of dating, dating antics and behaviours, dating expectations and boundary-less-ness, and approaches that alarm me, because of the almost desperate ploys used to secure a mate. Finding someone seems more important than finding that certain someone, the soulmate we all crave, but somehow can’t wait to discover, find, be set up with, or most valuably, have God select for us.

| Hearts connect in multiple ways |
You discover a rare and wonderful human being. They value themselves, because they know, that God has made them; they know, that God has lovingly sculpted and shaped them into the person they are designed to be. God has whispered into their ear, you are mine, I love you, and you are precious to me, so precious, that I would keep you to myself, except I know, that you don’t want to be alone, that you want to give yourself to someone that will adore you, with all their mind, heart and spirit. So I created, sculpted and shaped for you, a wonderful human, and they know too, that they are mine, that they are precious, that I AM their God… I want you to celebrate each other, and I want it to be in my name. Here, here you go, be love in the world. Imagine that dear reader?
God commands it
I am not chaste because I do not like sex, I am chaste because my God commands it, because my God knows who and what is best for me. I am chaste for Christ, because in a morally malleable world, we need people to mean what they say and say what they mean. In a sexually salacious society, Christians must honour the God of The Bible, publicly, and privately, at all costs. I am, who God says I am: this is a matter of integrity and one day, I will have a given-to-me-by-God-man, and the celebrating in every way, will begin!
Until then, I wait
