That Awkward Topic.

We had an AMAZING lesson in Young Womens. It was that topic that they have at least one lesson on a year. Yes. Sexual Purity. Yeah yeah it's awkward but it's a part of life! Luckily the Laurels in my ward are AMAZING and don't make it awkward at all. We all agree that it's a topic that NEEDS to be discussed. Especially in todays world.

Here's a few of my personal standpoints:

- I CHOOSE to remain and be sexually pure. It's not something that my family or faith has decided for me but, something I have seen in many different circumstances. I want to save something that sacred for my eternal companion. Not as the world sees it to be given to anyone.

- I don't hate or stray away from people who have made mistakes. WE ARE ALL HUMAN. It's who we are. We make mistakes everyday. It's just important that we repent and keep moving forward.

- So many girls are waiting for a man who will risk his life for them. What they don't see is that long ago, a man did on the cross. AND he suffered for our sins. I can only hope to SOMEDAY (not soon--I'm in high school.) To find an eternal companion that also sees that. That also finds my qualities and want to become better because he has a testimony of that man who died on the cross and suffered for his sins also.

- I'm not ashamed to say that I choose to be sexually pure. It's something to truly strive for I believe. I don't care what the world thinks of me. I care what my Heavenly Father thinks of me. HE knows the big picture.

~There were so many more amazing things that happened in that lesson. I'm so glad I was there and that I learned it. It's not an awkward topic if you are straight forward and have a sincere understanding of what being sexually pure means. Life is Full of Smiles when you make the decision NOW.~
