I found my purpose.
I honed my talents.
I made new friends with similar interests.
I focused.
I created an online radio show.
I pursued my writing career.
I had a successful television career.
I started my own business.
And I got closer to God than I ever imagined possible.
I hear him more clearly.
The nights of staining my pillow with tears of guilt and shame are long gone.
I know people like to say, “just give it to God”.
The truth is: It doesn’t happen in an instant.
It’s a DAILY DECISION.
So, if people ridicule you for being celibate, ignore the ignorance.
The orgasm they enjoy for a moment, can’t compete with God’s everlasting love!
Even in my initial walk towards the celibate life, I slipped up a few times.
And finally, I made the decision to leave.
And that meant no more sex.
I once went a month, then three months and FINALLY I learned to STOP counting how long it’s been since I’ve “had some”.
I started counting how long my body has belonged to God!
And now, I’m eagerly anticipating that man, my future husband that God has in store JUST for me.
Because I am disciplined.
And obedience is better than a sacrifice.
