Description
In these pages you will read about one woman's trials, mistakes and victories through the Lord in her fight to follow Gods plan for her life, and she openly shares some powerful tools that have proven to work for her. Celibacy and temptation are not popular topics, that's why she felt lead to write about them. She struggled with these issues on her own, but wanted to share her hard-headedness, confesses her weaknesses and her life's lessons that just may save you from making some of the small and not so small mistakes she made herself. Her casual style of writing makes you feel comfortable and right at home with her. You may be surprised to find yourself relating to many of her same situations. She is frank and direct with some issues that are almost taboo in Christian society, but as she tells you, “These are the very issues single Christian women find themselves struggling with today. They are real and powerful. God knows I'm a slow learner and that sometimes I need a brick dropped on my head to learn the lesson. It's really quite simple and very doable." She encourages. "Society has tainted so many words of great value like: submit, obey, abstinence, virtue, and purity. These are the very things the Bible speaks so clearly of. Look to God and you will find these words appearing in your daily life, keep your eyes on Him and you will learn to cherish them for all their worth. The enemy has been mastering his perfect plan to destroy the value such words, but even worse, he has been working even harder to destroy you. But through God all things are possible, even celibacy."
