Last night at church was amazing! God was totally in that little room with Amber and I as we spoke to high school aged girls about a very serious topic. Premarital Sex. We started out the lesson going over a few things that Amber had covered the previous Wednesdays. The girls seemed interested but too shy to really talk about anything. After we reviewed, Amber wanted me to tell the girls my testimony about waiting till marriage to have sex. So I started out telling the girl's that from 2006-2010, 80+ percent of women had sex before they got married. They were pretty shocked at this crazyness and who wouldn't be! I then began to explain that I was very proud to be part of that 20% of ladies that actually waited to have sex with their husbands. I told them that when I was 15 I took the True Love Waits course at SonRise Community Church and I had made a commitment to God and to my future husband that I would wait till marriage. I wore my TLW ring till the day I married Richard about 5 years after I made that commitment.
After shedding some tears, I continued to tell them how proud of me my husband was. He told me that that was something that he loved about me and that he really respects me for waiting. It was really hard to talk about Richard last night to those teen girls. The whole time my throat was so tight and I know my face had to be bright red, but I said what I thought God wanted me to say. Afterwards, Amber told them about how she started keeping a journal to her future husband right after we graduated high school and still writes to him now. So she wanted the girls to write a letter to their future husbands and they were pretty excited about it. They didn't have a lot to say about the whole lesson but I had to remind them again that I was so thankful that I had someone tell me about the importance of waiting, not only to my husband but to God as well. I pray for those girls. I pray that they will make the same promise I made to myself, to my husband, and to my God. They will not regret it and their husbands will forever treasure that gift. So after I got home and started to get online to see if Richard was online I has seen one of the girls from the class say this... "Just had the best lesson at church tonight. Thank you Amber and Meagan! I am so blessed to have both of you in my life. You truly inspire me!"
This warmed my heart and I thought to myself, 'Wow God you were right there with us tonight!!!' Then when I though it couldn't get any better, another friend told us this... "just want you girls to know that (GIRL) was really listening tonight, She is actually considering the possibility of saving herself for her husband. we talked about it on the way home. she was curious. that's the first time anyone has ever talked to her about purity. Keep up the good work! You girls ROCK!'
WHOA!!!! How blessed Amber and I both were last night!! I still am praising the Lord for everything He has done in my life! I don't deserve half the things He does for me, but I am so grateful!
Blessed beyond measure!!
XO Meagan
