Life, decision, and teaching

When people try to tempt me I need God's help to keep me on track. So many youth of todays culture drink, do drugs, and are in relationships doing things they wouldn't want their parents knowing of.

I have always had two things helping me to avoid these thing.

1. God - He is my provider and I don't even need to ask for Him to steer me away from these situations. He is always one step ahead.

2. I think of a phrase "Would I want my children to do it" 

Whenever someone asks me to do wrong I think to myself what if my precious girl or boy chose to do it. Would I be happy? I also feel like if you didn't choose to behave the way you should have then why should they not get to copy. I mean all children follow from their parents examples right? Well mostly.

So if I go out drinking at the age of 16 one weekend then I can't stop my children from doing it because I got to, which is why I have made a commitment with myself and with God not to. 

I don't know why people want me to fail so bad? I want to save everyone from their bad habits. Why do they want to make me 'bad'? Numerous occasions have occurred when people have said;

"Angelica, I can't wait to get you drunk"

"Angelica, you won't be able to last until you are 18"

My reply is watch me. Watch me please. Watch me stick to my word. I could go my whole life without having a drink if it was my promise! I don't think Alcohol makes people 'fun' I know plenty of people who are amazing without drinking! I have had so much fun in my life without alcohol! It is not required in life!

People have even said to me, 

"I imagine Jesus to be a party animal. Showing up to party's and turning the tap water into wine, free flowing and all."

They don't understand that when Jesus turned the water into wine at the marriage feast in Cana of Galilee, that the wine was a traditional drink, especially at weddings and big occasions. 

I imagine Jesus to be so much fun, but not a party animal! 

This is my heart. Please watch me and keep me accountable to my promise. I will not fail in Jesus name! 

Proverbs 31 woman

Its almost 6am, and I haven't been to bed, but this has been on my heart and I need to get it out NOW.

Okay, so when we get married at some stage, if thats what God has called you to, then we want our future Husband/Wife to have stayed pure and to have waited just for us right? Well I know I do!

So I came across this video today that my friend had posted about an hour ago. Watch it then read on... 

So you've got to admit, that is an eye opener right? 

The main message I got out of this is not to tempt our brothers! This past summer I learnt a little of how a guys mind works. Do you know what brain storming is? When you think of one thing which leads to another. 

Okay, now imagine that as the guys brain. A cute girl walks past and you can see that red bra strap with a white tank top, his mind is going to spiral, he is going to start thinking about that bra, maybe with lace on it, then he imagines the girl with just the bra on, no top, then it gets worse and there is no bra. 

You might not even know the boy or what you are putting through his brain, but he is then in the situation where he is looking lustfully upon you. We wonder why Guys have such a distorted image of what their girlfriend should look like. 

So girls, here's what we can do...

Stop wearing those tank tops that you can see through or see your bra straps from.

Perhaps if you want to wear that tank top just take a small paper clip or metal pin and clip your bra straps together so those guys can't see the colour or anything.

Dress modestly, if you do boys will like you for your heart not your body! 

So please help our brothers, lets raise a generation of Proverbs 31 women, not victoria secret models. Lets restore that true image of beauty, and then the divorce rate in society may be lower because relationships won't be entirely based on sexual relationships, but instead, true love!

Please, if you care about the next generation, pass at least this video onto a teenage girl who you care about so that they know not to tempt their brothers :) and thanks for reading!
