Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.: I Don't Wait Anymore

When I was 16, I got a purity ring.

And when I was 25, I took it off.

I didn’t tell anyone I was doing it — it wasn’t a statement or an emotional thing. I just slipped it off my finger that day and, before tucking it away in a box, ran my finger around the words on the familiar gold band.

this. for sure….I was blessed enough to get married eventually, but I was 28 before it happened.  A lot of my good Christian friends are in their 30’s, and still no husband/wife.  A lot of those youth group purity ring things really distract you from the real purpose of your life.  Marriage, while a calling/vocation, is not always something that comes along early, or even at all.  Life is worth living, single, married, ordained, etc.

I’m sorry I’m too distracted by PREGNANCY BUMP PREGNANCY BUMP OMG SHE’S SO PRECIOUS

Kate and I are almost at exactly the same stage in pregnancy.  This is so cute, but man my bump is way huger.  ;)

“I don’t think you’re an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother’s pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly bad public speaker. And you tend to let whatever’s in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration of the consequences.I realize that when I met you at the turkey curry buffet that I was unforgivably rude and wearing a reindeer jumper that my mother had given me the day before.”
