Six years ago in a "girls" only class at Impact (which is a christian youth trip i have attended for the past seven years) i wrote a letter to my future husband. yea, i thought it was a little weird at first too, but it is probably one of the most important thing i have ever written.
Going into the class that day i thought how boring and weird this is going to be, it was just going to be just like every other "girls"class...talk about sex, and what boundaries are, what is pure and impure and all that stuff we all had already heard before. But this was different. It was about love. God has someone out there for all of us; he has our life planned out and has that special person waiting for us. It was also about waiting, waiting for the one you will love and be with forever. Sex is ment to be a special thing between a husband adn a wife, who love each other. and if you "give it up" one day to some one you don't love and know you won't be with in the future, then how is that going to be special between you adn your spouse? how will you explain to them, "oh yea and honey, you arn't my first, ive actually been around the block a few times"... it probably won't go over so well.
And yea i have heard it from my parents about, love and sex adn waiting and all that good stuff, but in this class... writing a letter to the man that i would one day share my life with...it just seemed so real and i understood.
The letter (written personaly from me to my husband) was basically about how i am waiting for him and how i have made a committment to him and God that i am going to stya pure until God has put him in my life and we are married.
We wrapped the letters in a little box, which sits in my self, and all of us girls that were in that class that day all have a box that we will give our husbands one day.
I'm a girl, so naturally we think more about love and can't wait to be in love one day, but this class taught me it wasn't just about me, or just falling in love with a handsome man. it is how you live your life... for you, God and the man you will marry someday.

who am i? ;)
who am i? sometimes i would realluy like to know who i am. sometimes i feel like i am to wishy washy and i don't know who i am or what i stand for, which makes other people not really know who i am either. but i wish i was not like that. so this is who i am, what i like, love, dream... and all that...
