Waiting and Loving It - Because God said So!

May Day! May Day!! There's no Waiting and Loving It Post today!! :-( 

I'm so sorry, we have to postpone today's feature until next week!

In the meantime, if you are Waiting and Loving It say Heyyyy! lol

Can I be real for a second? Thank you..

To be honest, this waiting can get it's very difficult moments...like gosh mehnnn! It's all lovely and great - uhhh and ahhh, after you've crossed the line but for my fellow Wait-ers.. How is the market?

Sometimes it's not very easy and the body is saying noooo, forget waiting, give me NOW!! But then the spirit man is saying - Calm down, it's only a matter of time. The wait will be worth it. Obedience is better than any amount of sacrifice.

I am grateful for all the couples who share their stories each week here on how possible it is to honour God even when the odds seem to be against you.
 
The truth is, obedience and honouring God goes not only in pre-marital sex, it applies in every single area of our lives.

Do I want to love people that are mean to me? NO! But do, I must because God said so.
Do I want to go without food for a period of time? NO! But I do because it helps my walk with God.
Do I want to forgive THAT human being? NO! But God said I should.
Do I want to pay my tithe or sacrifice that money I've been holding unto dearly? NO! It's not even enough for me.. But I do because God said so.

Everyday, we must make decisions about all aspects of our lives, and top underlying factor shouldn't be if it's convenient, what popular opinion may dictate or if you feel like or want to. It must be because God said so!

So with regards to sex? Until, the dotted lines are signed, I am Waiting and Loving It.. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.... Because God said so!

How about YOU? xx

  1. Yay! Excited to hear from you.Sometimes your frank posts on relationships and sex remind me of why I got hooked to this blog.i emphasize with a lot of of stuff you say.
    Mehn! Waiting sometimes sucks!but as u said because God says so. There are times I feel so horny for no good reason oh!No touch or kiss or film or books or conversations! I have to snap out of it before devil gets a hold of me and I begin to wonder what is it I am even loving out of the Waiting and Loving.
    See whoever said it's easy to wait and love it is lying. If it's so bad now I don't even a guy,i wonder how strong the temptation and struggle will be when I do find The one. Its not easy I tell you.But this is my 3rd year!And I will stand firm by the grace of our Lord Jesus.

  11. Hey Ayo thanks for the great reminder how important obedience is.

    However, I would like to add that if you/ me don't like to do the things you mentioned, you should do them, sure, BUT you also should pray for your motivation and your heart. Giving form a cheerful heart is more blessed than giving out of duty. Forgiveness that is deep-down from the heart (when you re-love that person and feel with him/her) will last longer than a "I have to forgive you"-forgiveness.

    I'm not saying this is easy and we should not wait for the "perfect motivation" to start things, but we should not forget and try to let Jesus work on our roots.

    Speaking of love, Ola told me about funny new love slang form Nigeria: "Hey, the luv I av for you is like copied assignment #I cant just explain it#" lol has anyone tried that on you?

  12. Sebs! I LOVE your comment. Thank you very much for adding that great value to the post. Ultimately, our obedience to God's word must move from duty to love.. It's a relationship, and it works out so much better that way!
    Hahaha @Ola, we need to have her on here one day :-)
