Here is an excerpt from my book "Finding My Pure Heart Again" tell me what you think...
This is such a tough subject. I know that kissing can be innocent, but I also know that it can lead to destruction.
I’ve seen it happen in my own life.
A kiss can light you up inside.
It literally gives you crazy tingling feelings that run straight through you. I believe that these feelings are a gift from God. They are not bad feelings.
But I also believe that they can lead down a bad path if you are kissing when you really shouldn’t be. I mean think about it. Why would you want to give away something so amazing as that electric kiss to just anyone?
Can you imagine what it would feel like if you waited for your true love on your wedding day?
Man, God would just floor you! He wants you to feel those rushes, but only at the right moment.
And I believe the right moment is when you hear the words, “You may NOW kiss the bride”.

Stealing the little out of your little girl
I have two amazing daughters who are 8 & 10. I just realized the other day that they will soon be teenagers. That thought scared me. It REALLY scared me! I guess I knew that one day it would happen, but it seems to be creeping up on me faster and faster each moment.
I am reading a book by Dannah Gresh called" Six Ways to keep the little in your girl" and so far it has rocked my world. Some things I"m reading my husband and I have already incorporated but other things I hadn't even thought of.
Have you ever thought of how the dolls that are marketed out there now are over sexualizing our kids? Think about the Bratz dolls. Wow!
That's all I can say. Okay, I'm gonna say a little more...
Tight clothes, short skirts, fish net stockings, ugly sexy looks on their faces...yikes. They kind of remind me of prostitutes.
This is how we want our daughters to play???
Hmmm...
Not me.
I have never let my girls have those dolls for this very reason-but many mom's are. And I ask myself "WHY?"
What is this doing to our little girls hearts?
Why allow them to think that this is okay to not only over sexualize them but to make them think that this is how women are perceived.
I want to raise my girls to be strong Godly women who serve and love others. Am I the most perfect mom? Heck no! I screw up everyday. But this is my prayer for them. I HAVE to be thinking ahead when I am buying toys.
What are your thoughts?
