"I don't wait anymore"

The above title is of a great, thought provoking blog post linked HERE.

In a nutshell, the author at 25 decided to take off her purity ring because she is done with the concept of "waiting on a husband". No, she's not advocating fornication or anything crazy. She's going against what's been pounded into the hearts and minds of we who have lived through the "true love waits" movement.

To be clear, I still believe in waiting. Most definitely. But the focus of the movement is to wait on God and eventually the prince will come. I am not saying this is not possible (um, I really hoping this is still possible!) but our Uttermost Focus needs to be on God alone, not on what blessings He can bring into our lives.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 6:33

Another point she hits on is the family centered focus of the church.

One is a toddler then child then inducted into the Youth Group and swims in this seemingly endless abyss until they reach the shores called Marriage. At least, this is how it feels! Being single in your 20's+ can feel as though you're lost in the shuffle and shelved in the Youth Group until your status changes.... and you finally get your ring *ahem* I mean, watch. {Nothing against watches! I love 'em! But I find that whole concept rather amusing!}

Anyway, read her blog post. And give me your thoughts! I'd love to hear them, I promise :)

{OH! And I realized that I typed this out not long after a recent wedding posted on my blog. I promise I'm not bitter! This post has been on my mind for a while.}
