Title: The hardest thing I have ever done... Post by: SanctumSolitude on July 09, 2004, 02:47:22 PM Let me introduce myself, I am a 17 year old male. I needed to share this experience with someone so I chose you guys.
There was a girl that sat across from me all year in class. We developed a really close friendship. Every moment I spent with her was one of the greatest moments of my life. I wanted nothing more than to be her boyfriend. But she had a crush on someone else. As she was making her move on him I supported her 100%. Sadly, he rejected her. I let her cry on my shoulder and gave her all the support and love I could during this time. After about two weeks I finally got the courage to ask her out. The date for me to ask was set and I summoned up all my nerves to do it. I was going to do it after we were set to hang out with each other. When that day came she suggested we go to another friend's house. I accepted and off we went. At the subsequent party she encouraged me to experiment with alcohol and premarital sex. She tried to explain to me how both experiences could be great. I told her that I couldn't due to my convictions to christ. She told me that there were no consequences to drinking and sex (as long as used in moderation and without getting pregnant). Well, I told her there was one consequence... I told her I couldn't continue to be her friend if she was going to try and get me to sin. I also explained that I didn't feel good about her doing either as well. She said it was her choice. I said, "And this is my choice... good-bye." The emotions I felt for her were some of the strongest I have ever felt. I thought she was perfect in every way, but she made me choose between God and Her. I chose God. Title: Re:The hardest thing I have ever done...

This psyco-$#%@ was crazied, and for some crazy reason, liked me. Yeah, it is hard to tell a no, especially a cute one. But, how happy will you be with a who likes you, but is always into the . You will never hear the end of it, she will always be there, pressuring you! But, in the end, it is worth it.
And if we get to heaven, and if out is was not worth it, we can just double team some lead pipes upside Joshua Harris' head. ;) ;D If it is meant to be with her, it will be. If you love God and are called according to his plan, all things will work out for you (Romans 8:28). |
