I realize that every mistake I could make as a young woman
could in fact put my future in danger or jeopardy. Not only will my mistakes affect
me, but they will also affect my husband, my children and so on. When people sin,
they do not take the time to realize the extremity of that sin. It could seem
like just a moment and nothing more than that, but it can hunt you for the
remainder of your life. Your past can literally shape your future. And when you
hold on to it, it can and will destroy any chances of having a stable life in
the future. That is why I vow to my father in Heaven that I will try my hardest
to live righteously and to live by his commandants. I vow to end my family’s
sin cycle, and start a new God-fearing lifestyle, that will resemble God’s
love. I don’t want to be shackled, and buried in lies, and deceit. I want to be
free, and live a life full of joy and peace. I want to be an inspiration to
other young women, and young adult. It is possible to live right; you just have
to want to live right! It’s a choice that you make every day you awake. We don’t
have to go through every situation to learn and grow; we don’t need to kiss a
million frogs to find our prince charming. Whoever said these things? I want to
be at peace with my life; I don’t want nor need the extra unnecessary drama.
Therefore the devil can miss me with that, I’m cool!

She asked what it said and leaned in closer to read it. The quote was about staying open to the change God wants to do in our lives. An uncomfortable look formed on her face and she said something about how HR doesn’t allow religion in the workplace. I wasn’t sure if she was kidding or serious, so I asked if it offended her. She said, “Well, it’s definitely weird.” Losing Friends I’ve noticed a difference in some friendships since dedicating my life fully to God . At times it comes in the form of mocking, especially after sharing a great story that feels highly inspiring, but it also comes in the form of rejection. At first this new dynamic was hard to swallow; it felt like I was being torn between two worlds. It was great getting invites to dinner or drinks with fri...
