Believe In Me

Not too long ago I went to my family doctor for a yearly physical wellness exam. A very friendly nurse measured me, weighed me, and took my temperature. She also asked me the regular series of questions for women, such as, “When was your last menstrual period,” and “Is there any chance that you are pregnant?” To the latter question, I answered no. At that point I was a 21-year-old college student who, by God’s grace, was saving my virginity for marriage, trying to live a chaste life, and feeling very strongly about my convictions in this area. The nurse proceeded to ask me, at this point seemingly deviating from the questions on the form, if I was on any kind of birth control. I again said no and briefly informed her, in a patient-to-health professional way, that I was not planning on needing birth control because I was waiting until marriage to have sex (I didn’t even bring up the fact that I will not be using contraception after marriage either!). At my answer, the nurse smiled at me condescendingly and said, “Well, dear, I’m sure that is how you feel now, but I can’t tell you how many girls I’ve met who had similar intentions, but then weren’t prepared with contraception when in the heat of the moment they changed their minds.” Lord, have mercy, when a young unmarried girl goes to the office of a Christian family practice doctor, and, rather than being commended and encouraged in her desire to save herself for her future husband, is told that she will not have the self-control to do so.

Let's be honest, Movies & TV aren't the best place to get ideas about how dating should start and progress. If you want real love, you have to build a real friendship. Think about who, why & how you are choosing to love!
