Waiting

How many people do you know who have decided to save there heart for their future spouse? If you told your friends that you weren't going to date that hot guy who asked you out because you didn't love him, would they laugh or support you? Waiting is considered old fashioned and rediculous in todays time. Why? Because culture and society tell you that it is unimportant to wait; even in something that is as important as your heart. It is expected of the average teen to give their purity away to someone, no matter whether you are planning on marrying them or not. Not only is it emotionally unhealthy to give your purity away before marriage, but also mentally and morally. Doesn't your future spouse deserve your whole heart? Think of it this way: on your wedding day, do you want to look out into the crowd of people watching you and see every man who has a piece of your heart that you told your spouse you were giving to him? Culture is spinning out of control and trying to justify sex outside of marriage, but even if you think it is just, is it good for you? Do you feel good after you give your purity away, and end up "in love" with someone else the next week because the last one dumped you? It's not too late to break out of the cultural cycle. Today is your chance to save your heart for the person who truly deserves it. Not only will you get the satisfaction of having waited and meeting a goal, but also your life with your spouse will be happier and healthier. I encourage you to think about making it your goal to wait.

Designing Central

I, like many other girls, went through a stage of wanting to be a fashion designer. So I dug into the library and internet to do my research on design: the modern styles, fashion history, etc. In one book, I found the fashion "progression", but I was shocked because it seemed more like degression. A long time ago, designers actually dressed their models! Now, though, instead, we call fashion a fancy bra and underwear. That is the "biggest fashion" of today. The designers put models in fancy bakini's and price it at a 100,000 dollars. I highly doubt that the ammount of material they used was worth that much. Let's rebel against high fashion and show standard. If they think fashion is wearing fancy bras and underwear then I hope I am the least fashionable person in the world.

the Mutants

     Isn't it weird how you can go to sleep looking fine, but in the morning you look like a monster? Somehow boys are able to keep looking about the same morning and evening. Jealous yet? Though boys have this blessing they love to complain about how complicated we are. They would be emotional too if they had to undergo mutation every night. It's not as easy as they think to look beautiful by the time they see us. My brother has often commented on how awful I look when I wake up. As if that helps my self esteem. I think it's kind of silly how far we will go just to look pretty. The average girl (woman) has over 300 items in their bathroom and most of these are beauty products. Is it really that important to look good? Why can't we be satisfied with the way God made us? With the magazines, models, actresses all telling us how to look better, we have forgotten what true beauty is. True beauty is a kind heart, patient temperment, capable disposition, and a innocent love of all things good. Remember, God made you perfect just the way you are
