I remember when I was single I struggled to honor God with my body and stay celibate. I worked full- time and went to school full-time and my social life was not the best. I used that as an excuse to fornicate. I have always been a person that preferred to be in a long- term relationship but I allowed myself to start thinking worldly and before long I started acting like the world. I felt like I was missing out on something by trying to be the "good girl," because I was the oldest child and I was the last one to lose my virginity amongst my siblings. I was doing it for a while and I realized how empty it made me feel. I did not feel loved or accepted the way I wanted to. I did not feel like it was something I needed to keep me company like I had deceived myself into thinking. I was celibate for four years and I made another mistake. It finally got to the point when I was just so sad and un- fulfilled and I asked God to deliver me from fornicating. I prayed for months and I made more mistakes and eventually in God's mercy He blessed me with the love I wanted and the deliverance I asked for in the form of a husband. We've been married now for three years. Praise God and trust Him! I pray that anyone facing this struggle will have the heart to be lead by the Holy- Spirit and to repent and ask God for His help and forgiveness.
