I recently broke up with my boyfriend because he felt that he could no longer wait for me. He stated that he likes me but it is hard for him and he does not want to hurt me. I took that to mean that he will begin to seek someone else that can satisfy him. I am very much disappointed by this becaue I wanted this relationship. Now I have decided to just not date anymore and just enjoy being single and dedicating my time to becoming a better me. I actually feel good I am going to buy the ring (true love waits) on Monday. I already signed my card and place it in my wallet. I am ready for this new journey in my life and I am happy to know that I am not in this alone. Thank you so much because everyone around me keeps telling me that I have to have sex in order to keep and have a man. But I believe God more than man so I am committed like you all are. I know that everything will work out. I decided to be celibate and have been but now since I found out about this ministry I feel part of something big. I am glad that I am not alone. Thank you all so much. God Bless.

I would personally recommend the study LifeWay published in June 2008, "Return to the Garden" by Kay Arthur. You see each of the products under this title by visiting our online catalog: http://www.lifeway.com/link/?id=243672. There is a study leader kit, a member book, and an audio CD set. The material Kay covers here will likely answer many of your questions. We hope this study ministers to you. LifeWay staff

By: Anonymous On: 10/31/2008 8:31:11 AM What resources are available to me? I am recently divorced and may consider dating again and the Lord has been speaking to me about renewing my mind in the area of sex. When I met my husband we lived together for almost 5 years before we got married (we were unequally yoked) and I overlooked the premarital sex element. The next 5 years sex was no issue because we were married. Now I'm no longer married. Most resources out there are for teenagers with the fear of getting pregnant/upsetting their parents. For me it's now about trying to live a godly way. Fortunately there's no one on the horizon, but the day may come when there is, and then what? Any help/ comment/ suggestions.
