True Love Waits
"In a world that constantly bombards us with impurity and immodesty, we feel called to take a stand against what the world is telling is acceptable. Especially in the area of clothing and modesty. We believe that God has one perfect man already chosen for us; therefore we have no need to worry ourselves in searching for him. When the time is right we know God will bring us together. In the meantime we are not hiding in a closet avoiding all males. We are still living our lives, just without the pressure of having to have a boyfriend."
-Barlow Girl


I discovered this quote in my Holman Student Bible on Sunday morning. We were reading from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-22. But at the top of the page, relating to Chapter 4:1-8 was this side note. This bible is actually full of quotes from Missionaries, Religious Leaders, and Christian Bands. It also has stories of Missionary trips, and World Views on selected text. As well as dozens of pictures, maps, timelines, and 2 page background description before each book.

Anyways, I really felt led to read this quote, plus the passage that went along with it. It really spoke to me, and was what I needed to hear right now. I have really been focusing on the opposite sex and trying to force something that maybe isn't supposed to be right now. I think that this is a very important thought for any female, single or in a relationship, to read, remember, and apply.
