I always knew that God's way was the best, that I wanted to wait, and that I valued purity.

I think it takes a truly strong man to cherish a woman.

Most people have to date or court other people before they meet the one.

I cry out from the ashes, burned with sin and shame. I ask you Lord to make me whole again.

I dreamed of being able to share my thoughts and feelings and hopes without thinking they were going to make fun of me and think I was silly, and I have that.

I don't think courting and dating is a liability. I actually think it can be a blessing.

I believe that marriage is a representation of Christ and the church and when Christ and the church are unified, they are the strongest and most attractive to those that don't know Jesus.
