Brei's Testimony

I can definitely appreciate courting!

All my middle school life and beginning of high school, I truely wanted to remain abstinent until my wedding night. However, I tried to be like everyone else and fit in. I never planned on having sex, and yet I didn't say no either.

I was always a smart girl in school, but when it came time to actually be smart, I failed. I was pregnant. I didn't tell anyone. I didn't show and I still did everything that I did before. I never did drugs or drank, so I was not taking any toxins into my body. I was able to hide it from everyone until 2 hours before my daughter was born. I didn't hide it from just the outside world. I didn't even let myself believe that I was pregnant. I made it any and everything else except pregnancy.

It seems strange to think that I could be so naive, but I was.

Now I have an amazing daughter, Alyzabeth Jade.

I am not with her father. It is best that we just stay separated parents and not try and have a relationship. We are very different.

I realize now that what I want in life is someone that I can talk to and be myself around. Someone that loves Jesus just as much as I do. To be my friend first and then we develop a relationship from that.

To me, that's what courting is.

I don't plan on kissing another man's lips until the moment the pastor tells him to kiss the bride.
