Great Weekend

Wow, what an incredible weekend! I learned so much about sexual integrity, and let me tell you that Shannon Ethridge has one beautiful testimony! If you have a chance to look it up on you tube,I would encourage you to! To give you the jist of it. She lost her virginity before she was 16, and by the age of 20 she had so many sexual partners she couldn't tell you what the number was.When she was 16, she was driving to school, looked in her rear view mirror to put on lip stick and ran over something. When she got out she saw that it was a lady riding her bike. She killed this lady. But God protected her and she didn't have a scratch on her. To find out how this woman's husband reacted, and what consequences she went through, you should check her story out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGAW7Zp_OQI

So my weekend... Basically it was all about sexual integrity, and my relationship with God as well as my husband. It was blunt, forward, at times uncomfortable! But the biggest point she made was this: God made sex for a husband and a wife... there is something very spiritual about making love with your spouse and God delights in it!  I also learned that 40% of pornography websites are made for women! Pornography addiction is no longer just a man thing like the world portrays it to be! Another stat that I learned is that every 1 in 3 women are sexually abused. 1 in 3!! Thats crazy! The list could go on with the stuff that I learned, but 1) Ill stop myself from preaching at you, and 2) In order for me to explain more about what I learned Id have to go into more detail, and that could be a bit uncomfortable! If you'd like to hear more, please leave me a comment and Ill make a point of talking more about it!

When I wrote last week I told you about Eli's ears, and how I dont see us getting in to see our specialist any time soon. Well God is good, and we have an appointment to see the dr on Wednesday afternoon! I am so glad, and so blessed! We decided to get Eli on the antibiotics to deal with this ear infection and wait to see what Dr.Eksteen says/suggests on Wednesday!

And finally, Thanksgiving is this weekend! We're having 2 thanksgiving dinners, and I cant wait! Family, food, and relaxing!

Hope you all had a great weekend!!

Hey Karla,

I was just updating some old posts on my blog and I noticed a comment from you! I don't know how I lost track of your blog, but it's good to see you're still updating.

Wow about Shannon's story -- I never would have guessed about her sexual past.
