Trusting God

My name is Gabrielle Allen. I am nineteen years old and I've never had a boyfriend.

Almost unheard of these days, right? Some people think I am crazy, but I have never suffered through breaking up, have never felt the regret of giving my heart away to someone to whom it does not belong, and I am still a virgin in every sense of the word. If this is craziness, then everybody should be out of their wits! 

The things I have mentioned are all things that very few young women today can brag about. But, oh! What a beautiful thing it is for a woman to save herself for one man and to be presented to him a pure bride on her wedding day! People seem to have given up hope on this ever being their story. They don't believe there are still godly young men who are saving their hearts too. It really all comes down to trust. 

Do you trust God with your future? 

Don't say yes just because it's the "right answer". Think about it. Do you really trust Him? It's okay if you don't. Go ahead and admit it; I had to myself not very long ago. Trust can be really hard sometimes, but, often, it's the hardest things that bring the most joy. Choose right now to trust God with your future.  It couldn't be in better hands! When you really believe that He will take care of everything and make your love story beautiful, you can live without worrying over when Prince Charming will show up. You can have joy that only comes from the Father. So choose to trust Him and join me on this path the world calls crazy. 

This is where real love happens.

  1. Hey Gabrielle I loved u post and look forward to reading your blog!

    I am proud to be able to say the same as you!....I've never had a boyfriend!

    There is this quote I found that I really like....it says when I'm older & my daughter
    asks me who my first love was
    I don't want to have to pull out
    the old photo album.
    I want to be able to point across
    the room & say
    hes sitting right over there. <3

    Your post made me think of it.;)

  3. Good morning, Gabrielle!
    I appreciate your stand and testimony and pray God uses this blog to bless many.
    You're definitely not alone. I'm three-and-a-half decades old and I can proudly say the same things: I've never had a boyfriend. I've never had my heart broken by multiple break-ups. I've never given myself to anyone by my God.
    It may sound strange to most of the world, but being heart-whole (without pieces of my heart and memories damaged by unhealthy relationships) is a very precious thing to me.
    Purity is undervalued in our day, yet so infinitely, incalculably valuable.

    Keep trusting, and God Bless you!

    And Anna, I love the quote you shared.
