You can make anything new.

i have been crucified with Christ and i no longer live, but Christ lives in me. the life i now live in the body, i live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. [galatians 2:20]
some things honestly seem too good to be true. this is my first real relationship, and to be completely technical, my first boyfriend. (what happened when i was 15? that one thing 7 years ago? entirely irrelevant and doesn’t count for anything.) our plan for friday is to go look at… engagement rings. ever since this all came together, i can’t stop thinking about how i don’t understand most (not all, most) relationships in the world without Jesus. i cannot possibly fathom just getting with someone just to get with them, date, engage in some kind of sexual activity for a time, break up, find someone else, and do it all over again. over and over and over. chris and i will not even kiss on the lips until our wedding day. the concept of “dating around” and doing so based only on physical attraction or even brief personality attraction is so foreign to me.. especially because i have never done it, even before i turned to Jesus and led a christian lifestyle. and all i can say is i am honestly very glad that i never experienced that. the way things are right now feel pretty much awesome.
