lets talk about sex, baby.

Sex, always a topic of discussion with every circle of friends but yesterday it seemed to be the only topic for discussion between me and all of my friends I talked to yesterday.
Everything from sex with a boyfriend, sex with a stranger, sex for rebellion purposes, boys views of sex, girls views of sex, sex with an ex boyfriend, and of course.. saving sex for marriage.

I cant help but think God was trying to tell me something yesterday and I will admit, I learned a lot about myself and my life through this unplanned sex-filled day.

My heart broke so many times yesterday listening to my friends talk about sleeping around.
From the girl who had just broken up with her boyfriend wanting a good time with lots of different guys, to the boy who was trying to stay good and pure when surrounded by teammates who just wanted drugs, alcohol, and lots of sex from random girls, to the girl who has been a Christian her whole life and is now ready to rebel and explore what the world has to offer.
Every story is heart breaking hearing how sexual relationships effect so much more than just yourself.

But the best sex based discussion was between me and one of my best friends. It was through that discussion that I realized every struggle with sex before marriage is worth so much more than sleeping around before then.

As girls we want attention and affection from men and the thought of rejection is horrifying. But we have to remember that we are blessed, as Christians, to have the Holy Spirit living inside of us and remember our bodies are temples and the home of the living God!

I may sound like I'm preaching, and maybe I am. So what! My heart has been breaking the last 24 hours for girls and boys struggling with sex before marriage and I just pray that everyone sees how amazing they are! We are all children of God who deserve the most respect possible!

And if I am going to be completely honest, I did not understand the concept and importance of saving yourself for marriage until this past year and more so the past 6 months.  But now I agree with waiting until marriage 100%! All of us should be saved for Jesus and our spouses!

It's a daily struggle in everyone's life but it's just one more place in our lives that we must surrender to God and use His strength as our strength! We can do it! And centering yourself with friends who will hold you accountable and responsible for your actions will help.  God calls us to companionship but he also calls us to Godly companionships whether it be in friendships, relationships with the oposite sex, parents, teachers, elders.. everyone! And part of that Godly relationship is keeping each other in check, showing touch love when needed, and encouraging each other!

So be a friend! Be positive and real! Jesus was rejected and ridiculed first, there's nothing we cant do and nothing that can hurt us with Him! Jesus is our victory so dont let fear of rejection stand in your way from staying pure, holding your friends accountable, or ending a relationship that is sexually impure!


"For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age," - Titus 2:11-12


"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people." -Ephesians 5:3


"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." -1 Corinthians 6:18

easter weekend.

Happy belated Easter! 

I must admit that this weekend was truly blessed for me! Growing up church, Jesus, and the truth was never important. In fact, I don't know that when I was younger I had ever really heard the story of Easter. This still holds true for my family, they are not big believers and their faith is not strong. But Jesus Christ, as always, worked miracles and put it on the hearts of half of my family to come to Norman and go to my church with me and experience the Jesus side of Easter instead of the bunny side. 

As heart breaking as it is, my littlest brother who is 10 had never heard the story of Easter and had never been informed of what Jesus did for us! After I told him everything and told him that Jesus loves him very much and wants to be with him thats why he died on the Cross for our sins.. my brother responded with "Thats the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me". It was the most precious, amazing, God centered and touching conversation I have ever had! Praise the Lord! No one else could have made that impact on my whole family but Him!  

Not only did God move in my family's hearts but he also moved in my roommate and her boyfriends heart as well.  After asking and talking about church all year they both decided to go with us on Sunday and really seemed to enjoy it.  Another miracle because I never thought I'd get them to church! Praise the Lord! He is so strong and mighty! Nothing is impossible without him! 

It was a great great Easter and I could not have asked for anything more! :) 

O the blood of Jesus washes me 
O the blood of Jesus shed for me 
What a sacrifice that saved my life 
Yes, the blood, it is my victory

Check that off the Bucket List!

Segway. Segway. Segway.
Last night was absolutely amazing. One of my best friends and I headed down to Bricktown to have dinner at our favorite Mexican place and go see the new movie, Water for Elephants!

Dinner at Chelino's, as always, was unbelievable. I will say that is one of the perks of living in Oklahoma, we have great Mexican food!

We had almost 2 hours to kill between dinner and the movie. The weather was absolutely gorgeous so we decided just to walk around and people watch. I will add that before dinner there was a storm blowing in & I'm pretty sure it's only in Oklahoma that you can drive through Bricktown and see everyone dressed up on the sidewalk looking up at the clouds making weather and tornado predictions!

Drum roll please...
During our walk we found the "Bricktown Segway Rental"!!!!!
Of course, we wanted to ride Segways! So we did it! We rented two for thirty minutes. And I can honestly say that it was the best, most fun thirty minutes I've had in a long time!

Segway-ing officially has a spot in my heart and a fund in my financial life.
The "get Bree a Segway fund"

Our night was ended with the movie, Water for Elephants! Which was the icing on the cake. We did not want the movie to be over! It was really good. Reese Witherspoon is drop dead gorgeous and did her own stunts on the Elephant, Rosie :) and Robert Pattinson looked .. well.. really really attractive for once!

It was a pretty perfect Good Friday night <3
Celebrating the death of Jesus Christ on the cross for our sins! & praise the Lord for that!!
