Make your promise to God, find some other Godly gals in your network or church and speak to them about what's been going on(I imagine this has happened already) and tell them you want to be accountable to them when it comes to that stuff. Journal about it and take it one day at a time.

Peace to you

Do whatever you feel God is leading you to do and He will bless you in it! :) Some people need the ring as a reminder and that isn't a bad thing. Just remember that when you are tempted, seek out the Lord's help.

As of recently, I have been leaning back towards my faith, especially since my boyfriend broke up with me. There is one thing I really regret, which was having premarital sex. I truly don't want my relationships in the future to be based off of sex.

I believe God is forgiving and I know that some people still get purity rings, and of course make the accompanying vow, after circumstances l have been through.. thoughts? opinions?
Vow or no vow, determine in your heart that you will not fornicate anymore, your heart is cleansed because you are repentant about your past..if you were not? and just doing it out of duty? then it wouldn't be real or right.

God DOES make all things new and you are a new creation..
He sends your sin as far as the east is to the west when you confess and are repentant..
I was married.. AND had 4 kids and am single..and have been 5 years.. I made a heart covenant with God
to be celibate until marriage..
it was hard when I was dating my ex boyfriend recently, but I still maintained it..knowing if I give in to him,
not only will it be displeasing to God but I would rob my future husband (if God so wills one for me)
of having someone who at least for several years was newly pure..just for him.
If he is also a christian man (true one) this will mean something to him..
It will mean that I didn't give myself to a bunch of different people once surrendered to God and it will mean that I won't tempt HIM to fall..

So now.. what you do with that is up to you..
and remember, if you don't want to get stung, stay away from bees :)
in other words make sure you don't allow yourself to be in situations where you may stumble or at the worst, fall..
this isn't easy.. I know!!!
but if you link yourself with anyone in the future make sure they have the same conviction as you.. TRULY
(and you can tell.. he will respect your body and not try to do things that are disrespectful and men CAN do this..I know I know a few that wouldn't touch the women that were to be their future wives, in a way that was inappropriate due to their fear of and respect for God and their lady)
don't settle for less than those who share your heart and don't compromise..because that gives the devil a foothold :)

If you want to wear a ring to symbolize it? do so..hey at the very least it will tell potential mates where your heart is, right?
if they notice:)

you are doing good:) keep on keeping on with Jesus:)

Personally, I have a pair of "purity socks", that I'm never taking off till I get married.
So far, no girl will stand close enough to talk to me.

But hey, if any girl can get past the socks... at least I'll be pure.

: )
You're so funny!
