Life can be stressful sometimes…
My life has been so stressful at work these days. We are not very busy. It is just that it is hard to get along with your co-workers sometimes, most especially with your supervisors or those who are above you. If something bad happened, they always blame on us. I don’t like it when they do that. They just want to wash their own hands. Well, I guess this is my life for now. I am just thankful to God that I have a job despite the economic status that we are facing right now. Jobs are hard to come by these days. Right? I am not planning on staying and working longer in my job. I would like to have a small business someday. I pray I could achieve it before this year ends. I am just tired of working for somebody else.
Anyhow, enough of this, I am just venting my feelings out. I was really frustrated at work. You know what time flies. Sooner or later, I might find other means to make more money, right? And speaking of time, wow, we are in the middle of this month. This month of January will be over before we know it. And then February comes… Valentines Day. Opps, Valentines Day… I would like to send my mom in-law a bouquet of flowers for Valentines. She is so nice to me. I better find some Flower coupons to get some discounts. I just love coupons. Well, time to go. I need to relax and forget what happened today but learned from it.
Grandma’s Sex Handbook
In this day and age, many movies, shows, books, magazines, and the like are filled with suggestions about sex. We see many pairs engaged in pre-marital sex. Today’s sex-saturated civilization and society loads our minds with various reasons to rush and have sex outside of marriage. Some would try to have sex before marriage to see if they are compatible sexually, etc. As Christians, we should not follow this earthly wisdom. I would say that premarital sex is a sin. According to statistics garnered from several studies, couples that cohabitate prior to marriage are more likely to get a divorce than those couples that do not. Sex is a pleasurable and yet powerful thing and must be done as God, the creator of both men and women and sexuality, intended, and that is inside of marriage. We must understand what is God’s purpose for sex. God wants men and women to enjoy sexual activity within the limits of marriage. Sex before marriage can lead to sexually transmitted diseases, abortions, unwed mothers and unwanted pregnancies, and children growing up without a parent in their lives. There is a great risk of contracting STDs and AIDS or getting pregnant, anguish, regret and emptiness. Self-restraint is the only guiding principle when it comes to sex before marriage. Through self-discipline and abstinence, we can lives and give honor to God.
Okay, we have concluded that sex before marriage is harmful, but then what? Where do Christian woman find out about sex in a healthy context, besides from the media or a fallen society? After all, sex can be intimidating all on it’s own, apart from modern ideas about sex and even when one abstains and waits until marriage. Today, I would like to talk about Grandma’s Sex Handbook by Anne Wright. The book gives solid sexual advice for Christian women. Grandma’s Sex Handbook motivates and inspires Christian women to understand sexuality as God’s creation. It gives explicit advice to young women (and it wouldn’t hurt if men read it too) who may be engaged or already married. What really surprised me in this book is Sexual Fantasy Cookbook. These are the ways to improve sexual relationship within marriage context. The book also emphasizes that it’s ok for a wife to enjoy and want sex, and a wife should keep her husband sexually satisfied. Ultimately, it would be good if this wisdom and advice was passed down from grandmother to mother to daughter, etc., but in this day and age the common sense provided in this book is no longer very common. The book has an overview of what our attitudes and views, as Christian woman should be regarding married sex, as well as explicit advice regarding specific sexual issues, such as sexual positions, oral sex, porn, masturbation, fantasies, lusts, etc. I can say that I am really amazed by this book. This book is highly recommended.
New Year! New Opportunities!
New Year is a new beginning of new opportunities. Let’s take advantage of every opportunity that will come in to our lives 
this year. A new year is a new start for us to make new goals and plans for our life. And we should write them down so we won’t forget these things. I am a person who forgets things if I don’t write them down like for example, before I’d go to the store, I should bring a shopping list with me, otherwise, I just forget what I need to buy…. and the consequence is I’d grab things out of plan. This is just a tiny analogy but if we jot down our plans and goals for this year, there is a great chance that we could achieve them all. And above all, build a stronger relationship with God. As Matthew 6:33 states,”But seek ye first the kingdom of God,and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”. We must learn is to rely on God and not our own strength. We should look to Him for all our needs because He opens up the way for us. So, submit everything to God this year. And trust God to lead us in the way we should go. He makes our paths straight.
