i am crying right with you , especially with speaking to your younger self . there’s so much deliverance, freedom, peace and (true) love with following Christ. i pray for your confidence, courage and continuous walk with Him sister 💚 i came across this video bc i was contemplating getting my ring , now i will 🤞🏽
So proud of you for openly confessing your sins. Let me give you a different perspective on this. Although I never had sex I still was a sinner. I lusted and I was worthy of it all. Sin isn’t what we did, it is who we were. That’s why no sinner is worse than another. Then Jesus came into our lives and behold, all things are become new. I hope you wear your ring with confidence and I pray that you can heal from your past. I know you are meant to be something great. Your testimony is so powerful. God bless you!
@@brianahaugerstephens Awesome testimony sis, and you have nothing to be ashamed of, we all have sinned and fallen short. But Jesus Christ is our savior. 1st John 1:9, If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. Micah 7:19... You will have mercy on us again, You will conquer our sins. You will throw away all our sins into the deepest part of the ocean and remember them no more. Also read Hebrews 8:12. Stay strong sis and continue to spend even more time with God. Because the way this world is headed, we need all the strength from God we can get to persevere to the end. God bless you fam!
When I tell you I just BAWLED watching this. I’m so proud of you and speaking to so many of us who have similar pasts. You are such an inspiration in so many ways.
This is so encouraging, especially the reminder that we can always turn our back on the sin, oftentimes we forget that and so we dwell in sins and feel bad instead of simply starting new. You can be so proud and thank you for putting this up, sharing it with the world, you have great courage
I love how bold and brave you are. Bri you are such a light and a joy to be around. God has transformed you BEAUTIFULLY, and he is going to use you SO BIG!!!!!
Thank you. I feel the weight and regret also. If only I had a relationship with him earlier in my life and I held myself to a higher standard. But I do find relief when I put my focus on God and remember he loves me.
Thank you for sharing this. I really needed to be reminded of the Truth. God is using you to speak to me and I'm so grateful He's using social media for good. God bless you ❤️❤️
Okay I feel like this is a safe space and I got a issue I do not have a purity ring My sisters do The reason why I don’t have one is because I was molested when I was 6 I’ve had others and even grown men ask me why I don’t have one because my sisters do ( I usually just say idk and get away as soon as possible) I have come to despise this practice and it’s only because the ability to practice it was stolen from me Idk what to do or how to feel
My heart breaks for you for what you went through Sis. I hope you seek comfort from the Lord. You were put in that traumatic situation unwillingly, and that should not stop you from getting a purity ring because you are as deserving of it as your sisters. And even if you did stuff after that God forgives! As long as you are fully repentant and trust in Him, He will forgive you. A purity ring signifies so much more than virginity, it signifies a promise and a covenant you make with God to continue trusting in Him whether it is you praying and waiting for Him to give you the right man or anything else. The purity ring will be a constant reminder of your promises to God and to yourself. Pray about it and see what the Lord tells you to do!
Your gut reaction is right. These things are exploitative, creepy, and wrong when forced on you by adults. This girl chose it herself so that’s okay. Still A girls sex life is no one’s business and should not be worn on your body as a symbol of the most private part of your life. I am so sorry you are made to feel this way. No adult - NO ONE -should ask you about your private sex life. And that includes in a roundabout way by talking about a purity ring. Baby you are pure. Sex does not make you impure. And especially unwanted sex. You are pure and beautiful and whole - nothing will change that - not some pedophilr who should be in jail and not some judgmental church lady. Either way That is none of their business and they are creeps and possibility pedophiles themselves. Think of it from an adults perspective. Pedophiles have a vested interest in knowing which girls are more likely to not tell an adult if they are molested. It would be to their benefit to know if a girl has been molested in the past - that way they know that girl is more likely to allow it of does not have a proper support system. men and old women should not care what kids are doing in their bedrooms. - those people are probably getting their jollies off of talking about your virginity or lack of. Do not buy yourself a “purity ring” just because your sisters have them. You have a right not to be reminded of that trauma and hell everyday of your life on your finger. Dont for a minute feel like you're not as good as the girks with purity rings. tell yourself this anytime you feel guilt: sex is biology. every creature does it. you were created for it. its not that big a part of your life. its biology. and anyone who asks why you don't have a purity ring can go to hell themselves. sorry for the rant. but im sorry.
Amen I’m praying for you sister God brought you this far he will finish his work in your life stay strong in the faith God loves you. And I love you sister in Christ 🙏❤️
Just came across your video ; you have a beautiful spirit and I will pray for your peace! Don’t listen to those outside voices God knows your heart and you’re specific journey! 🙏🏼🖤
I await to see how God’s plan and blessings unravel for your life ❤. You are beautiful and you surpass them all you are a rare find. God loves you! He’s forgiven you and He sees you as his jewel 💎
I am crying because God is WORKING IN MY LIFE! He is blessing me when I’ve messed up so much! But he sees me trying! & this is just my sign! Ima go get it finally because I have MESSED UP! I put it off for so long for the same reason, because I’ve messed up alr! But god redeemed me. He loves me. And he SEES ME FOR ME ! Not my mistakes!
Lame. Dear lord, please help me get my virginity back and help me to be more judgemental of the people who don't live or believe as I do now. Help me tell myself that I am now better than everyone else who isn't a christian. Make me believe that a 2000 year old book tells us how we should live today without exception. Lastly, Help me to find a man who is now as lame as I am and is willing to wait until marriage to enjoy the physical side of love that normal people experience and don't feel an abnormal guilt over. Also, help me to say purity ring in a way that doesn't sound like I'm saying "period ring". AMEN.
God knows that we aren’t perfect he knows that at some point we all will sin and that’s why he is forgiving. He knows your heart and he knows at the time u didn’t know any better ! Let the weight go, he forgives you and he loves u and he welcomes u no matter how many tries it takes u to get it right 🫶🏼

Okay I feel like this is a safe space and I got a issue
I do not have a purity ring
My sisters do
The reason why I don’t have one is because I was molested when I was 6
I’ve had others and even grown men ask me why I don’t have one because my sisters do ( I usually just say idk and get away as soon as possible)
I have come to despise this practice and it’s only because the ability to practice it was stolen from me
Idk what to do or how to feel
