Enjoy real testimonies we have received from men and women like you around the world!

I’ve been saved for as long as I could remember, but fornication was a sin that I’ve battled for YEARS. I grew up being taught to wait until marriage to have sex, but peer pressure and hormones caused me to stray (I truly comment young ladies who have waited and held onto their virginity! I know it isn’t easy.) God always spoke to me about this and I always knew it was wrong, but I’d try to justify it because “everyone else was doing it”. I’ve come to realize in my spiritual growth and stronger relationship with God that He has called me to be an example and rise above all of that. I’m in my early 30′s now and single and have decided that the next man I have sex with will be my husband, if marriage is in God’s will for me. Sex before marriage causes so much heartache and confusion and distraction from my purpose and my relationship with God, and I’m “over” it. I’m actually quite excited about this new journey and proud of myself for arriving at this place (finally). I appreciate sites like this and knowing that I am not the only one gives me more encouragement.

I am 20 years old and a virgin.. I  know I am worth the wait because God has something and someone special for my life.. I am so happy I did!

Raven , Pensacola, Fl

So there was this guy I sort of liked, right? (Don’t worry, this story isn’t going where you think it might.) He said I was beautiful and that he loved me and that he would be willing to wait for me. He didn’t. He lied. The next thing I knew, he came crawling back to me asking for forgiveness because he’d had a one-night stand with a girl he barely knew! That ended our relationship, though we kept being friends until I decided, “You know what, I’m better than this baggage” and broke it off entirely. Shortly before that I’d bought a purity ring to remind myself what’s at stake. I don’t always wear it, but I always think about it. And when I do wear it, I wear it on my left ring finger. Why? Because one day, I’ll replace it with a wedding ring. I know God has picked out someone for me; I just haven’t found him yet. That other boy taught me one thing, though, and it is this: once you “give it up,” it’s not coming back. It’s gone for good. It made me decide to save myself for THE guy–for Mr. Perfect–and to wait until our wedding night. So I guess that other boy, while not worth my time, was a good lesson for me to learn. Waiting has never been so nice.

I am worth the wait because I am a precious child of God first and foremost! I am 25, single, and pursuing my dream of becoming a dental hygienist! I am a “renewed virgin” in Christ Jesus and I couldn’t be any happier. I regret not waiting on God to bless me with a mate and in turn suffered many heartbreaks. I thank God for forgiving me of my past and washing all old things away! I made a vow that I will not defile my body no matter how bad my flesh cries out! My desire is to be in God’s perfect will for my life and experience the best that God has for me! This website has inspired me and also gave me encouragement to not give up for I know God will reward my obedience beyond what I could ever ask! I know that my desire to marry and have a family will be answered when God feels as though it is time……….until then I am focusing on God and school! I will become a dental hygienist in Spring 2015. Dr Lindsay please keep me in your prayers……you are such an inspiration to me may  God continue to bless you and your husband :) :) :) :)

Shateeka Phillips R.D.H. (Registered Dental Hygienist)  Delaware Technical Community College grad 2015

I am a 21 year old college student & I am proud to say that I am a virgin. I used to be shy to share that with people but now I feel like its a good thing because I know that I’m doing it God’s way! I have had my share of struggles with sexual temptation with my ex but God removed him from my life and now I am back on track fully pursuing complete sexual purity. I know that I am worth the wait and would love to share my gift with my future husband one day. It will be beautiful! God’s way is best…Be encouraged everyone =)

Ashley Harris

I am more than two breast, I am more than a vagina, I am more than my curves and I am more than my beauty. I am worth the wait. The Word says, they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. I believe that not only our strength will be renewed, but our purity. My body is God’s temple, and i refuse to allow anything to defile it. I choose purity. :)

Latoya

I am 24 years old and I thank GOD and His amazing grace for keeping me despite compromising situations. I have made up in my mind that I will wait until I am married to have sex. I am worth the wait because I have accepted and believed that I am a precious GIFT from God whose value is worth the right person at the right time. I’ve learned that Purity is POSSIBLE!

Yodit Kifle

Hello Dr. Lindsay!

We are so grateful for your materials!  The girls loved the book and the conference went great!  20 girls dedicated their lives to Christ and about 59 made a pledge to walk in sexual purity- abstinence until marriage.  We are looking forward to the next conference.  Do you have information that you send  out regarding booking?  Attached is the card we printed with your 10 choices.  I am sending you the publisher version and the pdf.

Thank you so much for your ministry, it has really touched our lives!

Blessings,

Worth the Wait Sleepover! L. Marcus, North Carolina

I’m 22 and I’ve decided to become celibate. It was a decision that was made on my own after having alot of alone time. I feel that I am worth wayy more than just my body, and if your’re willing to wait around to see then you don’t deserve me.This is the best thing I could have ever done. I am ready to begin a new and healthy relationship with GOD.. I know that GOD will bless me with the one who truly deserves me. Not as if Im in a rush though:)

Shiniece

It is lonely! I am junior in college and I think I can count the number of folks keeping their purity (about three). None of my Christian friends are virgins either. It makes me look around and think “God, is it worth it?” but I was so incredibly encouraged by this site to know that I had not made a mistake, that I am doing the right thing and that God will come through. Bearing this cross is the hardest thing to do in this crazy backwards world, but to do it for God’s glory makes it so worth it. Let Him shine through my body and my life. I felt so discouraged and alone in this walk but I just have a newfound joy for this journey I’m on! :)

Be blessed!
(I have a lengthier testimony in which I shout-out Dr. Lindsay.)

Before worth the wait had been invited to my church, I had already made up in my mind that I wanted to be a born again virgin.  Worth the wait really increased my motivation to let me know it was possible to achieve this goal.Beeing in church many people don’t share their personal stories that their struggling with things just like you but thanks to worth the wait, I no longer feel alone in this walk.

Onye

(After a current model shared about WTWR, her fellow classmate wrote this) I checked out the web site and I think what that organization, Worth the Wait Revolution, is doing is just beautiful. The founder and her husband are a gorgeous couple physically as well as through what they represent. Congratulations to you on your decision to stay pure and to publicly announce this is Jesus name! Thank you for sharing this with us. This web site needs to be plastered on public bathroom walls, the sides of buses, on taxi cabs, on billboards, everywhere. I love the fact that they are working to replace being a virgin as taboo with being a virgin as the norm as well as replacing the double standard of sex regarding the role of gender, male and female. Thanks again for sharing. God bless.

May the Lord’s will always be done.

Keep the Revolution alive …This so inspiring to those who are virgins (whether for religious reasons or other reasons) and for those who are not… More people, young and old need to value  with more integrity and diginity the bodies that God has given us…With the HIV/AIDS rate in this country, especially among fellow African Amercian sistas in the USA, we must regain our sense of self love and self respect for ourselves beyond being an object for sexual gratification. We must regard and honor our spirits…When a spirit is broken, other forms of destruction to one’s self will follow…In a world where so much depends on what is physically tangible, the spirit is often forgotten…It is so awesome to know that women and men who hold a substantial regard for their bodies and spirits, like myself, are still walking this Earth fighting the good fight…Much Peace, Many Blessings, and Much Love…Keep The Revolution Going…PEACE

Sheena Fox

I appreciate you for your efforts of promoting purity in a sexual perverse society. I know it’s possible to live a lifestyle of abstinence and discipline.  I struggle at times, but I know I’m worth the wait. My desire is to please God and set a legacy for my siblings and children to come. I thank God for inspiring you to begin the revolution.  I look forward to what’s ahead. I’m in the Orlando area. Hope you guys come this way soon! Blessings to all!

I’m 24 years old. Ever since the age of 15, after receiving Christ as my Lord & Savior, I have vowed to remain pure until marriage. This revolution is great! Thank you for your outspoken & bold spirit. God bless you, Dr. Marsh!

Vontrail Passmore

I’m a 44 year old happily married women for over 10 years now and I was abstinent for 7 years ages 27-34 before I got married, it was one of the best decisions of my life. I lived the scripture “therefore if any man be in christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold all things are become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17. My marriage has been blessed the entire 10 years and Gods promises have made us fruitful. Due to my volunteering for the GGG teen conference 2010 and Min. Lindsay’s testimony, I have started a virgin or abstinance until I get married club with 15 girls in my family. We are 1 year strong now and praise God I was worth the wait and now Iam teaching others they are too.

Sherry Bailey
Oxon Hill, Maryland

I am 21 years old, and was violated at the age of 10. That opened up the door to sexual attention, feelings, and emotions. With my biological father being absent from my life, I grew older searching for a masculine love. I am now ready to form a new relationship with GOD and WAIT ON HIM. I know my value and I deserve for someone to repect me and my body for the true gift that I AM. Thank you Dr. Marsh for this organization you have created. You are a blessing, and a tool I will use to wait because I am worth the wait!

Antiqua, Greensboro NC

I am 21 years old, and I have suffured with the idea that my body is the best thing I have to offer. I have recently made the choice to save myself for the man that God has for me. I was watching BET and on the Church Annoucements I saw the Book. I believe that this is a confirmation for me. Thank you for investing in the values of woman and men. I know that this new road will be hard because of what my flesh is used to but I know that I will not be alone. God bless. I Hope to contribute and purchase frequently from you all in the future. I pray that God continues to bless you all and others that reach out to you. Thank you all again!

Antiqua Maberson

Dear Dr. Lindsay, I was sent a link to your website after an advocate from Illinois Right to Life attending a screening of a DVD I assisted Janks Morton with “We Need to Talk” a message to our daughters.  At the heart of K. Byrd Group is the message of living an uncompromised life.  I am at the opposite spectrum of your testimony, now a 34 year old unmarried mother of 3, former teen-age mother and molested as a child.  However, the redemptive blood of Christ has made me free and now the passion of my heart is to help every person I can know the power to live/love from the inside out and not to be defined by a fallen world.

Kenisha Byrd

Hi Lindsay!

I know that you don’t know me, but several years ago, I attended an event at Goucher College in MD, and I believe you were one of the vendors there.  I remembered your testimony of choosing to wait until the Lord sent you your husband before having sex.  I was impressed by you because I too shared the same testimony.  I think at that time you were either about 30 years old or close to 30.  I think then I was around 25 years old or so.  Lord knows that I’ve struggled along the way wondering when my time would come, and experiencing occassional frustrations.  But I thank the Lord for keeping me along the way and encouraging me to stay strong.  At any rate, the Lord blessed me with a wonderful husband and we were united in marriage on May 14, 2011.  I am now 29, and I can truly say that marriage was truly worth the wait!  The Lord sent me exactly who I needed as my husband, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.  Thank you for choosing to share your testimony, and encouraging others like me to continue waiting on the Lord for my good thing.  May the Lord continue to bless you and your husband in your ministry.

Courtney Payne

When guys started noticing me in high school, my dad told me that I could be a “has been” or somebody. He explained that has beens chase guys and have sex with a bunch of different people. Somebodies focused on getting good grades in school and making something positive out of themselves. He said that somebodies were the people who saved their virginity for their spouse. This lesson really helped me make the best decisions in my life. At thirty years old, I am still single. I have no idea if the Lord plans to bless me with a husband, but I like the idea that I can stand before the Lord with a pure heart someday even if I never marry. My relationship with the Lord has taught me what real love is all about.

Robin Clark

Praise the Lord! I am 28 yrs old and am abstinent. The Lord is not only the head of my life, He IS my life. Making the decision to wait has been the best experience that has ever happened to me. After living sexually in sin, and gainging nothing but heartache and pain, I just said “Lord, I’m tired”. Tired of Looking for what I thought was love. And I made a vow between me and God, and left it all in His hands. I am worth waiting for. This is an inspiration to all women and men after God’s own heart. God Bless you.

Anastasia Malett

My innocence was taken from me when I was 6 years old, then my virginity when I was 13, at gunpoint.  For 9 years of my life I was molested and raped.  By the time I was 14, I just didn’t care.  I thought it was why I was put here and nobody told me otherwise.  Sure, my parents told me about Jesus and told me to say no if somebody did something I didn’t like, but what if I DID like it?  Not until I was 16 did I finally stop having sex with boys.  I waited until I was 19 and then got married.  I will celebrate 20 years at the end of this month, faithfully with the same man.  While we were dating, he revealed that he had been molested, too.  He and I are also youth missionaries now.  See?  God does work miracles.

T.S. Berry

I am taking a vow to be a born again virgin. I am worth the wait. The way I have been treated, abused, and used from living a life of impurity has made my decision final. I believe the Lord has been trying to guide me towards this lifestyle and I was denying it and ignoring it. Now that I have found God and accepted the Lord in my heart he has showed me the way. This is the right way and it feels right in my heart to do this.

Becky

Hey I just wanted to tell you that I love what you’re doing that I think it’s awesome.  We’re a midsized “indie” youth ministry here in Columbus Ohio and we’re battling with the homosexual and bisexual thing with our kids as well as the sleeping around.  I wish we had the money to bring you guys to our back yard.  We have no facility but if we did, and if we had the money, you’d be there.  God bless!

John & Tonya Berry  Columbus, OH

Dr. Lindsay, I’d just like to thank you and your husband for your commitment to sharing this message.  Since attending the recent True Love Waits rally in Cleveland, OH, with my daughter and two of her friends, I have been encouraged and on fire to communicate this message to the youth that I encounter.  My daughter and I read your book together and truly enjoyed every page of it as well as the dialog that it promoted.  We completed this with her making a covenant with God to remain pure until marriage, and is now proudly wearing her purity ring and boldly sharing the message with her peers.  I have been a youth leader for over 15 years and have held many conversations, sessions and discussions with youth on this subject and look forward to using and providing your book as a resource and tool, because of it’s effectiveness, to more and more young people.   I am continually praying for your ministry and for the revolution to continue to spread.

Anna

Before I sat down to look for on this topic of sexual purity and salvation I prayed for God to show me something that was going to give me some hope. When I began to read the about section I began to cry and thank God. I don’t feel so lonely. Thank you :-)

Keisha May
This is Barbara “Barbie” Mack. I just wanted to say that your ministry at the Worth the Wait Conference at Kingdom COME Ministries was very inspiring.I really enjoyed listening to you and your husband speak. I know that God has truly called me to minister to younger girls involving the things that I have been through. I really believe that hearing you and your husband speak, had reignited the fire for ministry in me. I want to personally thank you for that opportunity.
Barbie Mack

I’m so excited to learn about this website and its resources by another woman, a successful one at that who waited, and the Lord provided her a good man to match her purity. I’m a 28 yr old virgin who’s seen how wrong sexual decisions can destroy a person’s purpose and destiny. I like that Dr. Marsh-Warren didn’t kiss her until her wedding day – KUDOS. It seemed strange to my (ex) boyfriend when I shared my vow to never kiss or have sex until I’m married, so thanks for the encouragement. Virginity is still in style!

Juanita E.L. Cameron, Maryland

I was at the confrence you just spoke at and I was about to do stuff I knew I wasnt suppose to do. But after hearing what you had to say I know this is God’s body and -I AM WORTH THE WAIT.  MY NEW SAYING is if you cant respect me and my body then you need to step!

Tyrayne Coleman

Hello and blessings to Mr. and Mrs. Warren. The two of you have been such a blessing this past weekend in Pittsburgh, PA. My name is Tequaila “Purity” Coleman; I am 20 years old, I’ve been raised in Lighthouse Cathedral of Pgh since age 1. I am a receptionist, student (Liberal Arts& Pschyc) and aspiring artist. (Author, singer, poet, etc.) I’ve been waiting for 20 years and will continue to wait on the man that God has for me! Thank you all for the encouragement to press on!

Tequaila Purity Coleman

WTWR has been used by God to increase my trust and faith in God, as well as confindence in myself, that I can continue to wait. I made a committment almost 2 years ago that I will pursue celibacy for my relationship with God and to be used as an example to my brothers and sisters in Christ. When I heard this conference was coming to Clairton, PA, I knew I had to be there so, that I can get fed with knowledge and spiritual understanding of celibacy. I thank God so much for WTWR. The conference was a true and fulfilling experience from God that I AM WORTH THE WAIT. Thank you for allowing God to use you to inspire, encourage, and to be used an example of His kingdom’s righteousness through sexual purity. God Bless!!

Ronisha R. Watkins

I just got out of a bad relationship where  this man took all I was worth but your site just made me feel like I am somebody and I am truly worth the wait. The word tells me that I am the apple of God’s eye and so I  have on my purity ring and I am going to take your advice and wait till God sends me my husband.. Thank you for this site and your story , I pray that one day I can get the book and I know it will help more :)

Jacquanet

Before i was saved i thought waiting until marriage was just something i had to do. Because i was raised in the church. I lost my virginity at the age of 17 and “thought” i was in love. four years later i became the daughter of the most high and made a covenant to the Lord and myself to wait for my beloved.
-Imuwahen 21

You are a beautiful woman that has majorly influenced me in this walk of sexual purity. I am a member of SOFCC, Temple Hill, and also a member of FREE Ministry with Minister Dee Dee Cutler. She invited me to Howard event this past Friday and I was glad to confirm your marriage.  I am 50 years old and determined to be a Virtuous woman and walk the walk of “Worth the Wait,” which I know is right and I deserve.
God bless and congratulations on your life!

Laurie M. Sayles

I just wanted to say to you and your husband THANK YOU for sharing your marriage with us! Your testimony is very powerful, and my children and I were very blessed to have heard it! My children made promises yesterday to remain pure until their wedding night (my daughter picked out a purity t-shirt; and right after we got home, my son got online to find a True Love Waits purity ring)!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) I will do my best to keep you and your husband in prayer on a regular basis. I especially appreciated how you two were so affectionate with each other; and how your husband verbalized how “sexy “you are to him…and how your sexual relationship is “hot”! Beautiful! Our kids need to be constantly reminded that Godly sex IS sexy, erotic AND HOLY!
Thanks once again for your transparency. My son read your entire book last night (cool!)

Your sister in Christ,
Sonji Boyd

I am so greatful there is someone bold enough to bring this to the forefront. I am practicing abstinence and get nothing but criticisim from “So called” Christian men, ministers included, who say they are Christians but who say they are not willing to wait for sex until marriage. What irony. God bless you.

I am so inspired and encouraged by your testimony. I am 27 years old and a virgin. I am thankful and grateful for God’s grace and mercy for keeping me this long. Waiting for God’s best is worth it. By listening to your testimony and watching how God is blessing you for your diligence increases my faith to wait on God for my love. Waiting can be done. He will keep those who wants to be kept. Keep doing what you do.

I’m a Young adult from MTN… Ministry. I am 18yrs old and I am abstinent. I believe the word of God is true and I live by God’s standards for life. I’m also a poet www.bornagainbeliever.co.nr I’m driven to represent my generation in a Godly lifestyle. I think your WTW revolution is needed to encourage purity. God Bless this awesome form of ministry.

“I know you don’t know me personally but I just wanted to let you know how blessed I was by your testimony at Mt Gilead tonight. Tonight helped me to realize my worth and who I am in Christ. I was able to end a relationship in which I was unequally yolked and was engaging in sexual sin just to feel loved. What I didn’t realize was that God loved me. today I realized that I too am worth the wait! So again thank you so very much for allowing God to use you to minister to me!”

R. In Richmond

I was lead to your website about a year ago by what I thought was an accident. I now know that it was God that had allowed me to come across this inspirational site because now here it is a whole year later and wouldn’t you know it I came across your site again. I am not a virgin but I do aspire to surrender my body unto and be cleansed from my past sins. Thus walking in the way God will have me to go as well I know pray to one day be married. I have not read your book as of yet but I’m looking forward to reading. I thank God that he has purposed you to deliver a message such as this. It is also reassuring to know that although I’ve sinned in the past and I still struggle with sexual desires that God still loves me and is calling me to step out on faith and trust him in the area of sexual purity.

Many blessings in all that you are doing to deliver the message that God has purposed you with.

Lawanda Wells

I am so very excited to have come across this site. It is very encouraging to know there are men and women out there that live the way Jesus wants us to live.

Maria Oloyede

I am 30 this year and a virgin. I gave my heart to God at a young age and the worth he put on me was his own life. I believe relationships should reflect that. To love someone truly is to place the highest worth possible upon their heart, life, every part of them…even their body. The best relationships reflect that. I want to be with someone and marry someone that loves me and is willing to give his everything. Not having sex in this day and age is a great way of showing someone they are worth way more than a physical relationship/experience. Most men i have met it has been a deal breaker. No sex no relationship. Its kind of a turn off when you are a virgin.

Veronica

I’m so happy found this web sit and cant wait till I get the book and my shirt lol. Its good to see women and men for all walks of life virgin and born again virgins to see we are worth the wait and be a support for one another .I am a 31yr women that’s been though a lot but is moving forward with my new found relationship with god and knows I am worth the wait.

Chivonne

I am worth the wait because, sex is something that you can get from anybody but you will never find someone that has the personality, mind, or strength as me.

Destyni Todman

Why I’m worth the wait? I am a 23 year old professional young woman, and college graduate. It’s interesting…I could think about sex in my mind but I never wanted to have sex for real. I was in some VERY compromising situations in high school and college, BUT by God’s grace, I never had sexual intercourse! It’s amazing, but I look back on those situations, and I realize that I didn’t even have sexual desires when I was with those guys. God was sho’ nuff protecting me, because if they had been really serious about it, and if I’d known what I was doing, things could’ve turned out very badly. I praise the LORD! I realize by God’s grace, the spiritual and emotional power of sex, the depth, and the beauty of it, and I want to open myself up only to ONE man, my husband, in God’s time. I will be sharing this with other young ladies! Praise God for you Dr. Warren!

Janelle Hunter

The first coherent tot that crosses my mind is that Gods grace is real. I was always so angry because i never got to make a choice as to whether i wanted to keep my virginity or not. I was taken from me when i was just 7yrs old. For years, i was devastated. In d initial years following d rape, i didnt understand y i always felt so strange and dirty buh as i grew older i came to realoze d importance of what i had lost and i became so angry. I had self esteem issues, weight problems, depression and all sorts. Buh as i was such a great actress, nobody knew i was dying inside. All through this, i knew God loved me and wanted d best for me buh i was so absorbed in my pains. In my final year in the university, i was 18 yrs and i got involved with a guy who treated me like a queen. He wasnt a Christian and we were having sex. After more than a year, i broke off d relationship and rededicated my life to Christ. It took a while buh i learned to let go off all d hurt and focus on Gods love. Now m 22yrs old and m a “virgin” again. This time i made up my mind to wait. God brought a man my way who knows my worth and knows m worth the wait. We r waiting together and its d most beautiful and doubtless one of the  hardest things ever. Buh its worth every minute of it.

I am a 26 year old virgin and never had a boyfriend before. I am that drew barrymore movie “never been kissed” I thought I was the only person in the world that never had a boyfriend or even been kissed until I have started reading the testimonies below. I realized that what I have is precious and that I can be an example to younger girls that its okay to be a virgin. I used to be ashamed to tell people but I have nothing to be ashamed of.

Houston, Tx

I’m 17 yrs old i live in Dallas, Texas. my mom told me to go on this website because she said that she feels this website will help me maintain my virginity and that there is other girls like me still out there holding on strong too! i feel like I’m worth the wait because while other girls or out there having sex with everybody I’m holding on strong! I feel like there aren’t many of us left so we got to fight to save the new youth that is growing up right now. i really try and hold on because i want to wait until I’m married with someone who loves me first not just anyone! so that’s why i feel like I’m worth the wait because i want to stand up for me and also others who haven’t lost their virginity!

Alexis Lajoi

On Sunday my mother called me to let me know she saw this book “I am worth waiting for” and she wants to purchase it for me.I know that I am worth the wait because my body is a temple.My body is sacred and I respect the temple given to me by God.I was told in High School by a guy that by the end of my senior year he was going to take my virginity from me..I wasn’t even in fear because I knew that God had covered me and kept me thus far and his words meant nothing.I CAN wait for the time when I will spend the rest of my life with the one who will KNOW MY WORTH!!!This is a GREAT website that I look forward to following and supporting.God Bless you all and you are truly doing an amazing thing!!

I graduated from high school without anyone “taking” my virginity and I am now a 22yrs.old female graduating as a senior of college in May who still knows how much I am worth and still proudly waiting..when you know your worth you don’t need to look forward in anyone else!
Know YOUR value in God!!

Tiffany from Maryland :)

I am a 21 year old student, who have decided to hold to my virginity until i am am married, because i believe that God has intended for us as young ladies to share our bodies with one man and young men to share their bodies also with one woman. I love the Lord with all my heart and with every fiber of my being i want to please the Lord and will not allow anything to come between my fellowship and friendship with him.i encourage young ladies and young men that waiting is the best thing that you could do. you are and i am WORTH THE WAIT!

Eddelia

I have to be focused. I spend much of my time in church, community activities and school. Yet with the busy schedule I realize that a relationship still may need room in this mix. I am a high school senior and I am 18 years old. Proudly proclaiming to be a VIRGIN. Yes! Ar times it can be hard and temptation comes but I know that I have a reputation to withhold. My mother tells me “in order to for someone else to respect me I have to respect myself”. I am respecting myself. I know that I am GOD’s Property. He created me in his likeness meaning that I am a precious temple. I AM Worth the Wait. I love my husband and I haven’t even met him yet. When the right one comes and we stand before God then we can share my temple but until then God Own’s this and I stand true to my promise. I AM WORTH the WAIT and when you (Mr.Right) comes along I hope that we can wait together. Keep me uplifted.

I was dating a guy recently for 3 wks.  He was moving to fast for me so I invited him to the 2/20 Gala and asked him if he would read the Best Sex… book with me.  He said he didn’t want to go because he didn’t need anyone telling him that I’m worth the wait because he knows my worth, but would read the book with me.  Well, long story short, the last time I spoke to him was on Thurs. evening.  Our last conversation spoke about having sex and I told him from the beginning that I was waiting for marriage and he was the first person in almost 7 yrs to touch or kiss me.  That wasn’t good enough, he wanted to go all the way, so I showed him and way and never called him again.  I thank God that I escaped this relationship with my purity, my dignity and my respect in tact.  I let go some of my boundaries, but I’ll know next time, this was just a test. It was hard to go back to being single after getting that much attention, but I should have waited on God to tell me he’s not the one instead of going ahead of God. I can’t wait to attend the Gala  and other events because I need to be around like-minded people. I’m worth the wait!

I am a 19 year old virgin, and I can truly say it is by the grace of God. He always intervened right on time, and His love, grace, mercy, and favor has been evident in my life before I even knew and served Him and has only increased since I have surrendered my heart to Him. I now know I am worth the wait and would love to start something at Salisbury University my current school, to help other young men and women know they are worth the wait simply because Christ things they are to die for and they are! :) Thank you for being an obedient servant and letting your light shine.

I used to be a young woman who initiated ALL the situations I was in. I planned and set them up. I was never forced or pushed. It was all me. After the last person I wish with, whom I lost my virginity to, I had it. God did not create me for this. I used to be the one among the teens that was gonna wait till marriage. The one that was gonna hold her kiss till the alter yet I kept giving a piece of myself away to any and every body without so much as at least a title to them, let alone commitment. Now at the age of 22, I can stand here and say I’ve dealt with multiple men, but have never had a boyfriend. But PRAISE JESUS for a God that forgives, forgets and restores. I’ve been firmly walking in my 2nd virginity since November 2008 and everyday I hold on to God and WAIT is a day I’m giving back to my husband! Ladies and Gents, God created us to be royalty, don’t act like peasants.  Remember, choosing to wait on God is not giving up; its realizing God’s timing, perfect will and purpose is better.  Look at it like this. God wants us to be able to get it in, ALL THE WAY in. Like a soda that is constantly shaking. Build up the anticipation so that at the point of “i do” it can pop with a BANG. But if you open it before its time, it looses all its fizz and in the end, your left with flat soda.  I’m WORTH THE WAIT because I deserve Fizzy Soda and so do you.

I gave away my purity because everyone at my college did and I had no idea how valuable I was. WTW has inspired me to take my purity as serious and my body a gift and not to be given to just anybody, but the person that’s worth having it and will treat me right and the only person that will do that is Jesus or my husband. but if a man truly loves me he will wait for me.

Alli

My husband and I were both virgins until our wedding night, and it was so beautiful to be able to share that experience with him.  It was hard… so hard to wait.  And I found myself in compromising situations at times.  But Jesus always provided a way out for me to rise up from the temptation.  I’m so grateful that we both made the decision to wait.

Michele, New Brunswick, NJ

Dr. Marsh,
I just got your book in the mail yesterday and I plan to finish it today. It’s so good I’m going to read it again. You really went IN, it truly brought about conviction and repentance. I was that virgin who liked to kiss and grinding was sort of like a temporary fix for me. I’ve come to the realization that I want to really please God with my sexual purity and be all that he is calling for me to be…I am worth the wait!

Ronnie Cain

I am so happy Dr. Marsh is getting married.  This is a true testimony that it pays to wait on God.  I just turned 27 and I have decided to continue to be sex free until The Lord sends me a hubby!
- Alicia Moore

I am a 16 years old young lady who have decided that I am worth the wait.
My testimony I’d like to share is that, God has blessed me with 5 beautiful sisters in which 4 are at least 10 years older than me. They are all saved and truly dedicate their lives to Jesus Christ and live how the bible says we should. They are the best role models i could have being a teenage girl and dealing with the pressure of the world. They’re beautiful, fun, all have graduated from college (masters and doctorates degrees) serve in our church (Seeds of Greatness Bible Church in Delaware),carry themselves like lady’s, and we always get complements by others. since they’re such good role model’s on me,I’ve learned i have to be a great role model on my sister who’s a year behind me. we are a blessed family and i thank God for both of my parents who do almost anything to make us happy.
i believe this is a testimony in itself.

Hi! I’m 27 years old and still a virgin BY GRACE!
God’s grace protected me in very strange ways. He “protected” me by having acne or feelings of inferiority.
When God decided, that I was strong enough to face the challenges of life, he took these burdens away.
Today, I know more that I’m beautiful and I can shine JESUS :)
And I believe in my value, that I’m worth the wait.
So I am a virgin by Grace.

Greetings in the most high God Jesus Christ..

I am 28 year old “kept-vessel” and born again christian from South Africa. It was definitely not by mistake for me to come across your website, but God directed me to it..(praise God)..

I’ve lived my whole life for God and I’m proud to tell u that I’m still a virgin at my age and I don’t regret my decision. God has kept me in the midst of it all..because he said so..we have been called to be different and we cannot live our lives like the world does!!!

I thank God for introducing me to your Network because it shows that I have a family of brothers and sisters who are sharing the same vision i have and what God called us to be. I would really love to be part of “I’m worth the wait” team and represent it down here in South Africa. Thank you woman of God for submitting to his word and selflessly helping others to realize their worth.

Please pass my greetings to the whole team and tell them that “TK” has come on board…amen.

It is by the grace and mercy of God that I am a virgin today. By this I mean, poor choices in past relationships undoubtedly led me into compromising/ “close call” situations. Nevertheless, I thank God for his love, forgiveness and restoration. Today, I stand a young woman confident and free from the emotional and physical bondage of poor choices, renewed and excited about the revelation that
” I AM WORTH THE WAIT”.

(10) My lover said to me, “Rise up, my beloved, my fair one, and come away. (11) For the winter is past, and the rain is over and gone. (12) The flowers are springing up, and the time of singing birds has come.
(13) The fig trees are budding, and the grapevines are in blossom. How delicious they smell! Yes, spring is here! Arise, my beloved, my fair one, and come away…”
According to Song of Solomon 2:10-13…I AM WORTH THE WAIT!

Worth the wait?  You bet, not kissing, hugging or holding hands with my wife and being able to focus solely on her beliefs, habits, and tendencies allowed me to know exactly what kind of person I would be spending the rest of my life with.  By basing my decision for marriage on the true individual that my wife is on the inside has allowed our marriage to flow in an awesome manner solely because we chose to do it God’ s way.  So without a doubt a companion sent from above is definitely
Worth The Wait.

Thomas, D.C.

God has commanded us to uphold a standard and I considered it an honor and attainable goal to wait until I was married to my husband to have sex. My husband and I reap the benefits of obedience. Because of our decision to wait, we honored one another by entering into our marriage baggage-free and with a pure heart. Those positive attributes in our marriage has aided in manifesting God’ s best blessings for our lives as one. It was worth the wait!

Angela P.

I am a 33 yr. single woman and I am a virgin! Glory to God for the ministry He is doing in your life and the fruit of love you express. I have a heart to see young and old alike empowered to handle their sexuality properly and wait until the climate is right (covenant marriage)!

Deborah, NJ

College grad, 22 years old, virgin…are a few words that you don’t hear to often in the same sentence.  Only through and by the grace of God am I able to say those words about myself.  That’s my testimony!! I realized that God is faithful to what He’s promised over every other area of my life, so I know I can depend on Him to be faithful in my life as I wait to be married.  I am worth the wait because honoring God with my abstinence is worth the reward that He has for me!

I believe and know for a fact that HOLINESS is real, a 36 year old female, my lifestyle was sex, but now to GOD TO BE ALL THE GLORY, HE has kept me, because I desire to be kept, now my ordained mate from the Lord has arrived, and we’re still waiting. It’s challenging, I won’t lie but I’m worth the wait and I know  he is too, YES, LORD.

Hanna

I have been in relationships where the girl wanted to have sex but I never could bring myself to do it. I finally realized that it is because I love God more than any woman. I have found it easier to be in relationships where my girl and I agree to live holy. Amos 3:3 says “Can two walk together except they be agreed?” so I only date girls that agree to save themselves. Plus, I’m doing them a favor any ways because no guy wants to marry a hoe. SO REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE WORTH THE WAIT ;~)

HERB (((D.C.)))

I am WORTH the wait… No sex in middle school, high school, college, and not before I’m married. Has it been easy?? Well, because I carried myself with respect, I only attracted boys that were “respectful.” I made Playas WANT to live right. Now, I look back at past relationships that I learned a lot from, am proud of, have no regrets, and can keep it moving! I MAKE it easy for myself by not entertaining guys who aren’t on my level. Young ladies, we are Queens!! We are worth the wait and KINGS will wait! SO…Stop wasting time with that bamma… your King is waiting for you ;)

~Rita, Washington DC

When I was a teenager, I thought of myself as a “good girl”. “Good” because I only had sex with one guy, where as so many teens around me had multiple partners. When I went to college and met Lindsay Marsh and got born again, I discovered that my “good girl” routine was a lie from the pit of hell. I embraced the Word of truth regarding sexual purity, seeing Lindsay as an example of a beautiful, smart, popular woman who practiced a lifestyle of abstinence and holiness before God. I became a “born-again virgin” and vowed to not have sex until marriage.

“ANONYMOUS”


Four years later I met a man of God who was also living a lifestyle of holiness. After seeking the Lord, we decided to pursue marriage, choosing to govern our relationship under strict guidelines. A year and a half later, during our weddding we had our first kiss. And our honeymoon was a beautiful thing!

Now I am living out God’s purpose for my life as successful family physician and teen minister at my church, New Light Christian Center Church. After 5 years of marriage, we just had a healthy, handsome son who is a testament to God’s faithfulness to His Word and His promises.

Why is it worth the wait? I slept with this guy, but decided after several times, that I was worth better than this and I loved God too much to keep having sex with him. So I cut it off, told him not to talk to me or even look my direction. Now, four years later, that same guy I found out was sleeping with a whole bunch of other girls (I knew), plus got my friend pregnant. That could have been me pregnant, but I made a decision to do it the right way. Why….because I’m worth the wait.

I’ m 21 and by the grace of God am still a virgin. One way to win this battle is by avoiding the setting(s) and activities that could potentially lead up to sex-period. Next is to changes our thoughts towards sex outside of marriage it does not bring glory to God and almost always leads to a road of destruction. I want all I do to glorify the King, so if that means waiting then I will because I know
I’ m worth the wait.

-Tricia-

“Growing up I watched as friends compromised their integrity and virginity. I watched as they suffered the consequences of their choices (i.e. STD’ s, unwanted pregnancies, failed relationships and unhealthy emotional ties). I made the decision a long time ago to keep my virginity until I’ m married. Looking back I thank God that I did not compromise in  my relationship with him. I’ m overwhelmed when I think about the joy I’ ll feel on my wedding day knowing that I loved my husband before I ever knew him, because I saved myself for him”.

-Lisa Manley, MSW, LGSW

When I was in high School, I decided to wait until I was 18 to have sex. I figured by then, I would be an adult and could make mature decisions. I had the guy AND the venue all picked out. But as I was scheming, God had some plans of His own. By the time I turned 18, I became a Born-Again Christian, Met Dr. Marsh, and decided that if she could wait, well then, BLESS GOD, SO COULD I! I am here to tell you that WAITING is not a life sentence. Do, I want to have Sex? FO’
SHIZZLE! On my wedding night, will it be da ABSOLUTE JUMP OFF? NO DIGGA NO DOUBT! But in the mean time, I’ m gonna to hold it down, STAY FLY, and REP GOD TO THE FULLEST!!! HOLLA!

Well when I was in high school, I began to engage in homosexual relationships. Although I was attracted to men, I was surrounded by people who engaged in that lifestyle on a regular basis. After awhile, I began to assimilate with my environment thus acting on my curiosity. This led to 7 years of me engaging on and off in the homosexual lifestyle….
In 2004, I rededicated my life to Christ, and became filled with the Holy Spirit. It was then, things began to change. I began to discover for the first time my purpose as a woman and developed a hunger and a thirst to please God more than my fleshly desires. By renewing my mind with the word of God, changing my environment, and walking in faith, the same-sex attraction disappeared and was replaced with natural desires.  Today I can say that I am excited about the possibility of being married and having a family, which is not a dream that seems far fetched. I know that I will receive God’ s best as it relates to my husband and I am excited about that. On the other hand, I will never compromise my holiness and purity while waiting for the manifestation.

Worth the wait??? Fo sure…. 28 year old male with no kids, real estate investor, entreprenegro, good 9 to 5, basically doing pretty good as a single. (To God be the glory) Played sports throughout middle school, high school and college. Growing up in the “Nation’s Capital.” The pressures and the opportunities to have sex have been around for sometime. Once the seed was planted and the decision to abstain from having sex was made, it seemed as if the pressures and the opportunities increased 100 fold. I used to think to myself, where were all these girls prior to making the decision to abstain. I realized it was just the “enemy” trying to steal the seed planted in me. As I began to grow in the “Word” and gain understanding on the importance of abstaining from sex until marriage and the role your environment plays in living Holy, I found myself not hanging around the same group of friends whom didn’t share my same views on abstaining from sex. “Hang around those who have your answers and not those who have your problems.” A quote that hit home for me. As I hung around those set on abstaining, the challenges and pressures have greatly diminished. Life is far better when you are in God’s will. Definitely worth the wait………

It is refreshing to see a young lady with high moral standards for sexual purity, has a personal relationship with Christ and is successful in a career of service as a physician.  Girl, you are so blessed.  May God continue to bless your ministry.  I am a college student seeking to remain pure and you’re ministry is heart warming and gives me even more encouragement NOT to conform to the ways of the world.  I am going to let other know about your work and pray only for the best for you.  My DC Church family will be in attendance at your Worth the Wait Party.  Keep on being blessed.

“I’ m thankful for your website and I support you 1000%!!! I used to be the #1 spokesperson in my church and community about being a virgin at
21 years old. Everyone knew that I was. I was very proud of it. My church family and friends ranted and raved about it and were very proud as well. I made the decision at a young age without any real authority telling me I had to that I was going to wait because I knew I was worth it, but one day, I let my guards down. I got out of the will of God and I fell. I got myself caught up in a situation that only led to sin. I was in the wrong state of mind and instead of getting away from the relationship the moment it started, I got out of the will of God and I played in the enemy’ s camp. I dismissed God, as He was warning and talking, I was ignoring. I didn’ t think about the consequences. I didn’ t think about how I was about to lose my greatest testimony or how it would affect those that I had ministered to and told to wait. I was selfish, but now I have to forgive myself and tell of a new testimony. God has forgiven me, but I’ m still working on forgiving myself. I did it once and I vowed that I will never do it again until marriage…IT’ S NOT WORTH IT!!! I not only lost my virginity, I lost so much more, and even lost him shortly after although he was never mine
to begin with. I’ ve learned so much about myself since this happened, and also learning to love myself more than my desire to be loveda book is coming soon. I am now back on the right road of saving myself for my husband and although I let someone else enter into his camp, I know that he will forgive me and love me because I respected myself and him enough to place it on lock, bolts and all J and allow no more invaders. I am worth it because God said that I am created in His image and I will represent that. I desire to be kept and although temptations come, I am girded up in the truth of His Word that only what I do for Christ wil l last.”

Abigail, 22, Woodbridge, VA

I thank God because it is only by HIS grace that I am still a virgin today. I have had friends and others in the world tell me that “It’s just because you have not found the right person….it’s impossible to remain a virgin until your married…” Well, God is proving them wrong through ME!!!! I AM WORTH THE WAIT and WILL WAIT. I have had some weary moments and have acknowledge had “close calls” , but God is more than able! I trust in Him without leaning to my own understanding and make sure to acknowledge Him in all my ways and He has definitely been directing my paths. Just coming to George Wasington Univ. was definitely an act of God! He set me up around WORD UP! Bible Study, SOFCC, Min. Lindsay, and tons of other people that are Representing Him to the fullest. What a “holy hook-up” …as Min. Lindsay would say!!!!

I thank God for you Min. Lindsay and Worth the Wait! You have been such an outstanding blessing to me. Your such an encouragement to me and I just love you!!!!! I honestly cannot think of how to explain what you have deposited into my life since I came to college. I have gained so much knowledge from your ministry and I know that God will honor you for your sacrifice, love, and obedience. I know that WORTH THE WAIT is going PLACES….I mean…BLOWING UP!!!

I am excited to be WORTH THE WAIT and I DEFINITELY look forward to the day I will meet the husband that God prepared for me. Until then, I know my worth and I will continue to help others realize that they too are WORTH THE WAIT!!

“Worth the Wait? NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! I am in too deep in fulfilling the purpose that God has for my life to even entertain the thought of not waiting. I understand that wrapped up in the assignment that God has given me is the Mighty Man of Valor (MMV) I am believing God for. At the appointed time (when I am married), I will have “The Best Sex of My Life”.
Until that time, “Clink, Clink”, I’m on lock down and loving it. No ties, no lies and no alibies.”

Beverly, Washington, D.C.

There is something powerful when a covenant is cut between two people, but especially between a man and a woman. The woman sheds blood on the man similar to the blood that was shed when God came down and cut a covenant with his man Abraham. From the moment that covenant was established it meant that what God has belongs to Abraham and what Abraham has belongs to God. They are tied to each other in every aspect of life. God intended for sex between a man and a woman to do the same thing?to unite them, combine their physical and spiritual resources and make them 10x stronger as a spiritual force to takeover this world! However, that?s not what we see around us everyday. But it is that knowledge that has kept me and inspired me to maintain my virginity and remain pure even at 24 years of age.

Kristina

I greet you in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. I give honor to God who is the head of my life. I am a firm believer in abstinence until marriage. I am choosing to remain a virgin until God almighty shall bless me with the queen of my life, and we can share our whole selves with each other, in God-ordained purity and love. I charge those who look upon these words to never give up, and to hold on until your queen or king shall be give to you, it is very well possible, “For with God, nothing shall be impossible”
Luke 1:37 My beautiful sisters in Christ, I urge you to wait for your King HE’S WORTH IT!! Brothers be strong hold out for the QUEEN SHE’S WORTH IT!! Let He who created every inch of your body, Guide your actions with it. Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I lost my virginity because I gave into the pressure from a woman.
Because of this, I learned that the only way to protect myself continually is to make up my own mind continually. Because of this daily decision, daily I know that I am worth the wait!

Justin

18 years old, male, 6’2″, and a VIRGIN, Bless God. The Lord has been my keeper and his word has been my greatest motivation to abstinence. The temptaions always have come and will continue to, but every day I have to live with the mind set that as a soldier for Christ I am always at war and being attacked by satan and I cannot allow him to steal my prize. I destined in my mind to wait for my wife  so that I do not lose the best that God has for me just for some quick decietful pleasure. Don’t be fooled we are always fighting and sex out of marriage is just another trick that leads to hell. Remember, though, Romans 8:37 “…We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.”

“God bless you in your endeavor to spread the message of sexual purity. I love the concept, its precepts and the direction in which you seem to be moving. My prayer for you is that your ministry will be blessed both spiritually and financially, and that every man, woman, boy and girl who hears your message will be moved to conviction and find strength and support. We live in a super-sex-saturated society and it times for Christians to take a stand against the enemy.
Continue to fight the good fight my sister!!!”

I just wanted to send my congrats to you for the wonderful job you did on your fashion show. You are truly an inspiration in my life. You encourage me and my boyfriend to live right no matter what other people are doing, and we are waiting until marriage. The fashion show was excellent, and the clothes are great…. I was really suprised at how the formal gown was put together, I would actually were that…I don’t mind being different to make an “IMPORTANT”
statement…..Well…. You are a wonderful role model in the lives of many, many teens, even adults, and you have definitly been a role model in mine. Futhermore, I just want to say that I really believe that, the Worth The Wait Revolution is more than just a title, but an actual revolution, that will impact many people’s lives, young and
old, beyond the stretches of your imagination.

“Min. Lindsay, I really enjoyed the Launch Party for your clothing line. Your testimony encouraged me to remain a virgin and I experienced the same thing you experienced when you were 16. I see you as my inspiration and role model. I have a summer job and I am sowing my two weeks pay into your clothing line because I see it as being good ground. Thank you for showing me that it is possible to remain a virgin until I’m married because I know, I AM WORTH THE WAIT!”

This seems to be a good group of people on the move and I admire that the most about what I have seen on this website. I am 23 and no I didnt wait until I was married to initially have sex but I am waiting now that I have establish a relationship with God. I am looking forward to being apart of your up and coming events.

L.M., Maryland

Well my testimony is a little different. I am a 26 yr old, single mother
of two kids. Like most women out here I see– I had everything
“together” in all areas of my life except when it came to dealing with men.
I didnt know the Lord or have anyone to teach me about sexual purity. With
time came maturiy, but I still was living like the world when it came to sex and dating. In the
process I had both my children. Now I am more mature in Lord, and after experiencing all the drama, heartbreak, health issues, & premartial pregancies that come with having sex before
marriage-I am now celibate and thankful for God’s grace and mercy. I
don’t regret my children but I regret the manner in which they were
conceived. They both have to deal w/being shuffled between two
households and are missing out on the joys of having two parents who love
and honor the Lord under one roof who were willed together by God.

So to all my “re-virgins” – I say God’s grace is sufficient- dont let
anyone make you feel bad for your past, even if you have constant reminders of it. Watch
what you take into your spirit (i.e TV, music, books) because that can be
the first step to a fall. Dont play with the devil (spending the night,
fondling, kissing, laying on the couch, etc. leads to sex!!) Most
importantly, hold out and dont settle. God will is the best thing for you.

We are worth the wait!!

I am a 26 year old who has only had sex once, about three years ago.
The question that I always get asked when I share that with the youth at my church is: Why did you do it when you were 23, after you had been holding out for so long? Answer: Because I did not feel that I WAS WORTH THE WAIT anymore. This allowed me to fall for the traps of the enemy. For all of 20 minutes, I broke my convenant with God because my mind was not focused on the fact that God had better for me and that I am WORTH THE WAIT. If there was something that I could tell the young ladies and young men that visit your site I would tell them:
Watch out for the things that you entertain like music, T.V..
friendships, and finally dating. Don’t play in the devil’s playground!
For the devil is playing for keeps and he wants you. Know that you are called and destined for the greatness of God and that no matter of the past YOU ARE WORTH THE WAIT!!!!!

To all my fellow soldiers in this fight that have fallen: Know that God can restore you to be a virgin again in every sense of the word, just as he has done for me. I believe that when God sends my Isaac, it will be WORTH THE WAIT for the both us and that we will be a great testimony about the grace and mercy of God. He can restore all that has been broken.

For much of my teen years, my virginity was probably maintained simply ’cause I couldn’t find a girlfriend’ But thankfully, I’ve become strongly convicted after learning about the Messiah. Sure, it’s hard to maintain your virginity (mine is still being held onto TIGHT!) but we know the reward God has in store for those who try their hardest to obey Him. Missing out on sex for a few years is NOTHING compared to missing out on an eternity with God! 18 years old, and still looking for the wifey who ‘deflowers’ me. I’m worth the wait ’cause GOD LOVES ME!!

My testimony is rough. I was sexually harassed when I was 11 and I always thought that I would never have sex.  I was afraid of it. Then I was reading about sex in the bible and I saw that it was a good thing.   I also saw that you should wait 2 have sex until u were married.  I live in an environment where people make it seem like sex is everything, especially in songs. Songs r what people my age (13), really pay attention to.  We think that if it’s in a song, it’s the right thing 2 do. But, that’s not true. However, when someone like Lyfe comes along, (he’s a singer), and makes a song called S.E.X., that is telling u that u need 2 wait, they won’t listen 2 that.  The radio stations won’t play it as often.  However, I live in a home that does not condone premarital sex, and that is all that I go by.   I know so many kids that look up 2 me and follow me, that I can’t  imagine  myself  telling  them  not  2 have  premarital sex, and then do it (myself).  I am one to practice what I preach. Another thing, I look up to so many people… you being one of them.  I couldn’t let them down, if I tried. This is why I want 2 model for you so I can be an influence on children my age. Kids for some reason only listen to television, radio and other kids. I love you and I thank you for allowing me the opportunity and the chance to model for you.

“I just wanted to tell you that your launch party was amazing. I don’t know if you remember me but I was the girl that came to the front crying with a “I Am Worth The Wait” shirt on, that you hugged twice.
Your program really touched me and helped me to see things that I didn’t realize were going on with me. Two members of my church and two of my friends came to the launch party with me and were touched also.
I wanted to thank you…”

” I know by personal experience how tempting having sex is. I’ve had soooooo many close calls and opportunites to lose the fight against my flesh, and the flesh is a very TOUGH competitor….but by relying on GOD’s word and the teachings of my pastors and parents, my flesh can’t handle me…I’m not only fighting the battle for myself, to keep this G.Q. temple straight, but I’m also fighting for the love of my life….I AM WORTH THE WAIT.” Andrew H., 20

Hello, Dr. Lindsay, my name Nicole and I praise God for you and the vision He has given you! First of all let me tell you I went to the fashion show and I must testify it was a life changing experience. I brought with me 7 young ladies from my church. They were all moved by this experience and vowed to stay under God’s covenant. One being a 15yr lesbian, came up to the front to give her life!!!!! God is great!
So, thank you for being obedient to the Spirit of God!

While in college at the age of 21 I conceived my daughter who is now 10 y.o.  I don’t regret having her but I do regret the circumstance & situation in which she was conceived.  I have not only short changed her but I have also short changed myself because I didn’t proceed in indulging in the Father’s way.  Ladies & fellas be strong & deny your flesh.  For in your flesh dwells no good thing.  I’m praising God now for the trials & tribulations that accompany being a single parent, but at one point in my life I was literally in a state of depression.   Please hear my heart on this: life is choice driven, we all live & die by the choices that we make.  For God has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light!
