I remember hearing at freshman orientation that “most students change their major at least once during their college career.” And I thought to myself “Yeah, right. That’ll never be me.”

What will people say… when they hear that I had an eating disorder and sometimes still struggle?
In reality, I’m sure that no one is surprised that I’m not perfect. But in my flesh, I desire to be thought of highly.

What will people say… when they find out I’m still a virgin?
"Are you really going to stick to your whole purity ring thing? Like, you know, wait until you’re married to have sex?" I was shocked. I couldn’t believe my friends would even consider asking me such a question. They knew my conviction on this subject. I was pretty open about it. I thought it would be normal in my circle of influence to wait until marriage to have sex with my husband. I thought that was a common conviction of women in the church. I thought all girls were being taught the same message about sex that I was taught at an Across My Heart retreat almost eight years ago. So why was it such a surprise to my friends that I was going to wait?
What will people say… when they hear I am pregnant with a child I don’t want?

What will people say… when you quit your job to pursue ministry?
