Hey!
I recently made the vow of purity and would like to share it with you girls! ; )
What is it?
It's a promise to God, to your dad (he is supposed to help you guard your purity) and to yourself that you will remain a virgin and wait for the one God chose for you. It's also a way to say that Jesus is the n°1 man in your life! It's not a must but getting your Dad's benediction is better for the simple reason that God tells you to honor your parents... ; )
Who is it for?
It doesn't matter if you 12, 18 or 25, as long as your promise is serious matured and you are willing to certify that your body is the temple of God, it's for anyone! :D
What is the ring for?
Well...it's just a simple visual reminder of your vow! ^^
So...anyway, any ring can stand for a purity ring! Doesn't matter if "true love waits" or a heart/cross is on it or not , it's your ring, your choice!
Mine is a very simple silver ring with an engraving inside: "I'm worth waiting for Ps.25.11" PS 25.11 was originally a mistake but suited perfectly my state of mind : "for the Honor of Your name O lord, forgive my many many sins." So, it's basically a one of a kind ring...but a lot of people do believe i'm married or comitted! (yes, you wear it on the wedding ring finger!) ; )
My purity ring! :
So, any of you have a purity ring on? How did you girls find it? What lead you to this decision?

Comment by Evangeline Colarossi on October 18, 2012 at 4:19pm I dont have a purity RING yet but when my older sister got hers for Christmas one year (hers was silver and an unopened rose) my parents gave me a purity LOCKET since i was 8-9urs odl at the time :) i still odnt have a purity ring, and i dont kno whwen i will get one, but my mom and dad gave me the locket saying it was a symbol to gaurd my heart from evil. I have to say i dont really kno whwat that means :\But my mom told me the other day (when i first wore the locket in YEARS since i finally found a strong enough chain) she said "you better check your heart" cause i was being really grumpy and not very Godgirl like :( i realize im not doing a very good job gaurding my heart from evil :(
Comment by Kathleen Adams on July 31, 2012 at 5:54am I am remaining pure till marriage and shall ask my dad to buy me a purity ring for my birthday though I think this will be a novelty to him as he thinks I won't make it and that It really doesn't matter anyway. I couldn't disagree more and want to get one as a sign to everyone my promise to God as well as to my dad to show him my commitment to God (sadly he doesn't have any to much faith) and eventually to prove to him that I did uphold my promise.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful ring with us,
Your sister in Christ <3

Comment by Lisi on July 24, 2012 at 5:30pm My dad wanted to take me out to dinner and give one to me after we watched the movie Courageous. My mom has this pretty ring she said my dad could present to me so now I have one!

Comment by Paige Addison on July 22, 2012 at 5:52pm I am fourteen, and I received my purity ring for my 14th birthday. It is beautiful! It is silver with an open heart in the middle, with my grandma's diamond on the inner corner of the heart. It is beautiful! My 17 year old sister lost hers, and I haven't lost mind!
Comment by Roxanne on July 22, 2012 at 5:37pm :D Yes! I have been looking and WILL be getting one! Or, my Grams will be getting me one. She is SO excited about it! Said I could spend up to $50 on one which was a big :O to me!
Comment by Marie-Sophie B. on July 22, 2012 at 8:38am @Hayle.G Zachry : Great! I'm so happy for you ! : ) Ok, thanks...Well for christian stores, i wasn't sure, France is a little bit particular, it's the n°1 atheist contry in the world :/
@Melissa Jones <3 : Thank you ^^ ...You guys have true love waits classes in America? :O Does it work well? Do you have a pic? :3
@Roxanne: I really encourage you in your decision, Go for it!!! Being pure is not something that you should kinda hide , it's has a great value, a tresor that most of the girls of our world don't have for the simple reason that you can't buy it ! ; ) Have you started looking for one yet?
Comment by Roxanne on July 21, 2012 at 11:03pm You know what...I think I want one! Like, SINCERELY want one. Up until now, I have always thought purity rings were cool but I always thought I didn't NEED one to remind myself to remain pure. I still believe that but I would like to proclaim it to the world. I want to take a step further into remaining pure I guess...
Love the ring! ♥
