The Prince and Me......

So tonight I went and saw The Prince and Me with my friend Rose and a group of high school freshmen that she leads a Bible study with. What a great movie!! Ok, so it was a chick-flick but I happened to love it! The ending was slightly different but I thought it was good because it emphasized following your dreams/aspirations/goals and that you (girls) are good enough to be chased after by that special someone. I so agree!! I have so many things I wanna do someday and this movie reminded me that I can do those things and still have 'someone'....that I can share those things with him. This movie also reawakened that intense desire for a boyfriend, not that it completely went away but I've been ok and content with being single for awhile now. So needless to say, I loved the movie and will probably buy it.

Before we went to see the movie, we had, what Rose called, an 'open-ended discussion' on BOYS with the high school girls. It was actually really neat. We had the girls write down one question, any question, about boys, dating, whatever that they wanted answered. So we went through things like "what's too far?", "when's a good time to start dating?", "is kissing wrong" (insert Jen's NO!---sorry, side bar), "where in the Bible does it say that messing around is too far and that sex before marriage is wrong?", etc. I was amused that three girls with little dating experience were the panel, but I guess that's good cause here we were talking about purity and saving yourself in all areas of dating so I guess the fact that we hadn't 'gotten around', if you will, was a good thing. It's so important for these girls to here these things and be encouraged to save themselves for their future spouse, and not just in having sex but so many other things. I really hope that these girls keep their stands to stay pure and set the bar high when it comes to their standards and lines within a relationship cause a guy worth dating is a guy who not only respects that but has drawn the same lines.
