Here Goes Nothin'

I wish I had some clever and formal introduction to start this first blog post off with flying colors, but after racking my brain for twenty minutes on how I can connivingly suck you into a treacherous addiction to my blog, I realized I have nothing to say that will adequately do that job. So let me just say this:

My name is Cassie and I plan on getting real with y'all. Real as in raw, vulnerable, and exposed.

I want to get real about the topic of purity- protecting and saving our hearts, minds, and bodies for Jesus. Purity, to me, is not simply just dodging "sexual sins" and defilement. Purity is a way of life. This blog is not meant for the faint of heart. This blog is not suited for a religious and cautious person searching for hymns and rosary's to be the solution to a seemingly impossible battle for radical purity. Things are going to get PG-13. I'm going to use words like SEX, masturbation, orgasm, porn, oral sex, lust, and more. I'm going to get real because I believe that getting real is the first step in addressing our generation's lack of purity.

I am making a vow with you all- every single one of my reader's. It might be a crazy vow considering that whatever I put on the internet is permanent and visible to anyone in the world whom may come across this blog; but I am going to make a vow to all of you that I will always be completely honest and vulnerable about every single one of my struggles and victories in my walk in purity. It will be embarrassing at times. I will have to neglect my desire to hide my struggles and sins. But I'm doing this because I believe with every fiber in my being that it will be worth it. My temporary loss of secrecy or pride will be worth it in the long run if I can help any other girl out there who is struggling with the same issues.

Girls, you are not alone. Let's say yes to a lifestyle of purity together! 

As I receive vision and revelation from the Lord on how to overcome some of these battles, I will share  them with you with celebration! And as I slip-up and misplace my foot in this walk of purity, I will confess my errors to you with sadness that I have hurt the Lord in my sinning, but with gladness in the fact that His goodness and mercy and grace are limitless and abounding! I will tell stories. I will share insight. I will ask questions. I will make jokes! I will be a girl and talk about not only issues regarding our physical purity but also on how to guard our hearts. (I know- the term "guard your heart" makes you wanna puke and say, "blah, blah, blah", right? Me too. I think that's because no one knows exactly how that's done. But that's why I'm creating this blog! To discuss it openly and freely with each other!)

So ready or not, here I go. Zero readers or one-hundred, I am in! Stay tuned. Get cozy. Grab a tub of ice cream, a bag of popcorn, and maybe a journal and pen; because I've got plenty of gooey and raw stories to tell, lessons to learn, and wisdom to share. Call me purely insane, but I've got an undying passion and itch for a lifestyle of insane purity!
