I wonder why no one talks to young adults about sexuality in our culture. (You know what culture I'm referring to, out Kenyan culture).
The parents always assume since they have paid school fees, the teachers/guidance and counselling teachers will handle that, but they don't.
The teachers think it is a parent's responsibility totally.
The children hope that at least in church, the one place truth and hope are in abundance, there is a chance of finding this out the right way, but as we all know church does not give it to us the right way.
For a young lady like me, who grew up in a Chrisitian home, it took me 27 years to actually know what God says about sexuality and I discovered my sexuality, through this realization.
It was in this same realization that I learnt that a man who loves God, has learnt from the best teacher how to love.
I have dated a few "save-deez" and all I ever learnt was how NOT to be treated, because for some even holding hands was a problem. There was one who told me he couldn't kiss me in public, and the reason he gave me was' "I care about your reputation Emm". It's a goodbye kiss for Christ's sake!!!
So if I was told to weigh a man's heart first, to know his stand in Christ, instead of the vague "What fellowship has light with darkness, you cannot date a non-believer", that would have saved me a lot of heartache, and a lot of INVESTED TIME.
What if you are a Chrisitian lady and you fall in love with a man who is honest, genuine, not a "holy-joe-church-going-showoff" but one who is just true, to God, himself and all that is around him???
What if you are a Chrisitian lady and all your friends root for that man who serves in the church, who leads Praise and Worship every Sunday, but does not respect you enough to even hear what you have to say, and does not even give you emotional support???
Will you be woman enough to stand your ground proudly, or let real love pass you by, just so that you don't hurt your family's feelings?
Valentinte's Day is around the corner, this time if you have never ever before, celebrate REAL love, celebrate the people who are TRUE to you, who actually love YOU FOR YOU.
The same way you never doubt God's love for you, or your mother's and/or father's love for you, is the same way you should be sure of the love you share with your partner.
Here's to True Love! Salute`!
