For my new young friend.

Enjoy your time in school with lots of time for friends, study and growing in Christ. Romance, and all that goes with it can come later if you are called to it.

Now, I married my high school sweetie, but it wasn’t easy at 16, 17, 18, 19 to have a romatic relationship that was exclusive while honoring the chastity and purity aspects of our lives that we were called to as single people.

I give all of the young people in my life this book by Josh Harris. It’s the guide I wish I had had in high school.
