Bristol Palin: "Advocate for Teenagers"

As I watched Bristol Palin's interview with Greta Van Susteren on FOX News, I wanted to cry. She kept saying, "I wish I would have waited ten years." It's really hard to wake up everyday and wonder what your life would have been like had you not caved into the peer pressure, the sexual temptations.

Her teenage days are over as she once knew them. No more dances, outings with her friends, or even texting without thinking about about the responsibility and interruptions of the new baby. Bristol said, "abstinence is the right thing to do, but nobody can do it." I disagree, yes they can! I know many girls who have succeeded even though it is tough and unpopular.

Do you think you would feel different about waiting until marriage to have sex if everybody was waiting also? If having sex outside of marriage was not cool and girls that weren't having sex were the coolest, I think the attitude would change.

Girls, we are living in friendly captivity and don't even feel the chains. We've conformed so nicely to our sexual culture that we've forgotten who we are.

One of my favorite books in the Bible is Daniel. The Israelites had been taken in captivity into Babylon. They all conformed beautifully within the extravagant sex-driven culture except for four friends: Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These boys weren't going to be swayed from their God. They had resolved (made up their minds) that they would not defile themselves. No fiery furnace or lion's den would keep them from God. They would not bow down to the sinful culture they were living in. But guess what? They got to see the hand of God move over their lives! Miracles and encounters with God that were priceless!

Girls, it is possible to stay pure until marriage, but you have to resolve (make up your mind) to do so now so that you will not defile yourself. Find some good friends with the same heart, keep each other accountable, and watch the hand of God move over you.

I really believe that Bristol knows that abstinence is possible; it's just not popular...YET!

I believe she will become a huge advocate; helping teen-age girls to stay sex free until marriage.
