I am 25 years old and have a beautiful 6-year-old daughter. I have lived in Kingman almost my whole life, except for a brief adventure in Las Vegas. At the beginning of this year, I got baptized by Amy Oberg and gave my life to Christ. By the grace of God, I recently got engaged to Jonathan Geesey. You may have seen me working with some of the kids through the Children's Ministry. Additionally, I have been blessed with becoming the Kingman Women's Blog Content Curator. I work at Valentine Elementary School in Truxton, Az as a Special Education Interventionist for K-8th grade. Through working at this school, I have realized the plan God has for me is to teach children. I am currently pursuing my bachelor's in elementary education so that I can fulfill that plan.

How Far Into Your House Have You Accepted Jesus?

How Far Into Your House Have You Accepted Jesus?

Last month I had the opportunity to attend RefresHer 2022 with Ignite Life and a whole bunch of our Kingman Women. The amazing team that put this outreach together truly amazed me and gave me so many new tools for BeComIng who God wants me to be. While there was such wisdom given by the speakers, Robin Smith definitely spoke to me the most. She discussed what it means not just to live pure in your sex life, but also in every other part of your life. She related the other parts of our lives to different rooms of our house. The entryway was letting Jesus be your Lord and savior. By letting Jesus past the entryway and into the other rooms of your house, you can be fully transformed by His loving Grace. 

As many of you know, I have a unique testimony when it comes to coming to Christ as well as getting to marry my husband. I had dated my husband both within and without having a pure sex life. Pure sex life is the biblical model of waiting until marriage. But that’s not the only area that Jesus wants us to live purely. After being married now for almost 6 months, I can tell you that it is extremely rewarding and difficult at the same time. It’s definitely one of the most challenging adventures I’ve taken on. Just before I attended the RefresHer, Jon and I had hit a particularly messy part of our marriage. We were arguing almost every night, we weren’t loving each other as Christ loves us, and we just weren’t being the Godly parents we wanted to be. After the RefresHer, I went out on a date with my husband. We sat down and I confessed all the things that I felt I wasn’t walking out in purity. 

As a result, Purity has taken on a completely different definition for myself and my household. Purity means making sure you are reading/watching and listening to things that honor God, bring you closer to Him, and don’t hurt your relationship with Him. It means that you have an appetite for what God feeds you, not what the world tries to feed you. Robin asked us, “Does your day start with Jesus? Do you allow Him to sit with you and just hang out?” That’s what He really wants, after all. He wants to know us in such an intimate way. What about the gifts that God has given you? Are you using them to further the kingdom of God or are you keeping them tucked away? In all the areas of your life, I would urge you to ask this question: Is Jesus comfortable where I am taking Him? If the answer is no, then maybe we shouldn’t do that.
