This year I decided that we should do two girls night lock in's...one for the JR High girls and one for the High School Girls. Last weekend was our High School Girls Lock In- "PURE Chic'" I wanted the girls to come & enjoy a night of just being a girl!!! The night was jam packed with fun events... they could come get their hair, makeup & nails done, enjoy a fashion show put on by their peers with "PURE Chic'" fashion trends, play on DDR (Dance Dance Revolution), rock out to Guitar Hero & Rock band, and watch girly movies, such as "Enchanted" and "Ever After"...but my main purpose and vision for the night was for the girls to find out why God calls us to be Pure. I did a purity night back at College Church for my JR High girls and it was an amazing time so I really wanted to get the chance for my new girls to experience that as well. God totally blessed our "Purity talk". We had a panel of amazing women and the girls could ask ANYTHING they wanted on the subject. The girls wrote their questions on pieces of paper and were all handed in in a basket so that no one knew who asked what... I of course sorted through the questions and also made sure things were talked about like...What is purity? What does the BIBLE say about sex before marriage...Why wait?....Am I a virgin if I was abused sexually? What do I do if my boyfriend pressures me? The girls asked some amazing questions and it was a great time...later we broke up the girls in small groups with each a leader from the panel where they were able to discuss in their groups what had been talked about. I then had one of our teens sing an amazing song called..."Legacy" then I challenged the girls to decide if they wanted to leave a Legacy and live a pure life and decide to wait to have sex when they get married. It was amazing to see the response from the girls, for those who decided to take the vow of purity they were given the option to fill out a contract and post it by the cross. I was sooo proud of the girls and pray that with God's help they can live a pure and holy life.
