Introduction

Welcome to my blog. This will be a bit of a new experience. I am on a journey and I want to document what's going on in my mind, and what God is doing in my heart. This journey is a search for purity. I am going through a few books on purity and will be reflecting on the content as well as reflecting on my life.

I'll give you a, hopefully quick, intro of my back story.

So here goes...
My name is Amber. I am a christian and have grown up in church my whole life. For as long as I can remember (maybe starting at age 4-5) I entertained sexual fantasies in my mind. I wanted sex and thought about it a lot. When I was about 17 or 18 I started viewing porn online. When I was 20, I started going to a christian school that prohibited pornography usage, so I stopped. I am 23 and still in that school. In the past few years, I have struggled off and on with lustful fantasies and on occasion have viewed porn. After all of this time, I have decided that I want to fight for purity in my life.

As you follow along in my journey you will discover more of the story.

I have titled this blog "Washed Whiter Than Snow" because Jesus died on the cross to forgive every sin. God's forgiveness is perfect. God intends to restore everyone, including me. God sets me free from my past.

As I stated, I am a christian. I don't know what being a christian means to you, but to me it means that God is my reason for living. I will mention God a lot and will be including prayers as part of the blog.

Prayer:
God I thank you for what you are doing. Thank you for your forgiveness, for your freedom. Give me the strength to pursue only the best for my life. Bless this journey and bless this blog. I pray that your presence will be in every word that I type. I pray that as you set me free, you will set others free through this blog. I pray that I will grow closer to truth. Amen.
