In my interactions with single moms, specifically the never married ones, I have found an interesting yet sad paradigm on how they view themselves, and how other men do. I’m not sure why, probably its how our culture has allowed us to view them, but there is a great need for us to maybe take a second look at this woman. See, when a woman ends up pregnant, because she really thought this was going somewhere, or because yes they had sex, or they were reckless, or young and foolish, or whatever, her life is never the same! Now, the typical Kenyan scenario that unfolds is not pretty, I’ve seen it countless times, and it looks something like this. 1. She panics; and then all kind of thoughts run through her mind. Then she decides to; 2. Tell her man: and that leads to dilemma number 1 where Mr. Prospective daddy; either accepts the responsibility and they end up together with his support (Yay!) or he; 3. Blames her: for being reckless, or wanting to trap him, or denies responsibility,

We are wired for sex. This is true of how we are made, and how we live. Think of it, our identity is tied in our sexuality, male or female. It all starts at birth, and by the time we hit teenage, our hormones are raging and sexual feelings soaring. Then you meet someone new, you like them, they like you, the chemistry is unreal, you can’t eat, think, or sleep without them in your mind. When you get together… is like there is enough electricity between you two to put Kenya Power out of a job (Which actually may be a good thing seeing they can’t keep our lights on for a straight 24 hours)! You realize you love them and they love you, and you have what John Hagee calls an ‘overwhelming urge to merge’! If everything is in place, you have love and understanding, then you can go ahead and consummate your passions, right? Weeeell, let’s just say, that’s the easy way out. Or at least so it seems. Scripture commands us not to do it yet. At least not until our wedding night. The Big question
