I did a thing

I did a thing:

Meet your new ambassador for All things Boudoir.

Well ya girl just became an ambassador for All Things Boudoir !! (this photo is from another shoot I did 2 years ago)  I’m really excited about this new opportunity. It's one of those things that I saw on Facebook and I didn’t really think I would win but I did. When I submitted for the ambassadorship, the questionnaire asked why I wanted to do this. I wrote that I wanted to show that Christian women can be sexy. That we are allowed to have sexuality. As I wrote those words, I realized that I do want to show Christian women that we can be sexy. I realized that this topic is something that is near and dear to me. Not exactly sure why to be honest but it is. Its honestly becoming a larger passion of mine. 

I’ve always be intrigued by the concept of sex and Christianity. I remember being in teen class and wanting to have a larger conversation on the topic. So I went to the leaders and asked to have the conversation. But the request fell on deaf ears. After that moment, I decided to learn more about sex on my own. So I did. I read articles. I watched documentaries and HBO. My journey on learning about sex was purely secular. What I learned was that sex was supposed to be passionate. It was supposed to be between people who should have a shared interest in each other or at least the act that was to follow. 

The most interesting thing was that sex was supposed to be enjoyed by men and only tolerated by women. Women who desired sex were lewd and should be shamed into silence. Overt sexaulity was something that should not be exuded from a woman. Women who talked openly about ‘it’ were to be avoided. But why? Why, if I had questions, did I have to search the internet, documentaries, and HBO? Didn’t God create sex? Isn’t everything that God created good? Why should I be ashamed to have questions (that mostly went unanswered) I decided that doing this partnership with All Things Boudoir would be good to bring the message of sexuality forward. 

Follow me as I prepare for the shoot. You guys will be with me on the journey as I decide what outfits to wear, hair styling, make up etc. Most importantly you guys will help me mentally prepare. I’m excited to have you guys on the journey with me. Until next time. 

Love, Life, and Jesus
