Quotes by Kari Trumbo (?)

“Why Lord? Why am I always the friend and never anything more? Will I be alone forever?”
― Kari Trumbo, Small Town Love Story

1 likes

“Will you regret letting him kiss you if you compare his kiss to your husband’s your whole life? Or was it more than a kiss? That is why the church expects purity. It isn’t because they don’t understand temptation, or even that they don’t understand how wonderful a budding relationship can be. Including the stolen kisses. No. They understand all too well how good it feels and how seductive desire can be. The Lord expects you to remain pure for other reasons. Your body is a temple and should be for you and your husband only.”
― Kari Trumbo, Seven Brides of South Dakota Series #0.5-3
