WARNING - kinda gross. I'm not the emobidment of holiness I should be. My mind goes waaaay off the straight and narrow path onto some pretty dark and sometimes just downright obscence places and sometimes for too long a time.
The good news is I went SIX DAYS without indulging into them "gratifying the desires of my flesh" (I'm using "flesh" in a literal sense here, not the ambiguous manner of speaking that you might be prone to interpret that in if you find out "Well, the Greek word used actually means...")
SIX
I know, I know. Like "Seriously? I haven't done that ____" in decades!! You're just now at the SIX DAY mark? Dude, you've been going to church for 10 years now and you're STILL a pathetic sonofaflugga"
Ok, so I'm still growing. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS of room for improvement.
But compared to before I acknowledged God --- every day --- AT LEAST 7 days a week (usually)
After I came to recognize God, I think maybe it went down to 6 days a week max.
After I got more burdened to be more proactive against this sinfulness, it was like 4 times a week.
Since I've been getting counseling from a young man whose more mature in the faith than I can expect to be,
---- it's been down to like 3 x a week. The previous week that ended slightly over a week ago (today is a Monday), it was down to TWICE(!)
I did succumb to the temptation yesterday. THAT I am by no means proud of or exclaiming. The fact is I went SIX DAYS without doing so.
My aim is to make it AT LEAST 9. Hopefully I can stretch it to 10 or 11. YO!
GOD IS ON THE MOVE!!!
