i really hope this website continues. it is really meeting a need! so many feel that they are alone with this addiction, that there is no one to talk to who understands, or who will keep a confidence! couple of websites have been a real help in my life: dangerous. passionate. alive. free. the way of the warrior poet-james courdrey, and also, a new discovery: people of the second chance (potsc), which gives testimonies of folks who have messed up, and have found His restoring grace. in any even, keep the blog alive: it's meeting needs! who needs a blog like this? to quote jamie, the very worst missionary (another excellent blog) "you'd be surprised!"

I have been listening to both JE's spiritual warfare CD's and it is a great analogy of JET LI in the movie Fearless. Story of redemption and he loses his heart. The better he gets the more sophisticated the enemy that's sent to him.

My heart is with you all as I pray for my husband I'm praying for you all, too. The enemy knows you well. You have beat this, you did! Keep focusing on how much Your Daddy loves you and wants you to succeed! Keep at it!

Blessings,
Kimberly

Day 12

In the past this is when I have started to hit some speed bumps.. I may still.. but however things are a little bit different now.. but we will get to that.. somewhere between 6 and 12 I hit an important junction.. an opportunity that has sort of always been there has recently progressed from being “flirty but unavailable” to being “available, but we have to be discreet”. I find it no coincidence that this has happened now, for two reasons. The first being of course fantasy; here is an opportunity to begin to imagine what being with this girl would actually be like. You see before we get to the second, the truth is that I wouldn’t be able to do it anyway, even if I had the opportunity. However, you see in the past, well actually up until recently I have always thought that flirting is harmless, but its not. Its called “emotional promiscuity”. Its like sprinkling water on a seed that has been planted that you are not sure you want to grow. Or in the case of trying to control lust and sexual thoughts its pretty much like poking the bear during hibernation. He’ll stir a little at first and probably fall off to sleep again pretty soon, but if you keep poking him for a while, he s gonna be awake and very hard to put to sleep again. You see for me, if I hadn’t tried and failed so many other times I would of not put a lid on these thoughts and before I know it, I would be back where I began, where I don’t want to be, doing what I don’t want to do. The second reason is the same trick the enemy has been trying on me for some time now. Early last year I fell for it; I wasn’t in a good place and I made a stupid mistake. My radar was messed up amongst other things. Somehow I managed to once again not sleep with this girl, even after putting myself in a very compromising position. God, in His grace, saved me from me, again. I promised him that would be the last time and I meant it. With His grace I can keep that promise. In the past, this is about when I have messed up and started over again. But I don’t want to do it this time, I don’t want to start over, im sick of starting over. I feel a little like an F1 driver who knows the circuit he is on so well because he has been practicing and he has made the mistakes at the same corners so many times and doesn’t want to make the same mistakes again at the same places. Even after all this, after all the effort I put in, after doing the best I can do, I will fail if I trust in myself alone. The truth is, and its taken a while for this to actually sink in, is that without Him im screwed. You see im not really doing this, He is. He is doing most of the work, I am partnering with Him, trying, but its all Him. it really is. I’m not falling, im not making the same mistakes because of Him and what He is doing in my heart and my life. The glory, really does belong to Him. The war however, I still have to fight.

Hey Sean..

Thanks for the support.. these posts and there are more to come were posted so that not only i dont forget that there is a battle but so that maybe other men and the partners of those men, who are going throught the same as we both are know that someone else like them is fighting and if they are not fighting they can and with God's help and a touch of His grace in their darkest hour prevail..
thanks for the verse in Joshua.. that use to be one of my favourites, i forgot it was there until now..
"The Grace of God helps us stand when others fall"..

Wow adam. I couldn't have put it better myself with both posts...especially day 1. the battle is tough, and making time for god and with god is critical in the most intense warfare, im going through almost the exact same attack now. Know that you are not alone brother, i fight by your side, the enemy just makes it seem like we are fighting this battle alone. Keep fighting! Im praying for you!

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
