i just wanted to share that i had a great weekend. my hubby is teaching a course on spiritual warfare at church and this past week has really struck something in me about my sex addiction. we have been praying that i would be able to resist satan's tricks that lead me to loosing those battles with my sex addiction.
today, i am at work all by myself and normally, i would be tempted to look at something and m. but i do feel stronger. in our lesson, i have learned that i give the enemy too much credit. i have had doubts such as "i will never get over the urge to act out", "since i don't really feel the heartbroken remorse that i did when i first started struggling, then will god still forgive me?" and other stupid thoughts. god has more power than satan and his demons ever will. he just wants to make me slip so i will not allow myself to be used effectively by god for the furtherance of his kingdom. i have to squash these feelings of lust, doubt and fear as soon as i feel them swelling up in me. i also have to pray that god will place in me not only the desire to do what is right but also if i do slip, that i would have a true heart felt repentance that is not just - ok, i have sinned again, i better tell god that i'm sorry. i believe i have made a turn.... very hopeful....

Very encouraging Sam. Our Lord deeply nurtures our struggle to be clean.
God bless,
