Today I stumbled. I have done good all this week by not giving in to temtation, since Saturday or Sunday. Actually, I have not felt tempted much at all, until today. I came home from work and was by myself. I was checking my emails and suddenly got the urge to look at things I know I shouldn't. I kept telling myself not to, that I shouldn't, that it would only make me feel like a horrible person. But for some reason I gave in to temptation. I know God is forgiving, but how many times will he forgive me for making the same mistake over and over?

As long as you repent with a true and sincere heart, He will forgive you as many times as it takes. So you fell down...time to get up. Repent, let go, and move forward. Just keep on fighting til you win the fight.

luv ya
Do you know my Jesus? Do you know my friend? Have you heard He loves you? If not, I'd like to introduce you.

Chefy.... He will forgive always if you sincerely turn to Him with everything you have and repent...

Then as mlg said, keep moving on and fighting...

Sounds like you also know some of your triggers too... that has helped me head a fall off at the pass :) Content filters have helped too as I'm sure others have suggested...

GBU Chefy, and keep coming back and sharing!
