Hi family !!!!!

Ok i have been feeling convicted and convicted and convicted of my habit of smoking. I have reached the conclusion that I am going to have to be held accountable for this. So, this is my plan. Starting tomorrow, I am going to smoke no more than 12 cigs. Thursday 11 cigs, etc. until i am at zero! I have a lock box to lock up the extra cigs as they come 20 in a pack. I will have some money Friday night so Saturday I will be looking for low fat or sugar free candies to have handy. I wuld say veggies, well maybe i do carrots too. I am convinced that in order to be able to start being healthy that it has to come first. Everyone i have ever known who has quit cigs has gained weight, so, being that i will soon be trying to eat healthier, the cigs have to be the fist to go! I tried cold turkey i tried patches, i tried gum, i tried nicotrol inhaler. The nicotrol inhaler worked longer than anything else, however stress always led me back to smoking. Soooo, my plan is to cut down me cigs, I am not entirely sure how much i smoke a day now, somewhere between half a pack and three quarters of a pack a day. My plan is when i get stressed to remind myself of my body being the Temple of Holy Spirit. and to repeat that verse along with another verse in Ephesians calling us to walk worthy of the vocation to which we are called. I am asking for help, so if u feel led, please check with me and hold me accountable, fuss at me if ya need to if i dont stick to it. I really wanna give this one to the Lord, and I need accountability. So, if you feel you can check in with me, please do. I am asking for help in being held accountable. There are many other areas that i need to be held accountable for, but one thing at a time. If i try to do too many things, i will fail. Ty my family i luvs yall so much

Goldie I am here, i will do my best to hold u accountable! As a good friend i will b honest with u because i love u.


When i read these verses i got a lot of conviction over different areas of my life, and i dint like applying it, but because i love u i want to share with u because its going to help us to have a better realtionship With our Father!

1 john 1
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.


the biggest step is admitting we have faults and then giving them completely to God is the next.

But the promise here is when we confess,

He is faithful and WILL cleanse us!

Hes awesome!

love ya Goldie!

amen He gave us the victory at the cross we been set free...

nothing we can do to save ourselves but choosing Him, giving Him us, repenting, showing God we do care are convicted and hurting over our sin and is on ur way to surrendering it and (all) things as we go ...

Its a mind thing more than a spiritual thing ... making our flesh obey is a daily walk and whopp'n on it every day LOL jk thats not good either we make ourselves sick but Paul spoke about the flesh why do I do the things I do and the things I should do I dont ... ROMANS 7

18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

GB and keep ya and amen I too will help keep you accountable ...
sooo I say again as Paul would say, sis keep on pressing on and Gods Will be Done!
