Changing my Lifestyle-

God has such a great sense of humor...He cracks me up rofl . How these steps are coinciding with my life is almost laughable (in a good way). This is something that I have been working really hard at. I'm trying to be a better Christian and a better person overall. There are many things I have to change in my life, however the first thing I'm trying to change is the sexual part of my life. I'm trying really hard to not have sex until I'm married. This is a biggie! Once I know I'm ok with this then I'll move onto something else. I can't do that and try changing 5 other things at the same time. Most women would say "oh it's not that hard, men are the ones that would struggle with this" but I'm a very sexual person which is why I chose this one first. I started this about a month ago, I've gotten off of the path once...I'm going to continue to pray on this and whatever He wants me to change next, it's what I'll do...I'll keep you posted and as usual ask for your prayers!

Love & Blessings,

It is funny the way the Lord works at times. :)

We all fall down sis. Progress, not perfection. I hope you are involved in the SOS program. I hear good things about it.

Focus on the good that you want and not the bad.

Keep your love for the Lord strong. Hold tight to him, always.

God loves ya and so do I.
*angel7* Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, But faith looks up! Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our Creator who loves us.

Awww sis, I think that's a great item to start with. Your chart doesn't have to have a lot of things on it at first...just add things as you go along. It's just the fact that you are starting somewhere.

Now you have chosen a very big item to begin with sis, and just remember if you fall down get back up. Repent your sin to God, forgive yourself and get up and back on track. Trying harder to not fall when temptation heads your way.

One more step sis and you'll be halfway through. God is proud of you, and so am I.

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.

Changing our lifestyle can sometimes be difficult because we don't always want to give up certain things but in order for God to work in us He must have total control. We all have things in our lives that will be hard to deal with and God knows that and He understands, as long as you keep making the effort to change and obey Him you will do just fine. If you fall get up ask for forgiveness believe you are forgiven and move on. God will either put it into your heart to marry this person or He may have a different plan for you either way continue to trust in Him and keep praying. Glad to see you still going through the steps.

I keep noticing how it is so more beautiful and intimate in God's love.

But I still can give in.

But the ones attractive do not call my attention to God.

The ones who can minister me into God's love are more beautiful . . . deeper . . . not just charming.

So, you would think I would get wise to this.
