Joe's Celibacy Journal- Good thoughts on celibacy



Entry 9

You know all I've written in this journal is how sad or how hard it's been being celibate. The purpose of this journal was to encourage others not to discourage them. So here it is this entry will tell you about the stuff I haven't said. The good stuff.

I'm not guilty!!! When I go to church or when I'm praying I don't have to worry about repenting for the same sin (fornication). It feels good that I've finally made a decision to be stronger than my flesh, my sexual urges, and my lustful thoughts. I'm stronger.Other people are encouraged by my commitment to abstain from sex until I'm married. I've even met other young people who are determined to wait until they are married to have sex.

It is very encouraging to know that I'm stronger because of this decision. It is good to know that I don't have to worry about STD's, AIDS, HIV, or anything like that because I'm not doing anything. I feel empowered because I'm not driven to have sex to fit in or to feel like a man, but I'm willing to wait until the Lord sends me my wife that I can have all the blessed guilt free sex I want with. (A HUGE SMILE ON MY FACE).

I'm happy because I made the decision to wait and it wasn't forced on me.
