Joe's Celibacy Journal
Entry 3:
So as I've made this declaration of independence from the slavery that pleasing my flesh has brought. The attack and the struggle has gotten even more difficult!!! I've already lost some support and some people saying I won't make it.I've been to the altar so many times about sex and the guilt from all the wrong I've committed; it is time to try something different. If it wasn't a challenge it wouldn't be worth anything.Even a girl that I was interested in has changed her mind about me based on my decision to be celibate. I knew it wouldn't go anywhere between her and I and so I didn't take it hard at all.I just want to be a light in this world, but a genuine light. A true Christian that hasn't forgotten that I was once lost in sin. A man that realizes the struggle of trying to live right and can have compassion for those who haven't made that decision yet.In my mind and in my body I want to turn back, but my heart and my soul knows that this decision is for the best. I chose celibacy for me! Religion didn't force me it was a response to God's great love and even greater mercy.I will walk in this promise I've made to God and to myself.Let it be difficult or easy...
