My Sex Be Like... ;-)

I am hardly ever speaking directly to someone when I post. In fact most of the time I am actually speaking to myself more than I am speaking to anyone... with that being said. I'm still on sexual purity. No one wants to hear about that. No one wants to hear about abstinence, everyone wants to hear about how good God is and ride the coattails of his many blessings. 
Song Of Solomon 8:4
Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
This verse is straight forward and to the point there is nothing that needs to be said with this one. There is a time and place for everything. To awake Love to arouse Love before completely understanding exactly what it is to love without understanding the desires of Love causes heartbreak. 
1 Corinthians 6:13b
The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
Society is fooling everyone into thinking that casual sex is without consequence. That it is something that is just for us, for our desires and our pleasures. Many of us (myself included), have thought, or still think to this day that there is no possible way to get over sexual desire after all...
1 Corinthians 10:13a
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.
This verse does not pertain specifically to sexual immorality alone, there are plenty of things in our life that may tempt us. However, for the sake of this entry I am using this here. Sexual temptation has hit everyone everywhere at some point in their lives. It is common to man, that means that you are not the only one struggling with something seemingly so difficult. Don't feel alone in your struggle because there are people who struggle with it every single day. Abstinence is not something that you wake up in the middle of the night and say you know what I'm done having sex. Especially is you have already had sex before.
"But what if I can't do it?" 
1 Corinthians 10:13b
And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.
God knows the temptations that you can and cannot handle, as the scripture states he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. The only limitations on what you think you can't bear is the limitation you put there yourself with unfaithful thoughts.
1 Corinthians 10:13c
But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
If we take a look at that verse in its entirety within context it tells us that the temptation you feel is a temptation common to man, God is Faithful... I like that word faithful, I wanted to find a definition that would express this just right. The best definition was thorough [in the performance of duty] as taken from dictionary.com God is thorough; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. God knows you and your limitations he knows the situation enough ahead of time to thoroughly plan your escape route as stated in 13c. 
Romans 8:26-27
In The same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. 
Lets edit the above verse with a dictionary.com definition of Spirit.
Romans 8:26-27
In The same way, the presence of God helps us in our weakness, We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the presence of God himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the presence of God, because the presence of God intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. 
God's got this. You just have to put your faith in God that he will continue to be thorough in the performance of his duties to prosper you and not harm you. 
28 We know that in all tings God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Last but not least for all of this to truly work for you, set it in your heart mind, body, and spirit. And pray without ceasing. #PrayOutLoud #VerbalizeYourPrayerLife

Is therapy REALLY working?

At this point I have to ask, is therapy really working?    I've been in therapy on and off since I was about 14 years old... maybe one or two years younger than that. That being said, I never really got much out of it in the teen years because let's face it, as a teen you really don't want to cooperate with any adult, let alone a "Shrink". I would go and talk about nothing of importance, pretending to sleep when it was my mother's turn to come in for the session with me. How this woman knew I wasn't sleeping was beyond me. I did what I was required to do and got my Doritos every time I went, so I was happy. Looking back at my first session, I can see the pattern that started even way back then. I have the hardest time finding competent therapists. Let me explain, from the moment I read an article in Teen Magazine about depression, I basically diagnosed myself. My being in therapy wasn't even the result of my mother thinking I had depression; it was bec...

Why I Didn't Have a Bucket List

Random conversations at work tend to be the best sort of conversations. One such conversation occurred last week that has been on my mind ever since. In true ADHD fashion, I cannot tell you how this conversation came about. I can only tell you that by the conclusion of that conversation, I have been contemplating deeply on my bucket list. Two of the three of us had bucket lists, can you guess which person didn't have one? Yes, that would be me. Oddly enough, during my recent vacation to Tennessee with my best girlfriends, the mention of go-karting as something on one of their bucket lists didn't get this sort of response out of me. In fact, I thought it was cute that that was one of the things on their list. So, why was last week's conversation different? Why was that the moment I thought about what was on mine, and did I actually have one? It's taken a week to figure it all out, but this is what I came up with. First, I didn't even know what should go on my bucket ...

90 Days

  Appearances will keep you bound. I share so much, yet so little, of my life. Whether it is out of "pretending" to be a private person or shame or both I couldn't tell you. Even now I'm almost certain it's that I'm not going to tell you. I have to explain some things about alcoholism . It is not as black and white as you might think it is. See my issue with drinking started back in 2010, 2011. I drank because it was fun. I drank because it was an escape. I drank because my life at that time was difficult, but I didn't drink daily. I've always been a binge drinker . I could party on the weekends and go to work like the weekend didn't happen. I even recognized back then the possibility of a drinking problem. The clearest incident in my mind was one night I had been drinking, I got sleepy and decided to go to bed, now, an alcoholic doesn't waste alcohol. I had my cup that was still about halfway full, I didn't want to guzzle the e...
