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

Mental Health Pandemic

This is more or less an impulsive post. After many years, for the first time, I decided to watch Good Will Hunting. Of course, I'd seen it referenced in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, but I'd never once actually seen the movie. I was quite shocked to see that Robin Williams was in this movie. Although the movie was an award-winning drama and was meant to play at your emotions, the entire time I couldn't help but feel saddened by the absence of Robin Williams in real life.

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...

Mask on... Fuck it, Mask Off?

  It's frustrating that I even feel the need to write about this. It's more than frustrating, it's downright infuriating. It's so strange to look back on my life and see how far I have come. I used to have the worst attitude in the world. If my day was going bad I would take it out on anyone and everyone at any given time. It wasn't until I was at McDonald's one day, and a lady I had been really nasty to said to me "Honey, I haven't done anything to you." I remember exactly how I felt in that moment. The mere memory of it elicits the same emotions and feelings of that moment. The realization as it swept over me, the light that seemed to brighten my world, and the smile that spread across my face. I felt light, and I felt free. I apologized and vowed from that day forward that I would try my best not to take my bad day out on others. Admittingly, I still struggle with it from time to time, however, in those moments that I do forget I try to at least...
