Obsession is the enemy's tool Wednesday, August 31, 2005

Wow, I'm nuts!  At the end of the day yesterday, I recovered an email account.  I had that "itch" of curiousity that always snowballs into the addiction.  No one had left me any messages.  Still though, I felt a lot of guilt for my fall.

Just a few minutes ago, I did the same thing trying to see if anyone left me an enticing message.  Nothing.  Immediately, I got a message from my pastor (at a legitimate address...lol) on how he values me and my work in the church. 

God, thank you for watching me and shepherding me.  I cannot trust myself.  Help me out!

By the way, thank you, Teresa for your encouraging note.  May the One who created you give you the peace and the strength He promises you.

i appreciate you sharing your struggle and your faith here. and welcome to open diary!

i should say that you and i see homosexuality differently in that i don't think of it as inherently sinful. i believe some people are naturally made by god to be homosexual or bisexual (as i am).

however, i know how horrible it feels to be obsessed with something, to not want to do something and yet still to do it, and to be frightened and conflicted about what i am doing and how it might hurt other people i love. for me homosexuality hasn't been an issue like that but other things have.

i think writing does help to sort things out, to center yourself and find peace. i wish that for you.  [teresa]
