We just have to keep resisting the urge to give in. It's a day to day thing, and some days are easier than others. But we can never let our defenses down - that's when it gets dangerous.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-39406398288718848152011-03-19T14:33:01.897-07:002011-03-19T14:33:01.897-07:00I am such a fan of yours... I repect you so much.....I am such a fan of yours... I repect you so much... I have always been very active Mormon... I was raised by an amazing family and never did a THING wrong thru high schcool.... I was the 4.25 gpa athletic mormon girl who could go whereever I wanted with scholorships in athletics or academics... I however decided to do my rebelling in marrying my first husband...a alcoholic, drug adict returned missionary( didn't know of the first 2 before hand)... I've lived the life...my first husband said if I didn't drink with him I didn't love him, so I did, and truthfully it was fun....but I have NEVER not gone to church... I always had my testimony no matter how I was living. I have lived and worked in Hill crest in San Diego... Many of my co-workers returned missionary or not were gay... I undrstand Temptation... I love all Heavenly Father's children...I understand temptation... But I also understand a ultimate testimony that no matter what(be it attracted to men like you, or physically, emotionally and spiritually abused like me) our testimony doesn't change... I know and love a lot of gay men, but none that are still committed to living the gospel... I am a VERY happily married Mormon wife and mom now. Now as I am a mom I really reapect how you were raised and the mom that you had... I pray that I can raise my son he same way that no matter what temptation he faces he can still have his testimony intact... Thank you for showing me that is possible...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-27467554005195706032011-03-19T12:05:56.623-07:002011-03-19T12:05:56.623-07:00Me. Too. I've been reading up on a book that...Me. Too. I've been reading up on a book that actually says the reasons that we eat can directly tie into our relationship with God. I don't know about that. I'm still sitting with it.<br /><br />But apparently I do agree that I am just giving up on myself in that moment. The times when I don't feel like I can handle it. I feel like the emotion will overwhelm me. That's when I feel like a little sugar vacation. Praying <i>would</i> be more advantageous. <br /><br />I'm told the key is to stop running away. That really feeling what I'm avoiding isn't that bad. I'm trying to get there.JourneyBeyondSurvivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701594704460907630noreply@blogger.com
