Days 19, 20, and 21

Day 19 - Busy all day long, no problems!

Day 20 - A little tempation last night, but I didn't think twice about saying no.

Day 21 - Today is the three week mark; a place I haven't been in a while. I've got enough work to do even on a Sunday to keep me busy all day long. My temptations aren't as strong anymore, and I'm feeling good. The next two weeks will prove to be difficult, as I'll be without my wife. I don't have as much to keep me busy during that time either. But the Lord has gotten me this far, He's not giving up on me when I really need Him. He has given me the strength to turn away from temptation. One day, about a week ago, I was tempted to look at topless women; just breasts. But before I did, I got to thinkin' - why is this any better? After my first attempt, I wrote that I didn't even want to lust after other women. I meant it, and I knew I would have failed in my attempt even if I just looked at one picture. I really feel like I'm on the right track here, like God is really speaking to me. He has something great planned for me and I'm not throwing it away to porn. It's only been three weeks - 49 more to go. I have a long road ahead of me, but with God on one side and my wife on the other, I'll reach the end. God bless.
