Well I hope you are enjoying the new design of Take Me Away. It is something I want to keep up with every month and change, it just took me awhile to find a design I liked. So I'm back to the real world, home in Florida and in debt up to my eyeballs, but I have faith that the Lord will provide me with some income so I am not worried. Lately, I have been struggling with a few issues and it's those personal issues no one likes to talk about but I'm talking about it. It's called lust, masterbation, sexual immorality, call it what you may, it's one in the same. I am human and although I hate to admit it, I am not perfect ;). I struggle with these things like any other person and seek the Lord for guidence on how to solve these problems within myself. I was up last night, late. This is a confession so get ready. I was browsing the internet late, which is something I don't recommend at all because you're more likely to give into certain things that can cause your spiritual life harm. So I ended up seeing some images that were pornographic, not by fault but by accidently choosing something else instead of my intended pursuit. So that got the devil into my mind and thus...I think you get what I'm saying. So I want to let you all know, so that you can keep me accountable. Ryan and I struggled with it this weekend but we were able to not do anything thanks to God! :) So that is a praise. So I've been thinking about this all day because it was nothing I intended to happen, to see these things and it cause me harm but it did. My spiritual life has reached a point of not growing and I really dislike that. I am seeking the guidence of God for joining the choir at church and finding a ministry there. My quiet time....well pretty much lack their of has hurt me. It's just like anything that's important, you find ways to make it work for you and keep it as a priority.
I am enjoying the forum my beloved friend Chette has created at Friendship and Counseling Forum and it is nice to be connected to others worldy that believe what I do.
I have to say a big thank you to those who enjoy reading my blog. It let's me know that the world really does want to hear what I have to say, translation - a novel! Yes I am working( very slowly) on a novel. I've also been considering getting my Masters in Library and Information Sciences again, because I can use that to be a researcher for a specific subject, like Art History. So we'll see how that goes. Until next time!
Have a blessed day!
About Me

- The reason I became a Christian is beacuse I believe what the Bible says about Jesus is true. Jesus said he is the Son of God, and that he is the only way to God. the events repored over and over again in the New Testament ring true to me: that Jesus suffered the just punishment of God for the sins of the world, that God raised him from the dead, and that Jesus is now in heaven preparing to return to glory. I became a Christian when I accepted what Jesus did on my behalf and resolved to live according to his teachings. My life didn't become easy, but I became stronger. My needs and desires continue to change as my faith grows. Life has become focused and my days are marked by a sturdy inner peace that I never had before I was a Christian. You too can become a Christian. Jesus will never force you to believe in him. If you believe Jesus is who the Bible says he is, tell him you believe, ask him to come into your life and give you faith. He loves you, and you matter to him.

well, we are in the process :) before we had a struggle like that (individually though) But I think one of the things.. God used for me and Philip to stop struggling... is spending a lot of time with Christian fellowship and things.. Like they say.. your environment can mold you.. so when we started to get involve with church environment and ministry :) we stopped struggling :)
Hang in there :D I'll pray for you :)
That's a very courageous amount of honesty with your readers. I was totally unaware that girls had "problems" with these sorts of things that you mention, so tonight's reading was a bit of a learning experience for me.
I like the new layout... especially since it's at the same web address! A new look without me having to update my blogroll. ;)
Hello!
Well that's true! I myself is not perfect too and trust me i bet 90% of all human beings struggle with the same problem. However I noticed one thing, whenever I am on fire, the kind that is hot and fiery, I am able to fight against it. But when I am lukewarm, nah. I tend to give in. I hate it and I am really praying to God that He will help me fight all the struggles that is coming to my life ...
