Abstinent Again?

So quite a few years have passed since I started this blog. Let me put it this way; when I started this blog there was no Snapchat or  Insta, and Facebook was a baby. Things change. The world has changed. The internet has changed. Guess what hasn't changed? Me. I'm still abstinent. Actually...

I'm not abstinent. I wasn't abstinent when I started the blog all those years ago. I was married then and I'm still married now...to the same man. But I'm still pushing purity. I'm still saying that the greatest path to the success you want to be and the you you are now is purity. Why? Because purity clears your mind. It clears your mind of all your doubts, regrets, self-loathing and other things that clutter your mind when you aren't living naked and unashamed before God. Unholy sex makes us hide, just like Adam hid in the garden. Being with people in ways we know we shouldn't makes us ashamed.

These days it's not cool to be ashamed. It's cool to be out-loud with our choices, whether good or bad. It's cool to own our decision whether they hurt ourselves or others. Be bold with your badness. And I get the idea of being responsible for yourself. But it's not cool to act like your life is good when it's not. That's fine for the public, but when you get home, you still feel that heavy, nagging feel that something isn't right and you're not clean. God didn't make us to live with the burden of sin. He wants us to be clean and we get that by confessing our sins and faults to him and allowing a holy God to absolve us of our sin.

So I'm back to say, Hey! If that's you. I know what you're missing. And because I've been there, I know what you need. Let God clean you up. Not accuse you, not punish you. God just wants... you. He wants to spend time with you, show you who he is and then show you who you are...who he created you to be. I will spend as long as it takes to encourage you to embrace a pure mind that believes everything that God says about you. You're worth it.
