To be real and to the point. I struggle with many things. I've not been open and honest about them. I liked to keep them secret so I could be the 'good christian', but I want to be done with them. Plus, even the good christian is seen as a used tampon in comparison to God. Don't judge me. I can talk about it because I am over doing it.
In 2009 I will stop party-drinking. One or two drinks when I'm out to a meal, but no more than that ever. And even then, rarely.
In 2009 I will not smoke cigarettes or pot.
In 2009 I will get rid of all my lustful strongholds
In 2009 I will stop indulging in all of my food-related desires.
In 2009 I will make every attempt to stop being impatient, stubborn, quick to get angry, and closed off.
In 2009 I will start being healthy and taking care of my body.
In 2009 I will focus on school, keep my room cleaned, and be more organized.
In 2009 I will make every effort to seek out God and give him what he paid for.
In 2009 I will do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with my God.

'Our righteous acts are like filthy rags in the presence of a holy God!' I love it! That has been a pivotal passage for me for a while now. Realizing that even if you try, it is virtually impossible to please God with or good deeds and faithful acts. & it goes to show the worth of Jesus! Its humbling! Gabs, I appreciate your openess and transparency. Too often, we try to place this Christ-life on a high pedestal ane when we fall short, we feel like we have to hide behind the cross. When the s#@% hits the fan, and our junk is exposed, then its too late. Thats why I admire you stepping out and just being transparent. Now I know how I can pray for you. Now I know what areas to hold you accountable in. And now, people can be changed through the Christ that is actively and visibly changing you!
