Well I got a short post for this. Just a few little things I wanted to say and I'll start with this, this is the last post from me for the year. I've posted a decent amount this year and I think maybe I will try to post more over the next year as I have my random thoughts about God and Jesus and America and really whatever comes to mind that I think is important enough to blog about.
Well that said I guess its time to focus on the short little part that the title of this post is about and call it quits as I'm actually trying to play a game right now too but I really felt I needed to post this. So like the title says this is how I beat porn. There is no secret to be hidden about this, there is no program I downloaded, all there is is God, myself, and a story. I have a small backstory to it all and I'm gonna start a new paragraph to use to talk about it because I can :D.
Well the backstory goes as such: For Christmas I got Donald Miller's newest book, A Million Miles In A Thousand Years. I can't begin to describe adequately how much I liked the book, all I can say is I sat down and read it in one sitting without stopping.. I just couldn't stop. Anyways, so like I said I got the book for Christmas and read it in one sitting. The book is about writing the story of your life, kind of a subcontext of the book is that the story should be exciting. So as I read the book I thought in the back of my head about how I want my story to be fun, and exciting, and a good read, not to mention if it was made into a movie I would want the viewers to leave having enjoyed themselves and not demanding a refund of their 9$ spent to see it... Well lets face it porn addiction doesn't make for a good story so I decided to give it up. I finished the book and I laid in my futon thinking to myself about how I could make my story more exciting, into a better story overall.. So I decided to talk to God, not yell at God like I've become so good at.. To talk to God, to ask Him for the help and the grace I need to put away the box of stuff that was porn and to get out a new, bigger, better box He had left for me under the Christmas tree. So I put the old box down, closed it up, and decided to give the new box a chance see just how much better my story got. I can only speak of the day that I've been making a better story for myself, but thus far things have been swell.. When I get back to SBU I want to keep working on something of a social experiment.. I want to see if by applying the things I read about to everything I have to do daily, the mundane, bogus, check list of things I must do as a college student doesn't make the story of my time in college better.
If anyone still reads this blog at all, and if you want to know something more, I'm sure you know how to get a hold of me. If nothing else I link this to my Facebook page. Well this is all I had to say... Toodles. One love.
