Green... Growth, New Life, Peace, Health,

Today was the beginning of a new point for me and Cat. Time and time again we have tried to kick our sexually immoral habits. (to no avail) With the wedding coming up in 4.5 months, we have been even more focused (and yet failing) on the fact that we dont want this to follow us up to our wedding day. Under the conviction of scripture and the prodding of the heart by God, we are beginning a new life. It sounds naive and trivial on paper, but this is big. No more will we be accepting of the ways we have followed our lusts. I am going to start a Bible study with her this semester (dont know on what yet).

Even more, we have decided to fast from each other. Fasting as I understand it is the forgoing of an item or practice so special that you miss it, and when you do long for it you are reminded to long after Christ. Well this is the beginning of much missing Cat. I am fearful of the pain that is sure to come from this. I am excited to see what God teaches me, and even more thrilled to remove this sin from our relationship.


::::::::::::::::::Scripture for the Day::::::::::::::::

1 Cor 9:27
No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

1 Thes 4:3
It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable. Not in passionate lusts as the heathen do.
