REPENT we are told...this is more than a "i'm sorry"
there are some forms of temptation i have removed from my life this past year. using an exaggerated metaphor jesus said pluck out our eye if it causes you to sin. he was not being literal, but i have gone so far as to quit my most recent job i held the past 9 years. it is time for a sabbatical the next few months to mentally deal with my recent life changes and the NEW NORMAL.
i am unsure of what to do here. do i stay and relieve my carnal needs rather than keep them bottled up inside me, or do i leave this site as true repentance. as paul wrote in his letter to the romans...i do what i hate.
i have over the years come to the conclusion of doing the best i can with what i have been given, whether on the job or in my own life in this imperfect world. i struggle with the meaning of the verse i am weak and HE is strong. ive prayed so many times...protect me temptation and evil, but it persists in each of our lives.
my faith and belief are what keep me from giving up completely the fight raging within this shell of a body that is the temporary shelter for my spirit and soul.
