Hi, I just heard Dr. Dave Martin, one of America's leading success coaches, speak at our church. He was talking about the power of our imagination, how our future is shaped by it and when we imagine big things happening, they happen.
I was mulling it all over, thinking about my imagination's habits, when I realized how selfish and piggish I am.
When it comes to girls in my imagination, it is always sex. Always.... I never really before imagined myself with them bowling, or playing baseball, or just having conversation. Now here is my experiment, to imagine myself having good clean fun with the girls I know instead of imagining sex all the time. I create illusions and deceptions in my mind by imagining sex - because it is not real or possible. But if I imagine good clean fun I bet I can make that happen.
I will let you know how it goes.... I was praying about the transformation of my mind (Roman 12:2 I think) today, and this is where it led, to the above thoughts.
I never EVER think about good clean fun with the girls. In my mind, it is disgusting. And I know God detests ANY sin. It killed His Son.
I am REALLY fighting this. Getting stronger every day.
GUYS, (OR GIRLS!), HAVE PATIENCE, its been a big thing for me to forgive myself and be patient with myself. Ive been fighting this forever but like I say I get stronger every day.
Heres to imaging, visualizing, creating an amazing future - we ALL have the power (Gods the Creator, were His image. So we can Create. How? OUR IMAGINATION!!!)
Back again and never giving up. God Bless....
