Battle Buddies: Day 21

Three weeks in, and man, today was one of my most brutal battles against temptation. I go through my usual routine of resisting my morning temptation and thought it would be the end and head to work…….nope. I am at work when suddenly (I don't know why/how) I start having big urges. Like if I were at home, I would be worried urges. Fortunately, since I was at work, I didn't relapse, but it wasn't easy focusing on work. It got so bad that I didn't even risk going home after I clocked out. I went to my church and sat there for half an hour. Thankfully, those thoughts and urges went away. It feels like the devil is getting desperate to have me fall again. I thank the Lord that I could get through this day with his help and come home without worrying about relapsing. Brothers in Christ Robert, Cameron, and Jan: This journey we are taking is not an easy one. Today proves we cannot let our guard down for a second. The devil will use every opportunity, Every moment in our lives, and even our imagination as his primary tool in keeping us slaves to temptation. We need to continue to stay strong and keep each other up. The battle buddies and this community have helped me so much. I know it seems like every post ends the same way, but again, thank you all for being there for this journey. I'm still rooting for you guys, and I know God wants us all to succeed!
