Isn't It Fun To Look Back On Your Journaling?

September 28, 2014

 

Here’s what I want today:

1.     -  No more Shame or Guilt.  Shame for being same sex attracted – I want it [shame] to go, especially knowing I had nothing to do with it.  Guilt for being fired from DSU – That was over a year ago, & it happened outside the boundaries of reasonability (not my exclusive opinion).  I want it [shame] gone.  It doesn’t belong here.  Shame & Guilt for being addicted to gay porn – I don’t want to deal with that anymore!  It feeds off of [emphasis mine] my same sex attraction for pete’s sake!  I don’t allow myself to have sex with men, therefore I want to use gay porn to create a virtual circuit.  All that’s understandable.  I’ve moved on knowing how foolish utilizing gay porn really is.  Shame for being an illegitimate child – I had no control over that!  Guilt over my Mother’s infidelity – I don’t want that anymore.  I’ve forgiven her.  Shame over my Father’s emotional retardation – I want that to cease.  I cannot change Bob or Darlene.

2.     -   No more worries about my vocation.  Right now, I’m in counseling with Dad and that’s only due to the fact that I’m employed by him.  It’s the only leverage I have with him at this point.  The counseling is with Don Waller who is awesome.  We’re beginning to scratch the surface of our broken relationship.  My Dad will let me know where and when to do what needs to be done regarding my job. 

3.      -  To love myself.  My body – as is.  My mind, my soul – all of it.  To no longer see myself as anything other than loved and FORGIVEN by Christ exactly as I’m am.

4.      -  To enjoy life again.  To have fun and anticipate.  To serve.  To recognize Providence and allow it to wash over me daily.
