I messed up.

I saw a naked woman this evening. I was at my friend’s party and we were swimming and they convinced her to get naked. (Now, theoretically I didn’t join in on telling her to get naked…but I didn’t tell her not to.) And she was naked.

So I saw a naked woman, I saw her private parts, and I wanted to look away. But every time it was mentioned, and she would almost take them off (this is before they were off) my man-feelings would let me know: Look.

So I didn’t set a very good example of a life dedicated to Christ.


(I must remember: two steps forward, one step back.)

Debauchery is so easy!

On a better note (and cleaner and crisper and more beautiful) I went to a three-day conference called the Leadership Summit, which my church invited me to, and it was awesome. Today I was convicted of my selfishness of looking for a girlfriend. Now I know that doesn’t seem so selfish, but the last speaker said this: “A life spent in the pursuit of anything but the transformation of human hearts is worthless.” (I think he used a different word than “worthless”, but it’ll do.) Lately all I do is focus on the absence of women, even Godly women, but that’s not what I should be focusing on. My life is Christ’s, and I have to accept it and make my focus showing others who He is.

(And, again, I did not accomplish this tonight.)

I’m not going to go to bed tonight, so I’m just cleaning my room, which is so unbearably dirty. This is not an overstatement or exaggeration; in every direction is 2 feet of junk.

So I guess I’ll go. Hopefully I made some friends tonight, I think I did.

If you try too hard not to think about women, that’s all you’re going to think about. If you try too hard not to think of anything in particular…well that’s all you’re going to think about. Human nature. got to love it

That IS a tough thing to do, takes a lot of self control. Pray about it

Just a random noter, came across your diary. You shouldn’t feel guilty, it’s natural to have those instincts. If you constantly deny yourself then it will do more harm than good.

If your so worried about this than perhaps you should not put yourself at parties with people (especially women) who would take off their clothes in public. I feel sorry for the woman….she knows not what she does.
