I am in love with a goat

I struggle with masturbation. This lie of an addiction has been attached to my heart for ten years. I've gone through every loophole, every excuse, every possible reason that would allow me to continue this destructive behavior. It is the single most distracting thing in my relationship with God and a severe stumbling block. I have outright disobeyed and ignored God, I have lusted, and I have perverted one of God's most precious gifts to satisfy my earthly passion.

Sex is a beautifully designed act to portray the love of God to the one person that I will enter into covenant with. Masturbation is an act that betrays that love and chooses to instead pleasure oneself. This is the same as idolatry. It is choosing to find pleasure outside of covenant. It is representative of me telling God that I would rather find pleasure in the world than in Him.

Sex is not just physical. It is not just emotional. It is spiritual.

In Colossians 3:5 Paul says:

"Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry."

Passion is equivalent to idolatry. Our fulfillment is meant to come from relationship with Christ, not from earthly passions, i.e. masturbation.

I've told myself that it's just physical, I'm not actually lusting because I'm not thinking of a woman, that it's not hurting anyone (it's actually conditioning your mind that sex is about getting pleasure, so it's hurting yourself and your future spouse), that I'll change eventually, and so on.

This is such a sensitive yet important topic that doesn't get addressed enough, so I hope this helps anyone struggling with this.

I feel like my friends I made at fox don't even think about me anymore. It hurts because I think about how much I miss them and would love to hang out. Just because I don't go there anymore doesn't mean I don't miss my old friends.

So many people are getting engaged and married on fb that I might go insane

It's amazing to me that literally the three worst possible choices for president are the only ones left running... 3rd party candidates?

I gotta admit, I really didn't want to vote for Trump. I was a Kasich guy from day 1. But now that it's him, Sanders, and Clinton, it's a lot easier to vote Trump.

im the gorge fox slut and I don't even go here
