been praying about it a lot lately.
that's usually what happens when it gets the better of me.
Prov 25:28 was a part of my time with Him today.
Like a city whose walls are broken down,
is a man who lacks self-control.
defenseless, open for attack, vulnerable - that's what a city with broken walls says to me.
so, self-control = protection.
self-control of my tongue = protection of those I love
self-control of my body = protection of my health
self-control of my time = protection of my heart
self-control of my mind = protection of my soul
fully aware that those are in God's hands when you boil it all down.
the tricky part is that I want to control them
self-control = protection
protection = full trust in Christ and a tongue, body, time and mind that are always focused on Him.
self-control = giving control over to someOne who just knows better.
the end.
now if I could just implement this as easy as it goes down on paper!?

This is a big struggle of mine too. I am convicted ALL THE TIME as I see it EVERYWHERE in the Bible. Although, I must say, I love your openess ;-)
