Journaling is a powerful tool through which I acknowledge divine power at work. It has the power to maintain my momentum, sharpen my focus & keep me motivated. Truth often speaks so softly that we need moments of reflection to capture it before we can incorporate it.
I’ve decided to keep a fairly regular (as close to daily as I can) log of my journey from sexual addiction to freedom. I want it to be clear to myself and to anyone who ever asks, “how did you do it?!” that it was my Savior that reached into my life in small and simple ways to work great and marvelous changes in my life.
After continued evaluation and re-evaluation I’ve come up with 4 areas that really energize & motivate me. When I journal I will be asking myself the following questions as I daily strive for personal freedom from addiction.
My Journey of Freedom’s Focus Questions:
How did I see the Lord’s power to change in my life today while I…
1. …thoughtfully gave of myself to my brothers and sisters?
2. …gratefully remembered his mercy and grace?
3. …was learning about my addiction?
4. …courageously chose the right?
In this journal I hope to shed light on the truths of pornography use, to instill hope in those that are caught in the darkness of addiction, to inspire action and to help facilitate the success that will come to all those who wish it.
Sounds like you are on the right track…it does take daily reflection so that Satan cannot get his clutches on you! Remember that the Savior is truly more powerful than Satan ever could be! Keep that thought in the forefront…He will lead you down the straight and narrow path!
Thanks Marcy! I pray that thought will always be with me. I think I’ll write that down and put it on my Dream Board. Your thoughtful comment is much appreciated!
Thoughtfully serve, gratefully remember, continually learn, courageously choose…sounds like a life creed to me. Very eloquent and carefully thought out. A great way to focus and journal your successes and the Lord’s hand in your life during your recovery.
