DAY 16...Where the wild Things Are

"You cannot find peace by avoiding life." -Virginia Woolf

Perhaps you remember reading "Where the Wild Things Are" as a kid. It's about a kid who is sent to his room for misbehaving. His imagination takes off and he finds himself in a far off land with other "wild things."

Though he his made king. Though he is in charge of everything he finds himself...lonely. He has run away from everything he loves. He has shunned those who are trying to help change his behavior. He longs to be back with his family.

The appeal and temptations of things that hurt us, in this case pornography, is strong. There are reasons one can give for going to "that place." Ultimately it makes us lonely and the things that we think make us happy, simply, don't. We need to leave that place and go back to where those who love us care for us. We need to go back to reality and quit pornography.

Today's Instructions:
A. Pray for the day, for friends, for family, for enemies. Thanksgiving, Requests, Praise.
B. In the Fortify Program, Update the battle tracker. Go to Week 3. Check out, "How Knowledge Would Have Helped You" and "How We Got Here: Crazy Awesome Technology"
C. Go to the daily readings and read today's Scripture.
D. Journal the following: 1. What causes you to go to "that place" and want to escape reality. 2. How can you face those things directly, be it work, people, etc?

Today's Tips: When the urges come get up. Stop. Breathe. Find a book from your childhood and read it. Remember who you are and the beauty of what it was like to be a little kid who learned these important lessons in a simplistic way, back then.

God give you strength. See you tomorrow.
