I want to confess here because I’m so ashamed to confess to family or friends. I’m a Christian but have so much difficulty staying focused on Christ. For the most part am a good person. I have a big heart and I feel compassion for others. However I notice I backslide when I’m lonely. It’s my loneliness that leads me to enter unhealthy relationships with men. I long so much for the love of a companion. All my friends are married and I just keep wondering when is it my turn? It’s not a daddy issue, my father was and is still is very present in my life. I had a good example of a Christian marriage in my two-parent household. I’m not sure what it is with me. I just tend to lose myself in flings and relationships. I made a promise to myself after my last relationship that I would truly live for Christ and guard my heart and my body. I have failed 4 times since then. I let these men sweet talk me, even the ones that claim to be Christians. Next thing I know I’ve opened my heart and my legs, only to realize that person never cared about me. I used to think it was them but it’s me. Because it just happened again. I’m angry at the guy blaming him but I’m also mad at myself. How many times do I have to allow my heart to break over a silly guy that hasn’t paid the true price for me? I’m praying for my forgiveness and repenting. It’s just so difficult to receive God’s forgiveness. I’m so mad at myself. The last guy I really thought we had a connection and that we could be together and be celibate. That lasted 2 days. I gave in because my will is weak and my walk is weak. I want to be stronger in my spirit. Not sure how to go about it. I’m praying daily, fighting back tears am memories of these men that I allowed to use me and break me down. Hoping and praying that peace and understanding come soon. I so want to overcome.
