Struggling with SSA? Read this important announcement about the weekly GYE SSA Conference call |
| |
|
Big yasher koach to everyone who has participated throughout our last conference call cycle. We had 11 phone calls.
Two important announcements for the call:
1) Tomorrow May 10, there will be a final 12th call for the cycle that will entail Q&A's for questions received since the last call. This will be the final call for this cycle.
2) The following week May 17, a new cycle will begin! That means if you are new here and struggle with unwanted SSA (same-sex attractions), it will be an opportune time to join this conference call, every Tuesday at 10:45-11:30 am EST. You can find out more info about the call here: https://guardyoureyes.com/component/zoo/item/ssa-conference

Getting Out of Hashem's Way |
| |
|
Why do we need to "get out of Hashem's way and allow him to help us"?
By GYE Corp. |
|
To me, "getting out of His way" is something we slowly begin to do in recovery. Using schmutz is our way of staying in control. Arranging to get exactly what we want when we want it, avoiding pain whenever we wish, and manipulating the environment to make it exciting when we are bored! Yippee. We essentially replace G-d. We serve Lust, because it is pretty reliable. Especially the bodily part of it. Y'know, put my "quarter" in, and voila! I can make it happen. Oy vei, gevalt. Eventually it becomes a daily, full-time preoccupation. A hidden life of private moments with complete devotion, even with sacrifice, expense and pain.
Y'know.... it sounds just like our yiddishkeit is supposed to be: "hatzneyah leches im Hashem Elokecha", korban tamid, mitzvos t'midios, mesiras nefesh, etc. Uh oh.
Recovery turns this around and we sail in the other direction, for real, not just on the outside... no more hypocrisy. (Failure and imperfection, yes... but not hypocrisy).

| Video #16 - Dumb Deer |
"When I would drive with my children, I would often point out interesting things along the side of the road to them. And often I'd be observing things to point out to them. We were driving at dusk, sort of twilight one night, and up ahead I saw a deer. And I was just about to say to my children look at that beautiful deer, when I saw the most astonishing thing. The deer kind of sat back and waited, and just at the right time it sprung out right in front of my van. Smash — I crashed into the deer. Baruch Hashem nobody was hurt. The deer fell off to the side of the road, and I said to myself dumb deer! What was it thinking?..."
