I am doing pretty well and got to see first hand some of the hashgacha pratis that I have read about on this site. It happened two days ago.

I told myself that I didn't really want to, and it is true that I didn't feel nearly as much excitement or as willing as I used to, but I was acting out of habit more than real desire. Anyway, I was just about to click on the link to enter the site and the screen disappeared - and I lost all internet for the rest of the night.

It was an amazing feeling of relief that even as I was about to turn my back on all my good intentions, Hashem was watching and pulled the poison away from me. It made me realize that it is not just me against the Yetzer Hara, but that HKB"H is helping me become what I am supposed to be.

With love to all you Holy warriors.
