thank Hashem my shabbos was beautiful.im now approaching the end of day 9.but i shouldnt get too comfortable,saturday night theres an extra song pull always for me.i spent shabbos in yerushalayim and on my way to the kosel friday night i accidentaly(i promise) walked by the edge of town.so many drunk guys and girls.i was shocked!i had no idea friday night was so packed.i was alittle turned on by the good looking half dressed girls,but it was way overpowered by my shock and sadness.i was overcome with emotion(this does not happen to me often).when i got to the kosel i started crying.i couldnt help myself.theres so much tumah in the world in the holiest city and im part of it.and theres so many young yidden who dont know the joy and kedusha of shabbos.but anyway,back to me.i was hoping subconciously that i would run into a girl i knew in the old city but thank G-d i didnt run into her.G-d knows my obstacles.He guards me well.
when i drove home tonight i passed town again(only way to go really) and i felt such mixed feelings.i saw teens with no inhibitions just feeding off lust.i felt angry that they could fill their needs while i sit and struggle to keep myself in check.they look so happy,while i feel so discontent.what happened to the happiness Judiasm is said to offer??thats what many rebbeim say at least.
2 peices of advice i read somewhere on this site helped me have a much better shabbos. 1)no matter what werer able to give,give it.it gives Hashem tremendous nachas ruach. 2)cry to hashem whenever.plead for mercy.spill your heart out always.Hashem desires the heart.
but then again,arent those 2 one and the same?
