Gut Voch everyone. shabbos went well and the last few days have gone well too. I feel like shemiras einayim while walking around has been going really well lately, with few second glances and even fewer first glances. the matisyahu concert thursday night went really well and i even got to daven maariv with him and beatbox for him, a true honor. other than that, i have little news. I davened shabbos maariv with the most kavanah that i've ever davened it with and that was really refreshing and i went to bed last night feeling strong.
i also had an interesting thought today. my family wasnt home (sisters graduation) and i was left alone, reading. then a thought came to me that i could go look at stuff on the computer and nobody would know. i then laughed at myself because i knew it was shabbos....and then i was thinking about how the situation compared to a weekday. i would normally try and combat this impure thought by just ignoring it. but now i realized that another way to fight these thoughts if they intensify is to think that doing so would be contrary to Hashem's will. obviously i couldnt use the computer on shabbos and Hashem made commandments concerning shabbos that are inviolable. so now i just need to make it obvious in my mind that Hashem also made commandments concerning sexuality and the likes and that engaging in such activities woul
d be violating my covenant with Him. plain and simple.
i guess easier said than done though

. although i guess its a good thought, how much has yiras shamayim done in the past? well hopefully this is something i can work on....
