11.9.08 p.m.

tonight at the stirring we talked about the porn-addicted elephant. . . and really all that porn has done to us as a country. rocked me. to the core. my past comes back and haunts me every once in a while. and my self-worth, my self-image take the blow. my past that told me i had to be a certain way. my past that told me this is all your worth.

not in our house.

God kept giving me words all through the night.
restoration.
healing.
beautiful.
Mine.
cherished.
worth it.
women...........you ARE beautiful. you ARE worth more than this world says you are. you ARE enough----just the way you are------in every way. you don't have to live up to any man's fantasy. you don't have look like the women on tv and in the magazines. you just don't.

not in our house.
i wish i could put into words what's on my heart right now... i just can't get it out.
but girls... guys... talk to me. talk to someone. we're not meant to carry this burden. i can't get "how He loves" out of my head right now... "He is jealous for me..........."

isn't that enough?

its s crazy to me that there are so many couples who think that porn is a good thing when watched together. it's really unbelievable. it will do nothing but tear that marriage apart! there is a huge swinger population in pdx and it is so real and so sad.
