tempting

love, i wasnt going to write you about this.

but then i thought that i needed to be completely honest with you, and i want you to know some of the things that i am going through.

love, the evil one knows our weaknesses, and that is where he attacks.

he knows that i long to be in a relationship. that i love being with someone. that i crave that companionship.

and he constantly throws that temptation up in my face.

maybe God is allowing him to tempt me to test the strength of my convictions.

the temptation comes from many different sides.

there is a girl in one of my classes named jennifer. she's very attractive and seems to be quite intelligent.

i have only spoken to her a couple of times, and i know very little about her. i dont even know if she is a christian or not. physically, though, she's just my type.

thats all it is though. physical. which is the absolute last thing that a relationship should be built on.

i wrote this last night in class.

vance thinks that im being rude by writing this to you, but i want to be totally honest with you about everything.

especially about the things that i am struggling with.

i will overcome the temptation. i will wait for you.

the One that is in me is greater than one that is in the world.

He didnt say that it would be easy though, did he?
