My notes of two years ago:
Self control has always been an issue. I think I was too busy surviving my Vietnam childhood to learn some things.
Also I think I made a few vows that went something like:
when I grow up nobody’s going to boss me around
You guys: Those choices, though made unaware and in the bosom of my childhood, created a monster.
I was talkin to my brother about about the verse where Jesus set his face like a flint and and headed to Jerusalem and the cross.
We were trying to figure out which fruit of the spirit that illustrates..
Self control.
And I’ve decided,
I’m just going to pray about it because I have tried really hard to be good for years and years and haven’t made a whole lot of progress in this area.
So I’m ready to ask God for help
I’ll let you know how it works out.
