Let’s have a chat about temptation 🎀

Hey guys this week I have a very vulnerable topic to speak about my last post. I talked about my transparency on staying true with-my walk with Christ. So today I have a whole new topic that I am struggling with this week is temptation. It is very hard for me sometimes to not be tempted as a woman who goes through very intense emotional periods of my life. I sometimes feel like it would be better if I or a vegetable or, a tree or anything else other than a human… I am in a serious relationship that I have been in for three years. We are not married yet and I have no clue when that is (God’s due time). Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to resist when we are both on our abstinent journey together, and he supports that, but when things get heated it’s hard for me to go through with anything further than just kissing and touching and stuff and even that I’ll have a hard time dealing with what I just did very good resisting, but like I said it’s ovulation week and I would rather be anything else than me right now I think the lesson and all this is that when I felt that pretended like it was no big deal and I would just go about my day. I had to fall on my knees and ask for forgiveness and strength so I won’t do it again. I asked God for super strength during this time… so if you find yourself deep deep in the water pray to him to give you strength and forgiveness He loves us so much to let us go 💕

... Read moreTemptation is a common struggle faced by many individuals, especially in romantic relationships. It’s essential to understand that feelings of temptation do not reflect a lack of love or commitment. Instead, they are part of the human experience, influenced by emotional cycles and circumstances. During periods of heightened emotions, such as ovulation, individuals may feel more susceptible to temptation. The key lies in open communication with one's partner about boundaries and desires. Practicing mindfulness can also help in recognizing triggers for temptation, allowing for proactive strategies to manage those feelings. Engaging in spiritual practices, such as prayer or meditation, can provide strength and clarity in moments of weakness. It's crucial to foster a supportive environment where both partners can express their feelings without judgment. Additionally, seeking guidance from spiritual mentors or counseling can be beneficial in navigating the complexities of temptation. Remember, overcoming temptation is not about the absence of desire but rather choosing to honor oneself and one’s relationship. With patience, understanding, and faith, individuals can emerge stronger from their struggles with temptation.

Let me elaborate: Sweet Temptation
⭐️Overall rating: 3/5 This prequel was great. It was short, simple, sweet. It gave just enough umph to make the reader want more. I feel like there could've been more added to the novel but It was just enough for me to want to pick up the next book.
