so what happens next
I am being totally torn apart by the battle that rages within me. Something's gotta give and I honestly don't know which side will win or which side I want to win. No, that's not true I know what side I want to win, usually anyway. I sat in church last week and at times felt cold and dead, other times connected and engaged but mostly I devastated with nowhere to turn. I felt totally fatherless, totally alone which led to bitterness and anger. I refused to leave the final service until I worked through the bitterness. Wise move. But during those times the anger was scary. It seemed like others were experiencing something that I was left out of. I felt that God has turned away from me, when I know in reality it is me that took the steps away. All kinds of bizarre emotions flowed through me, at one point I thought that because of all that I have done God can't forgive and that I should be punished. For a brief moment I thought of hurting myself - cutting came to mind. That totally freaked me out. Every day I hurt myself in other ways, bad eating, no exercise, total disregard for my health so no need to add some other stupid act. But the overwhelming realization is that I will die without Jesus Christ in my life. My desires/appetites are so base, so destructive so dangerous that if I give in it will be the end, maybe not fact but it will come. The problem I have no clue what to do with that...
