Hello! I am 54 and married for 29 years to my lovely wife. We have on child, a son who is 28 and married. I grew up in church with a mother and father who has been a christian's for almost as long as I can remember. They are a big reason why I am back under the grace of our Lord and Saviour. I spent amost my whole life in sin and for a time thought I would die that way. Part of my walk with Jesus is confessing my sins when I have the opportunity. I was addicted to pornography for most of my adult life. It ruled me from the age of 10 years old until I fell broken in spirit before my Heavenly Father a few months ago. Pornography for the most part ruined my life to the utmost. Towards the end I was even suicidal. I could go into details of what my life was like but they really isn't any point to that because God has lifted me up out of that miray pit and put my feet on a solid rock. I am just finishing up a program with settingcaptivesfree that has really been a huge help in my broking free from the bondage that pornography had held me to for so many, many years. Part of becoming free from this dreaded addiction was confessing my sins to the people I loved the most. I have been back in church for the past ten years but my struggle with porn kept me up and down for most of that time period. I wanted God but I wanted the world also. I have confessed my sins to my pastor, my wife, my family, my friends, accountability group and I will have to stand before my congregation and confess it to them. God has been with me each time I have confessed my sins and given me the words to say. I want all the quilt and shame released from my heart. I praise God that He gave His Son to die on that old rugged cross to cover our sins with that precious blood. I want to do everything I can for the kingdom of God. There are still battles to be won and with God's grace all those battles will be won. My goal in life now, is to serve God with everthing I can give to Him. Be humlbe and odedient before Him. To help other men and women with the problem of pornography to be victorious over it. I just have to praise God that He did not give up on me. Sometimes I wonder why, but He has a purpose for the rest of my life. Here I am Lord, ready to do your will, whereever it leads me I will go!!!!!!
