Why do I keep having this Battle with the Bottle.? its really very simple. GOD created each one of us with a
Hole in our Sole. I Personally have chosen to fill my Hole in my Soul with the LORD. I know HE occupies that
place in my Heart. one thing that I have not fully understood in the past is I need to keep seeking HIM.
Each Day. I need to seek HIM and keep HIM in my Heart. If I dont continue to seek HIM each day. I'm in Danger
of returning to one of my old watering holes to fill that Hole in my Soul. that is what I did yesterday.
I was Thirsting for The LORD. and Drank from the Wrong Bottle. I live alone. I have a big 2 Bedroom house. very nice
but I live somewhat like a Hermit in this house. its very exspensive to Heat during the winter and right now we are just
beginning winter here. and I work a full time Job. so I'm not home all the time. usually just in the evenings.
it may sound very strange to most people. but I have turned the back bedroom into sort of a Den. or office as I like to
think of it sometimes. Basically I live (Here) in the very back bedroom of this house. I have my Bed back there. my Big
oak Desk and several Computers. and I have discovered that if I leave a few of the computers on all the time. it will
keep my Office very warm and cozy. The rest of the house including the Kithen is like 55 Degrees right now. so I dont hang
out much in the rest of the house because it is so cold. But Im very compfortable with the way I live. It works very good
for me. and Low Heating Bill. Each morning before I leave for work. I stop at the Door before I go out. And I pray. And just talk to the LORD.
and I ask HIM each day. to please come to work with me. And HE does just that. HE comes right along to work with me. And
I have a really good day at work. Its Great. I just dont let People and things at work get to me. GOD gets me through
the day there. Not only gets me through the day. but at work I have Joy and Happyness on the Job. I really Honestly do
most each day there at work. A few months ago. that was not true at all. A few months ago I would have Busted out laughing
to be reading what I'm writing here this morning. Joy at work would not be possible for me with out the LORD in my Heart.
JESUS CHRIST Living through me. My work place. Its a good place to work. But there are a lot of Problems there.
Its a real mess most each day there. A real Bummer. Problems that could be fixed very easily. But continue to be Ignored
by the Management. If the LORD didnt got to work with me each day. I just could NOT do it anymore. I'am so thankfull and
Blessed that HE wants to go to work with me each day. It truly makes my day a JOY. Many of my co-workers are a real mess.
they just dont know the Joy and happyness that I have in my Heart. simply Because they don't let GOD fill that Hole in
our soul. I Pray that they will all find the happyness that I have found.
And at the end of the day I come home. And once agine thank the LORD for giving me such a Joyfull day at work. then I spend
some time listening to Pastor Jon Teach Then make my self a nice dinner
in my freezing cold Kitchen. Then I spend a little time before bed reading the Bible. I'm Presently starting the book of
Joshua. and that is it for my work week. Its very easy to not want to drink during my work week. However come friday night.
Its very difficult for me to not want to say. "Well I've been good all week. Studying the word. talking to GOD. I deserve
to have a few Beers tonight." That is my Struggle each weekend. That is something I have to NOT do. Because sooner or later
I will be agine Drinking each night after work. And agine it will lead to my slowly walking away from the LORD. If I want to
Drink or Sin. GOD will say. " go ahead Dan. if you want to. but I will cost you." And I know it will cost me. Sin, no matter
what it is allways has a Price.
