- Day 3 — Silence Over Chaos“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10 Day 3. I have to stop looking at my mistakes with anger. I have to stop becoming hyper-focused on negativity — in myself, in others, in life. That negativity is the very thing that pushes me toward destruction. I seek relief from how IContinue reading “Day 3 — Silence Over Chaos”
- Day 2 — Removing the One-Time Mindset“In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.” — Isaiah 30:15 Day 2. I have to remove this erratic behavior — this “one time,” “just this once,” “just a little bit” mentality. That mindset is poison. It’s the doorway to temptation, the crack where the old self enters. I’m done giving into emotion, impulse,Continue reading “Day 2 — Removing the One-Time Mindset”
- Day 1 — Again“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” — Psalm 73:26 Day one again. I’ve failed again. Ten years of trying, and I still find myself trapped in the same cycle — temptation, surrender, regret, recovery. It’s exhausting. It’s heartbreaking.

I’m not proud of it, but I’m not running from it either. I’m looking at it honestly. Lately, I’ve been trying my best to stay off my phone. Not evenContinue reading “Day 4 — Even My Mind Was an Escape”
- Day 10 — For Those Who Loved Me“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4 Times like this remind me of the people who loved me — people who are no longer here. I think about them often. I don’t know if we’re truly meant to appreciate the moment when we’re in it, because now I seeContinue reading “Day 10 — For Those Who Loved Me”
- Day 9 — Returning to Honor“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” — Psalm 139:23-24 Today I need to be honest: I have been dishonest. I have lacked honor. I have spoken things in vain.

- Day 8 — One Mind, One Goal“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” — James 1:8 I started listening to a book about alcohol. I needed to, because my relationship with drinking isn’t good at all. Every time I drink, I run amok — I lose control, and I don’t like who I become. It’s like alcohol flipsContinue reading “Day 8 — One Mind, One Goal”
- Day 7 — The First Fruits“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 Day 7. Sometimes I realize that staying away from negative environments and bad habits brings these little bonuses — moments of clarity, small victories, unexpected peace. It’s likeContinue reading “Day 7 — The First Fruits”
- Day 6 — The Empty Hours“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” — Ephesians 5:15-16 Today I did deliveries.

- Day 5 — Facing the Roots“So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.” — Romans 7:21 Day 5. I went to school today. I did good — and that made me happy.
