The Journey to Freedom

Did we give up?

    Really? Only one post in the past year? Where in the world have we been? Have we given up proclaiming the hope of freedom from sexual addiction? 
   NOT AT ALL! 
   In fact, I’ve been doing a lot of writing this past year . . . just not here on the blog. For several years now, God has been nudging us to tell our story so that others might find hope and encouragement from our journey. So, after a long journey of its own, we are excited to report that the book is finally nearing completion.
   Pornography and other escalating sexual behaviors nearly destroyed my husband. After decades of failure, frustration and shame he was convinced that the only way out of his constant pain was to end his life. In a tiny excerpt from our book, Now Choose Life! Bruce describes the desperation he was feeling.

“I cringe when I hear people joke that sexual addiction would be the “fun” addiction to have, when I so vividly remember sitting in my living room trying to decide which of my guns I should put into my mouth, knowing full well that I was ready to pull the trigger. I didn’t want to live like this anymore and I was losing all hope of ever changing. I was exhausted, and I was becoming more and more accepting of the reality of death. If I just gave in and let it win, my struggle would be over and I could be at peace at last. I wouldn’t have to fight off the terrible, awful enveloping cloud of death any longer.”


    Thankfully, that was not the end for him. God had a better plan. 

     “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” — Proverbs 9:21 (NIV)
