..Oh those glorious cravings...

So I've been working like a dog. Every night this past week except for Tuesday I've been working. I haven't had time for anything, and I've been cut back on my Jesus time. But what I haven't cut back on is those horrid cravings, every single day of my life, I think to myself at least twice "O man it would be so nice to have a smoke right now.." Especially during work, because whenever I was stressed or I did something time consuming and draining I'd reward/relax myself with a ciggarette. Heck one day I was even thinking a real cold beer for after work would be sooo good... and personally I think beer tastes like cow urine. Except for Rickards Red.... that tastes moderatly better. but still like urine, ew. And hey lets face it, these cravings are ridiculious, because in reality, all I need is Jesus. He doesn't make me sick, He doesn't cost me money, and He is the ultimate satisfaction. So, Jesus helped me quit smoking and drinking. So I figure, part of quitting is giving up the cravings aswell. So, I've decided that everytime a little stupid cravings come along I'm going to take it, rebuke it, and ask for a craving and a desperation for what I really need, and that, would be Jesus. So since I still don't have any accountability here at home, I'm asking for you guys who agreed to do this over email and jazz to try and hold me accountable. Because I believe part of being like Jesus is craving nothing but the Father.. and I want to be like Jesus.. so this is something I have to grow in... word. thanks.
love,

Hey there cutie!

That's SOOOOO true (and I amen the beer tasting like cows urine comment). But it's so funny how sneaky cravings can be. Like even if the craving isn't acutally bad for you (like chocolate or coffee)...Even any GOOD thing that replaces Jesus. Because we all know how good coffee is for you....ahem...yum...
You rock!

I just laugh and yell "you are so awesome," outloud when I read your blogs. Just so you know, ppl in dorm can hear me yelling, laughing and generally talking to myself, but I really don't care. I just watch you in action and marvel at the Power of God in your life. It's good ol' Man Upstairs who's at the bottom of all these inspired ideas of yours. He's made you wise beyond your years, destined to grow to maturity faster than most ppl your age, and well, let's just say you really get how this accountability thing works. Well, done Lizer. You have a heart that beats for God. He is pleased with you. He has control of you. Yah, it's pretty much really grawesome (great + awesome.)
Keep the honesty coming,
