The Thang-

This work out was set up to represent my struggle with porn from the beggining of 3rd grade to the end of 12th when I got set free.

Had cones set up in a diamond, probably around 15 or so meters apart (Every lap representing 1 year)

At every cone we did burpees, increasing the number of burpees per lap EX. (lap 1, 1 burpee, lap 4, 4 burpee)

Part 1:

Did laps 1-3 (entering 3rd-5th grade) joging around the cones with burpees.

My struggle with porn was there, but it didn’t seem to be taking over anything nor did I know that it was wrong and was simply letting it grow in my life.

Part 2:

Did laps 4-7 (6th-9th grade) Duck walked first 2 laps with 4 and 5 burpees, Bear crawled last 2 laps with 6 and 7 burpees.

I learned that porn was wrong but rather then dealing with it due to shame, I chose to keep it a secret and hidden in the shadows of my life.

Part 3: lap 8 (10th grade) Joged around doing 4 burpees at each cone.

*when completed with lap, pax could take some of someone elses burpees*

I always thought when I got a girlfrined things would get figured out. At first things were easier but in reality, the only one who can truely take away your struggles is God. As time goes on the love eyes wore off and I fell back into my struggles with increased guilt and shame.

Part 4: Lap 9 (11th grade) Sprinted around doing 9 burpees at every cone.

The battle started to become very mental, I was able to put porn away for a while but my struggle with sexual immorality continued to grow and become worse. Everybody I reached out to would never check in and I truely felt alone and like there was no way out.

Part 5: Lap 10 (exiting 12th grade) Run around entire diamond, only burpees at the finish cone, first lap 10, second lap 12, third lap 18.

I continued through my enite senor year with my sturggles (at this point I struggled for 10 years just graduated 12th grade and was 18 years old). I tired running from it, hiding from it, and even just trying to walk it off but nothing worked. I truely hated it but it just felt locked into my life.

Part 6: jog 1 lap around, no burpees (Jesus on the cross took away our burpees, we just have to give them to him)

It wasnt until the summer after graduation( a little over 10 years or so of struggling) that I realized that if I am only going to give God the worst part of me to take away expecting him to fix it, he won’t. God wants and deserves our worst and our best. Once I gave him everything, he took my enitre life and flipped it on its head and I am so greatful for what he has done.

Pray for all the young men and older men who are keeping sexual immorality behind closed doors.

Thank you all so much for listening to my story and supporting me. I hope my testimony shows you that there is freedom from this virus that is taking over our world, but we can’t let it stay in the shadows.
