Fasting is definitely getting easier, every time I feel tempted to eat or smoke I pay and read the bible I'm halfway finishef with mark now. Its also nice to have christian friends who are serious about their relation ship with God. Work is better, not easier but better :) talked to steven last night, I really want to be there to help him find the truth in God's word, not just the parts he likes to skip over. I love my friends and want them to try and live by God's law, not just some of them.
My journey has been a long one. I've made mistakes and done my share of petty crimes against my fellow man and God. Now all of that is over, I'm trying to be a new man, one I can be proud of.
The True Story
This is Brian's story. The truth, the REAL truth of who I am, and what I've done, and most importantly who I want to be.

Skin Journal
I am thinking of starting a skin Journal so that I can record all of my cleansing habits for my face.I want to make sure I am following correct procedures for effectively treating my acne and scars. in my journal I will record when I wash my face, what i use to wash my face and how vigorously I rub my skin. i will also record if and when i use skin toners, and special medicated lotions. I will make sure that before and after each washing I record how my skin looks and feels. I recently bought a clean and clear kit from Walgreens, the kit is good for 30 days. After 30 days of successfully using the kit and journal I should be able to tell if my skin has improved or not. I will also make sure to devote a certain hour every day to learn more about my acne and skin conditions.

honesty and such
After I woke up I went downstairs and have breakfast then I went outside to see if my mom needed help in the garden. She asked me to help her cut down a few roots in the front yard, and after that
she wanted me to move the stones around the flower bed. I forgot the last party of her instruction and went back inside to have a glass of wine and finish watching some show on animal planet...what was the name of it.... River monsters, yeah of think that's it. Anyway my mom walks in and starts cussing and saying I need to get up and help her outside. I honestly did forgeth the second thing she said about the stones, but the way she came at me was completely rude. I decided to write her a note letting her know how I felt and that I didn't allow anyone to curse at me anymore. After I gave her the note we had a very honest conversation about expectations for the both ofus. It was a very good thing and up really feel that by telling honestly how I felt without attacking or accusing it really turned out to be a good thing for our relationship.
