The Faithful One!
He is faithfulāeven when we falter. And that is why I call this the path of The Faithful One.

Eulogy
Today begins a new chapter, and as I step into this first day of the year, my heart feels the weight of everything Iāve walked through yesterday and the days before. Yesterday I wrote about endings and grace, and this builds on that confession, because today feels like a funeral for the old lifeāthe old thinking, the old temptations, the old shadows that once whispered lies into my spirit. PMO has always carried with it a trail of emptiness, guilt, shame, and spiritual numbness. It never rewarded, it only robbed. It warped perspective, strained prayer, and clouded joy. But today, I stand here emotionally honest and spiritually awake, knowing that I do not belong to that dead place anymore. I acknowledge the damage it caused, but I also acknowledge the freedom God has been leading me into, day by day.
This builds on the last reflection, because yesterday I rested in grace, and today I choose to walk in identity. The truth is, the journey away from PMO is not just a moral battleāit is a healing of the soul. It is reclaiming dignity, purity of thought, emotional stability, and spiritual clarity. It is remembering that my body is not driven by compulsion but surrendered to Christ. It is choosing peace over chaos, fulfillment over emptiness, and worship over self-destruction. And every step in this journey teaches me again that victory is not won in a single moment, but in a faithful surrender of moments.
In letting go of PMO, I am letting go of the guilt it breeds, the self-doubt it nourishes, and the heaviness it heaps upon the heart. I am letting go of the quiet spiritual erosion that slowly distances a man from Godās presence. Because when the heart is enslaved, faith becomes foggy; but when the heart is free, faith breathes again. And I can feel God calling me to live as a man with nothing to hide and nothing to bow to except His will. That invitation is not just discipline; it is love. Yesterday I wrote about grace carrying me; today I write about grace empowering me.
The beautiful thing is that not even thinking about PMO brings a freedom words barely describe. My mind feels clearer. My spirit feels steadier. My emotions feel less stormy. There is peace in knowing that I donāt have to live in secrecy, anxiety, or fear of falling back into the cycle. There is joy in understanding that God didnāt call me to merely survive temptationāHe called me to rise above it through Him. Every day without PMO is not just another streak; it is proof of God renewing my mind, teaching me discipline, and reminding me who I was meant to be before temptation tried to rewrite my story.
And in this process, I remind myself againātrust in the process, not the progress. God is not simply counting my streak; He is shaping my heart. He is building patience. He is deepening my dependence on Him. He is strengthening my will to say noānot out of fear, but out of love for something greater. Yesterday I wrote about finishing a year in grace; today begins a year of walking forward in faith, understanding that His work in me is ongoing, steady, and deeply intentional, even when I cannot fully see it.
This month will challenge me, but this month will also refine me. Today marks the beginning of stepping into a new future, and as I promised, I will only be writing here once a month. That feels strange⦠quieter⦠but also necessary. It forces me to live this journey instead of just talking about it. It calls me to maturity and stillness with God. It teaches me to trust Him in the spaces where I will not always be here processing everything in writing, but I will still be living it out in surrender.
And this builds on everything I previously wrote because it reminds me that growth requires courage. It takes courage to walk away from old habits. It takes courage to confront brokenness. It takes courage to say āI will not bow to this anymore.ā Yet God has not left me alone in that courage. He walks with me. He strengthens me. He quietly whispers, āKeep going. I am with you.ā And knowing that, I can step forward without fear of what may come.
There will be moments of temptation, there will be emotional lows, there will be days where the past tries to knock on the door again. But I hold onto hope. I believe my days with Christ ahead are far greater than any moment of weakness behind me. I believe that resilience is forming, faith is deepening, and identity is strengthening. And this journey has a milestone ahead that reminds me how purposeful this path truly is. On May 7th, I will reach 365 days of freedomāan entire year without PMOāand I will stand there not boasting in my strength, but in Godās faithfulness. That day will not simply mark time passed; it will represent healing gained, discipline forged, prayers answered, and a life reclaimed. It will stand as a monument of grace and a testimony that what once enslaved me no longer owns me. From there, I will continue forward, grateful and determined, trusting that the same God who carried me this far will keep leading me onward.
And to the Rewire Communityāthank you.
Thank you for being a place of honesty, vulnerability, faith, and strength. Thank you for reminding me and so many others that we are not alone in this battle. This community has become a space where men and women gather not out of pride, but out of courageāthe courage to heal, to rise, to fight for something better. Your testimonies, your struggles, your victories, and even your silent perseverance inspire me. We lift one another when days get heavy, we celebrate when freedom grows, and we stand together when temptation presses hard. May God bless every heart here, every journey here, and every person who refuses to give up. We walk forwardātogether, supported, encouraged, and strengthened in faith.
So as I close this eulogy to the old life, I say goodbye to what once enslaved me. Goodbye to guilt. Goodbye to shame. Goodbye to the false comfort that never truly comforted. I step forward into faith, freedom, and a Christ-centered future. Today is different. Today matters. Today is sacred.
Thank you for reading this long eulogy. Thank you and God bless. See you next month.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for new beginnings, for strength to walk away from what once bound me, and for grace to live differently. Keep my heart faithful, my spirit anchored in You, and my steps steady in Your truth. Amen.
