I'M FEELING = INDECISIVE & FOMO
WHY = Ultima flavor panic indecision.
Cherry sadly made me sick so I had to return it.
Decided to try Blueberry again instead of waiting another week for Raspberry because that's the "safe flavor." I want to be more free.
But I feel like God is disappointed in me & angry with me now. "I told you to wait." But did He?
I'm so scared. Did I break the 1st Commandment?

Thank You God!! (And Saint Stanislaus!)
Problem is it made us TERRIBLY SICK.

In the meantime, it's a REAL CROSS to carry with blessed gratitude! This is a path to greater holiness!

I'M FEELING = SCARED & CONTEMPT
WHY = Allegedly "Jesus" telling me not to have extra broccoli or olive oil with dinner although I would like to for calories/ palatability. Added a few drops at ""Mary's"" intervention = ""MORTAL SIN DISOBEDIENCE"" = self hatred & drive to destroy / punish.
THAT STUFF IS NOT OF GOD.
But there's no "right answer."
Is there?
I'm so scared I'm going to be punished severely for this.
But i CANNOT purge. I HAVE to commit to suffer AS A CHRISTIAN in warfare against OBVIOUS sin.
