Reddit mentions of The Book of Signs: 31 Undeniable Prophecies of the Apocalypse

> Physical: Since joining the gym I've been hitting it Monday, Wednesday, Friday going up on the weights which is awesome. No losing weight.
>
> Diet has been lots of rice, chicken or beef, eggs, soups, peanut butters, dried fruits, trail mix, and jerky.

​

This is excellent. You're on the right track to build muscle, and eating as clean as you are it will be mostly muscle with very little fat.

​

>No porn, weed, cigarettes, fornication, or anything to note which is great progress from this time last year.

​

So it sounds like you've made huge progress here which is awesome! Great job, any tips to share with others who may be struggling in these areas? Did you go cold turkey or did you gradually remove these things from your life?

​

>No girlfriend to note and the young lady I talk to is in Trinidad so there's no way to go to far phycsically with her

​

Ok, I thought you lived nearby. She's not thousands of miles away is she? (I'm not asking your to doxx yourself obviously)

​

>It's been trial by fire to control my sexual desires.

​

Did you see this post? There's some great helpful advice in the comments on controlling sexual desires.

​

>So I have been telling you about the girl from Trini that I like. Well for context, I've wanted a large family of about 5 or 6 for years now. She also wants the same thing. Sometimes I get ahead of myself and start saying things like imma put a baby in you. Imma marry you and just very aggressive language. She responds very well to this but here's the back draw.

​

Ha, slow your roll Rambo.

​

>Last night before I called her I thought it would be wise to get counsel from my minister. So I did. needless to say I was advised to slow my role, meet her parents, just hang out and get to know each other because after you're married is too late to get to know each other.

​

This is wise advice.

​

>I call her we chat about the regular stuff I ask about her day she loves to hear me talk about mine and we do that for about 20-45 minutes. next thing I hear is "talk to me" I was sarcastic and said clearly we haven't been talking for the last 45 minutes. she repeats and I say the same thing.

​

I think she wants you to ask more questions so she can talk. That's what most women really want is to talk while someone listens who is actually interested.

​

>I get no response and hear get to the point.

>I usually have a great attitude out of her but this was out of the blue for her so I say i like your other attitude better.

>I guess she wanted me to talk about marriage and family with her but I was trying to have fun. I mentioned something a few days ago about I had some ideas to run across her but I never did so I guess I was expected to go there but I honestly can't read minds so all I know is I'm dealing with an attitude and somethings up.

​

Nope, she wants to know that you "get it." Ask more questions, let her talk more.

​

>I do struggle with living up to my father's expectation. I'm advised to look for a younger girl that's pretty and lives close by but I only have girls in my church that aren't so young or close by and not always interested in me so I do struggle with his expectations of me.

​

No matter what his "expectations" are, every father wants a son he can look at and be proud of. Focus on making your heavenly Father proud first and your earthly father will no doubt be proud of you as well.

​

>I have mastered AA. No to AM and NI. No to STFU and yes to DNGAF i think i have too much DNGAF so please advise if there is such a thing. I think I pass fitness tests and fail comfort tests. I've gotta brush up on those again.

​

Too much DNGAF is when you just don't care. If that was the case, you wouldn't be asking so don't worry about it. Just keep working on the rest and you'll get there. This stuff takes time and practice.

​

>The only place I feel pressure to act from is in God's way. I work in a hospital and am literally surrounded by TONS of attractive women some who are really receptive and flirty with me so it's extremely hard to control my desires. I haven't done much flirting talking to them but my mind still wonders and I literally imagine myself banging them from the back until I can catch myself and tell myself no and to focus and try to build something with this girl in trini with the same religious and family beliefs as me.

​

Why limit yourself? Why not date some local women and see if any of them are good candidates for marriage? Oneitis prevents you from having abundance mentality.

​

>My mission isn't solidified but I got a post from last week's OYS to look at I started but I've gotta do the work in the post. my mission does extend beyond the home and My pastor is discipling me. I'm not discipling anyone else as of yet.

​

Start with writing a basic Vision statement and develop it from there.

>Haven't talked to any of my non christian friends about God but I think now is a great time to start.

​

Watch those videos I shared with you and learn the basics of sharing the Gospel biblically, otherwise you will end up with something that looks like "Hey, God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life" which isn't biblical.

​

>And I could use work on prophecy.

​

Check out The Book of Signs by Dr. David Jeremiah, he's solid.
