Seth's progress

I just finished the 1st part of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. I'm pretty sure it's slightly above my reading level, but I'm enjoying it so far. I don't know where I see myself in the book just yet, but I have been deeply moved many times through the course of my reading. Unfortunately I guess my strongest personal identification has been with the negative characters of the book like Ignorance and Temporary. I'm feel like I'm slowly slipping from a growing desire for God into a growing desire for worldly things. I am definitely lacking in fellowship, personal time with God, self-control and purity. I need help! Two weeks ago I was praying and desiring for a consistent walk and bed time - that lasted about a day and a half. I guess I get to start over again tomorrow. (Lam 3:23, Lk 14:33).
