i'm sitting at home. i'm not really happy about that. i can't afford to go to church cuz gas costs so much, and we're broke and need to be very conservative with where we drive. driving to church will eat up the gas. i put 15$ in my tank yesterday and didn't even get a half tank! argh! i'd really like to start goin on a regular basis and i feel guilty about not going more than i do.
anyway i was doing some reading of various scriptures based on a study on ways to fight temptation. and all the scriptures point to Jesus. and i understand that He is the One to follow, our example. but a question i've had is how do you do that? how do you get there? how do you give yourself fully?? how do u trust Him in all you do?? is it always a struggle? sometimes i feel the weight of "trying". actually i feel that weight often. the spiritual battle wears on me.
i believe i'm growing and i believe i'll mature even more. just the fact that i'm asking these questions and that i want to do better in this relationship. but i guess it's like that cd, or book or something that you ordered, you're excited about it and you're waiting for it to get delivered. you know it'll be there soon, but you want it now. i understand that it can take time, but it gets frustrating.
the funny thing is i can talk to kim and she will ask a question about a certain subject and i can come up with a biblical answer. i can use examples from the bible to show how God dealt with something or what He says about different topics but i have the hardest time applying it that way in my own walk.

I've been there too, however every time, worry sets in..I remember this "Fear knocked on the door, faith answered, and no one was there."
I used to try to be like Jesus in everything, until I let go and let Him help me be like Him. It worked. Now i am trying to worry, but somehow some verse or the other comes and shoos it all away. I don't know how it exactly works, but it does. I guess we should attack fears with the Word of God. Thats what Jesus did when satan came to tempt Him.
God Bless.
thanks, i realize that knowing scripture will help. even though sometimes my sinful nature wants to rebel and find ways around the scripture. that was one reason i started memorizing scripture. i'm just glad that God is faithful and just to forgive if we confess our sins to Him. i also know that prayer and meditating on Him will help also. i just hate my sin...and that's a good thing.
