When we consider God's plan and purpose for our family, I often have to remind myself: Is this my wish list or is it God's?
If we are struggling to keep up with the ...you name it ...anybody, we are struggling in vain.
As long as we are in this flesh, we keep having all these weaknesses. I almost feel like, I am in war with my flesh. It becomes a constant struggle between my spirit and my flesh... I am so thankful to Paul who wrote in Romans that we should walk in the spirit and not in the flesh. But how do we do it ? I am still learning . I am finding that through prayer without ceasing, devotions
and meditating in His word the Lord helps all of us to walk in the spirit. I guess it is a constant awareness that we are really spirits and these bodies are just a mere evidence of ourselves on this earth. And thereby letting our spirit win this war, is really the victory and, its O.K if our flesh looses eventhough it does not feel very good , because its just a temporary feeling..
Speak, Lord I am your servant
and I am listening .

This is something that I've realized too. It's a war we'll have until that beautiful day when we are changed in a twinkling of an eye. :) I'm looking forward to it!
