Warring in my members

“So life is hard and no one understands why For the Lord, thy God, knows the path we must take as He carefully orchestrates us like the maestro of a symphony, and it is up to us which instrument we play- eternal life or damnatation.”
So I finished the book (Warring in my members ) that I was working on this weekend, it is a very short and simple book but it was also very deep and profound! This book cause me to think, made me want to cry, and reminded me that I am not the only one struggling with something.

The truth is there is a war going on in all of us! Well I defiantly know that I do, the me that I want to be is constantly in battle with the me that I am. I truly think that it is quite difficult being Christian at times because I don’t believe that it is natural. What comes naturally to us I believe are the things that Christianity frowns upon, the things that are instinctive. I believe that sexuality is natural; the need to be loved and belong is natural. Well maybe I am being to hard on Christianity because the truth is that it is not against things that are unnatural it is just all about timing, and I have a huge problem with timing!

Anyway, this book dealt with the wars that go on in the personal lives of three Christian young women. The secrets that they carry that they are not even able to disclose to their nearest and dearest friend because the truth is no matter how much they say they don’t your friends judge you and you judge the (just a lil). It reminded me that this walk is a personal one and no matter what relationships we have the decisions that we make are all about us. So at the end of the day even though we feel bad about some of the decisions we make, we still need to make a decision. When it is all over where do we want to end up?
