Was reading in Romans 8.1ff-focused on the phrase-"those in the flesh cannot please God". I was thinking how often is my life simply pleasing to God? I want it to be, I truly do. How do we please God? Is He hard to please?- I dont think so. I believe that the main thing God wants is my heart. I hurt when I let my heart stray from what is on His heart. Romans 8 is all about the Spirit vs the flesh. These are at war with each other. Is it difficult to NOT live in the flesh? Yes it is, it takes a daily taking up of the bloody cross. But I would say life is HARDER when we live in the flesh. Flesh living seems real appealing but don't ever fall for it. Walk in the Spirit and then we can live for Kingdom purposes.
I saw an article the other day on a lady who is a reformed drug addict. At the end of the article, she said a profound statement. She said "when you play in garbage you will stink"
STAY OUT OF GARBAGE, YOU WILL SMELL SO MUCH BETTER!
About Me

- What you see is what you get with me. I love life. I am a huge sports fan and would like to actually work in sports someday. I was raised in Nicholasville, Ky a good place to grow up. I had the wonderful opportunity to study at Asbury College in Wilmore Ky and would not trade it for anything. I have 41 hrs toward my Master of Divinity but now work out in the rough and tumble world of trucking. I have done various types of work in my life. Everything from being in the US Army to waiting tables to driving a motorcoach. Ive truly been blessed and want to be a blessing. This blog is just me sharing life with you. I don't have everything figured out. I've had lots of unique life experiences and thank you for allowing me to share them with you.
