I'm not going to introduce my thoughts or subject matter, I plan to just jump right in. So keep up, if at all possible.
Ok, so I was reading Ephesians the other day. It was yesterday. Anyway, I read a part where it's stated that Christ is there to reconsile and bring two peices into a whole. I need to look back at it, but it seemed to speak to me a little. I know we are asked to die to ourselves, and to be risen up again in new life, through Jesus, to be a partaker in God's great gift for us...but are we called to completely lose our old selves, or to simply lose the sinful nature of our lives previous?
It seems to be the latter as opposed to the former. There are parts of my nature, for one, that I try to fight. Sometimes it's that I'm a night person and not a morning person. No matter how hard I've tried, I just can't stick to a morning schedule. I just enjoy the night-life so much more. I think this is not a problem if I use Christ to meld this aspect of myself with the new aspects of my life. I'm by no means perfect, but I am learning so much.
I'll probably write a lot in a short period of time, but that's me getting used to this new blog-o-bloggy.
Now testing ctrl+P!!

Think about when Jesus prayed. He got up early in the morning before others but He also stayed up late through the night---even while others slept!!!
