virgin blogger

so. this is...my first blog. on blogspot.com, at least. its rather intriguing, really. yesterday was christmas eve, and now its christmas morning. it doesnt feel like christmas...at ALL. its very odd, and i dont like it. joe brooks is playing in the background of this hazy morning, and there's no snow outside. boo. i read the message for awhile after i woke up, and i'm hoping to carry what i've read throughout the day with me..(unlike yesterday's outcome)...

to live in the freedom of God is what I desire.

"Offer yourselves to sin, for instance, and its your LAST free act. But offer yourselves to the ways of God and the freedom NEVER quits. All your lives you've let sin tell you what to do. but THANK GOD you've started listening to a new master, one whose commands set you free to live openly in HIS freedom!

...But now that you've found you don't have to listen to sin tell you what to do, and have discovered the delight of listening to God telling you, what a surprise! A whole, healed, put together life right now, with more and more of life on the way! Work hard for sin your whole life and your pension is DEATH. But God's gift is REAL life, eternal life, delivered by Jesus, our Master."

...whew.

that's quite a lot right there to let sink in.

FREEDOM is available. 

the question is, can i get over my mountain of pride to receive it? 

i have to, i have no choice.

Lord, I pray for your strength, a softened heart, and a heavenly mindset today.
