Battlefield of the mind

Oh how the mind wanders! Can we really learn how to control it? We are people that do not like to have self control but yet it's required of us as christians. We hear so much about bad stuff happening in the world and I have to wonder why people choose to be tormented by evil thoughts. Why doesn't the world want peace? Why does the world think it's so easy to just give into satan? Why are we such weak people? When we give our lives to Christ we inherit His strength, yet most of us do not activate that strength. So as christians we should not be weak people.

The things that satan puts in front of us really isn't that exciting. When we take a step back and look at the whole picture we can see the flaws in his plans. Yet we choose to only see what we want to see.

We have so many choices that we have to make each and every day. Our whole life really consists of making decisions yet there are so many that don't know how to make them. One of things that a parent has to do is teach our children that decision making is an every day thing. Robby is really struggling with making decisions, he has so many options coming at him at once. Keeping the information straight in our minds is a challenge for all of us no matter what our age is. He's collecting information about colleges (mom and dad would like to see him go to a christian college), making up school work that he choose not to do, and having a relationship with a young girl from Tiffin. Many life changing elements are coming at him, yet I see that he is fighting God. Why?? Oh bubba if you only knew how much simplier your life would be if you would just quit fighting! Decisions would not only be left up to you, you would have someone there to help you who knows your end from your beginning. We have had several bad arguements over last couple of weeks and he's constantly telling me that he's not ready to follow God. My position as a mother says that's hogwash! It's just a matter of dening ourselves to follow Him and that's what Robby is fighting, not wanting to deny himself.

So here's to all the kids out there, IF YOU TRUELY WANT A LIFE, QUIT FIGHTING GOD AND JUST GO WITH THE JESUS FLOW~~~~
