I'm back!!!!!, and my thoughts for the past 2 weeks....

Oh!!! This week has been somthing......my computer caught a virus, and had to had it fixed, yet again......I don't know if I like having to add another to my plate or not......But, hopefully, I can keep it together enough, to keep posting.......Gardening time, sewing time....... to get ready for summer...........
My thoughts this week have been.....
Is being a Christian too hard or not? It depends on what "too hard" is for one....Too hard is trying to do "it" on our own, and trying to get "it" together on our own...when we do "it" on our own, we wont be able to succeed, we will be frustrated and unhappy...but, When we allow the God of the universe and hopefully our hearts, to do "it" through us, then, we wont be frustrated or unhappy. It somehow seems to do "it" on our own comes sooooo naturally...so easy, but, not what the Scriptures say......How to do "it" and allow God to work through us, well, I cannot say, all I know is, we need to be on our knees more and on our feet less to try "it" on our own....
Allowing God to truly be the God of our lives, is tough, our human nature is to always figure "it" out on our own and work "it" out on our own...?
I AM NOT saying, self control is not in the picture, that is on our own, and that REALLY does need to be from our minds, but, to figure "it" all out with our own minds, well,.....from experience does not work. If we but, just pray and pray and pray some more, then leave it to Him....."IT" will be what He sees best....The things of the Spirit are so hard to explain....
God expects us to use self control with our mouths, actions, finances, all those, but, to work out what His part is.....that puts a question in my mind....
Just my thoughts for this past 2 weeks....
Love to all who read....
