Will I or Won't I

Today I was feeling "hemmed in"
I longed for freedom and no constraints.
My service to Mom felt like a noose around my neck. (I'm sorry if that offends)

I wanted to attend my Bible Study (that's not bad right?)  I wanted to be free of someone constantly calling my name to ask where I was, what I was doing.
 I wanted a "grown up" conversation.

Harmless.             ?

I felt the prompting of the Lord.
I began to read His Word.

I came across  Romans 15:5-6

5 Now may the God Who gives the power of patient endurance (steadfastness) and Who supplies encouragement, grant you to live in such mutual harmony and such full sympathy with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,

          6 SO THAT  you may unanimously and  with united hearts and one voice, praise and glorify the God             and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ .

United hearts,  One voice?   

Ah yes

I needed to silence the voices in my flesh ...

I needed to submit my divided heart and simply

HEED THE SCRIPTURE.

How difficult is that?   Well after I've "done away" with my flesh it's not so hard
 but killing that old man sometimes seems to be a real chore especially if my Sword is dull.  :)

I'm better because His Word is alive and creative.  It is doing It's work in me and I will remain on the "wheel" until I'm finished
