The Spiritual Combat

The Spiritual Combat is the book im currently reading. I bought it outside of Guasti church in ontario. God's been bringing things of this nature to my attention lately. As soon as I opened it, its like it was written for me.Im sure some of you have read simular books, Im highliting more than is left un highlited. Ive always looked at spiritual combat as something we do more outwardly by our actions and act's against evil, but this book talks about our inner battle to master self, to realy die, to our flesh and submit to the will of God in our lives. Just as one of my favorite priests Father Marx said the sunday I bought this book "The spirit is willing but the flesh is week" and as I get further into this book I realize how many moments I have done the good act but my heart wasnt really in it. Just this sunday I was asked to scoot over in church by an usher and I reluctantly did just as I was whining to myself a nun sat beside me who has given herself her whole life to the Lord. I felt so ugly inside its needless to say I have started my battle within myself my battle with self disipline as ive previously written, and my battle to be a servant of the Lord.
Here is a link my mom found where you can read the book online I hope you check it out.

also here are a couple of scriptures that caught my eye.

None shall be crowned who has not faught well. -2 tim 2:5

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to God unto the pulling down of fortifications, distroying counsels, and every height that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ." -2 corinthians 10 :3-5

self disipline

Ive been changing my eating habbits lately and practicing some self disipline and of corse I found some inspiration on the way.!!!

Love and respect

There are alot of great lessons in the bible, and alot ring true to my heart, but lately Ive been foccusing on Jesus's comandment to love our neighbors. For myself thats easier said han done. What I mean is... its easy for me to love those who are good to me, but sometimes I forget about those who are not, like the nagging neighbor or the tyrant boss, and as ive been learning, I find myself now trying to respect them first as children of God and understand that we are all human and are not perfect, and I know love will shortly follow. I wanted to share this verse that caused me to think this way its from a book called Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and of coarse the bible.


"Suppose you love those who love you. Should anyone praise you for that? Even 'sinners' love those who love them" (Luke 6:32)

thank you for leting my share.

Wow goosebumps

Who will you feed?

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me in life. " he said to the boy. "It is a terrrible fight and it is between two wolves." One is evil, he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,lies, false pride, superioriy and ego." He continued, "One is good, he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you-and inside every other person too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
