“Rom 7:19 For I do not do the good that I desire; but the evil which I do not will, that I do.”

I’ve been feeling like this for some time now, and somehow i kinda feel a spiritual low at the moment. I tend to waist my time on stupid things, with no value, when i should do something useful. The other day i was watching TV, not really enjoying it, and though to myself that I should go read something in the bible instead. However hours later i was still sitting there thinking the same thing.

It’s a strange feeling, wanting to do something, jet somehow, not be able too.

So, this text comforts me :)

Rom 7:14  For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Rom 7:15  For that which I do, I know not. For what I desire, that I do not do; but what I hate, that I do.
Rom 7:16  If then I do that which I do not desire, I consent to the law that it is good.
Rom 7:17  But now it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.
Rom 7:18  For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good I do not find.
Rom 7:19  For I do not do the good that I desire; but the evil which I do not will, that I do.
Rom 7:20  But if I do what I do not desire, it is no more I working it out, but sin dwelling in me.
Rom 7:21  I find then a law: when I will to do the right, evil is present with me.
Rom 7:22  For I delight in the Law of God according to the inward man;
Rom 7:23  but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin being in my members.
Rom 7:24  O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom 7:25  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then with the mind I myself serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

Have a happy Sabbath and a blessed weekend :)

Love, eM

If you read our blogs lately, there’s a lot og “I’m tired”…. I dont know why that is, for everyone else, but i think i might have found it out when it comes to myself.. It’s the beautysleep, the amount of sleep you get before midnight, that I’m short of. I havent had ANY in over a month i believe. Maybe I’l feel better if I try to go to sleep earlyer.. I’ll try it tomorrow, if i find the opportunity. It’s not that easy you see….:P

Have a blessed end of the week everyone! Lots of love from me XXX….

I kinda feel like the disciples this evening, as they slept in the garden. Not because anyone told be to be awake and pray, but because I was so tired I just couldn’t help falling asleep, and staying there.

Nearly slept for two hours. (18:00-19:40)

So, i missed the Friday Night Meeting in Ulsrud, and the social fun there. But that’s OK, as long as I don’t “sleep” through the real thing…

Mat 25:1  Then shall the kingdom of Heaven be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Mat 25:2  And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Mat 25:3  The foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them.
Mat 25:4  But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Mat 25:5  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Mat 25:6  And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes! Go out to meet him.
Mat 25:7  Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
Mat 25:8  And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps have gone out.
Mat 25:9  But the wise answered, saying, No, lest there be not enough for us and you. But rather go to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.
Mat 25:10  And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And they who were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
Mat 25:11  Afterwards the other virgins came also, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12  But he answered and said, Truly I say to you, I do not know you.
Mat 25:13  Therefore watch, for you do not know either the day or the hour in which the Son of Man comes.

God bless, and happy Sabbath :D

*too tired to blogg*

Good night everyone! Have a wonderful innebandycup/whateverelseitisyou’redoing weekend!
suss

I am hereby writing blogg nr 100, according to the stats..I feel like the lucky customer who walks into a store, and wins lots of money, for being customer nr. 1 000 000 or something..:)

Today, I am annoyingly restless.. I cant’t wait for this week to happend. Tomorrow, I’m going tumbelig, oh, how
i love it! On wednsday I’m going to the dentist, taking out a regulation that has been in my mouth 7 years on overtime!!
And Friday!!!! Ohh. I can barely wait for this weekend to start! I’ll get to see all you people I miss so much, I’ll get to swim, snowboard, and play with children. Wich is something i haven’t done in far to long.. I keep thinking it’s not so long till the weekend! that i can hang on till then… But the irony in that, is that if it’s not long till the weekend starts, it’s not long till it ends either….:( So i dont know what to wish for. On the other hand it doesn’t matter what i whish for.Time will move just as constantly, no matter what i think.  And that’s nice. I suppose. For if it was not like that, we could end up speeding past important parts of our lives, or go too slow at other times.

Can someone make my inside stop burning? Arg, It’s getting annoing..well well.. Life goes on, does it not? See you on
the flipside. KissesXXX

Well.. here i am again… been a while since last time now… i believe it was the msn guide or, howto or walkthrou i posted.

So.. It’s wierd.. It’s like.. I’ve been doing a lot of things since last time.. I’ve moved to a place called Grimstad. Gotten myself an apartment, and i now go to school.. believe it or not.. i thought i was finished with school, learning and all of that. But now i actually study math & physics. And it’s… fun…! hah.. i actually never believed i’d write say or utter those words. I really like what i do now. Math is, strange, complicated to learn, and easy to use. Yesterday i wrote like four pages with tasks from the textbook.

From this i take the conclusion that motivation, and knowing your goal. That’s whats important. You could be as smart as the next guy, with no motivation, and you’d fail miserably. But you could be really really dumb, and have the motivation, and you’d get a B. So.. with a little luck, and lots of reading i only might reach the A. :)

One more thing… motivation does not come by itself. You have to motivate yourself. Sounds like one of them books. Don’t it…? Well.. newsflash. IT WORKS! enjoy it, see a challenge in it, go for it.

Thanks 4 everything :)

Did you know that when an object starts closing up on a black hole, it looks as though it slows down before disapearing into it This sounds very backward compare to what you’d think would happend.. The truth is, it does accelerate towards the center, like you think, but it doesn’t look like that, because the heavy gravity holds the light-beams back, so it becomes harder and harder for them to escape out and reach you. Therefore it looks like the object slows down, when in fact, it goes faster. Heavy gravity those there…

You’ve all probably heard it before, but i like it..so…. :) enjoy..

I guess we’ve all had kind of a break lately. Exept eM who so faithfully keep blogging every once in a while. Me, I’ve gone from student to working-class. I like it…and i dont like it. I miss having some hard homework problems to wonder about. But luckily i don’t have the overload of homework.:) working will not give me those big fysicks- issues, (all though Jim asked me a related question here the other day:P) but it’s nice to be done when you’re done..and not having all those little things hanging over you…

So what else is new?…Feel free to do a blogg just saying what’s up…. Maybe thet’ll get you all writing again….

HugssXXX – (get in line, and share them evenly;)

Friday again,
lovely really…
even though I’ve only worked since Wednesday this week, the peace given feeling you get from Sabbath is pure joy. The ability to let your everyday life come to a stop is wonderfull.

Oh, and happy new year… I guess one should have new years resolutions or something, but like always i don’t… i got 1280×1024 as always.. (geek joke)

Anyway, I would like to link you too a new video podcast that they recently started over at It Is Written. They call it A Better Way To Live and describes it like this:

It Is Written Television has set out to change the way people start their mornings by offering viewers a three-minute online spiritual boost. This new daily devotional program, called “A Better Way to Live,” is now available Monday – Friday through the It Is Written website and iTunes.

“It Is Written developed this new program with busy people in mind,” said Pastor Shawn Boonstra. “We hope that, on a daily basis, it will help people handle the stresses of daily life, as well as deepen their relationship with God.”

Yesterdays devotion was good:

And so, i hope you have a Happy Sabbath, and a good weekend, to charge your batteries for a new week :)

God Bless!
