My favorite movie growing up was the Labyrinth. Sadly I think I even had a little crush on David Bowie. YUCK! I probably liked his stretchy pants. LOL... Anyways I was reading Romans 7 this morning and the scripture reminded me of this little clip from the movie when Sarah has to solve the certain death riddle. This scripture is so true in my life -so powerful. First read this passage of scripture and then watch the clip, I think it reminds me of the scripture because we have no idea why we do what we do, but we think we do sometimes. Our sinful nature is so confusing. Thank God for his righteousness :)
We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Yesterday I decided that I need to get back into the word, which I often fail and fail and fail just as the scripture above said. I want to get into the word but I don't because of my laziness and many other excuses. Well I decided that I will use my blog to reflect what I am reading to sorta keep me going on reading the word. So yesterday my favorite verse that I read was Romans 1:19 and 20
since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
God made his self so clear when Alyeska was growing inside of me. Only God can create such a miracle as this. I have seen so many amazing things in Nature but nothing compares to something that grew in me and now she survives in my arms without my body to sustain her, well of course besides breastfeeding. She is amazing. Thank you lord for your divine nature that I have no excuse to believe in YOU.
