Where do the months go?

Yes that's right it's been another month since I last wrote. While I have two room mates who are very faithful in their blogging I am not, and I'm only writing now because I'm waiting for my sister to be on skype.

Speaking of Skype, it really is a gift to all people who live overseas from their families and friends. It's so great to be able to chat, call and see one another over the web, I think everyone should get it!

I've been thinking about holiness recently. I was reading Galations when it talks about how if we walk in the spirit then we wont fulfill the lusts of our flesh. Holiness is simple, we simply fellowship with the Holy Spirit. When we know what we are saying yes to then it's easier to say no. For example when we have a vision for holiness and gazing upon the throne of God then it's easier for us to say no to the inappropriate movie or the course joking. I think so much of the time we can focus on what we "can't" do anymore instead of the fruit that is produced by walking in the spirit - love, joy, peace and patience. Are you kidding me? That's amazing!!!

Some of our problem is that we don't really believe that God is more pleasurable, but holiness is more enjoyable because in God's presence there is fullness of joy. I want to be holy as he is holy and I want to be one who is pure in heart that I would see him.

That's my thought, probably till next month!
