-get my entire house clean in one day.
-exercise daily and lose weight.
-pray and study more.
-miraculously find more energy.
-stop spending and start saving.
I don't want to....
-yell at my kids all the time.
-sleep so late on my days off.
-talk about people.
-wish I had something different than I have.
-eat for the heck of it.
So, tell me. Why can't I do the things I want to do and stop doing the things I don't want to do??
Paul said in Romans 7:15 and 19 - For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not, but what I hate, that do I. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Why, oh why?
Darn flesh.

I've asked myself that same question so many times! It's just the way of life, I guess! Sad, but true. We are only human and, thankfully, God understands that. I think we just have to pray about those things we struggle with and let God handle the rest.
Me too! I'm in the "Why?" boat too! I want to do and not do all the things you have listed!!! Sigh....
I also ask myself "why?"...over & over again. This is something I am currently working on... struggling with!
Oh, Girl! It's the way of the world - our sinful nature, and all that! Leaves you frustrated at times, doesn't it! I think it's our high expectations of ourselves, and us teachers are good at expecting alot of ourselves, and then despairing because we don't/can't live up to it... One day at a time, dear friend... and I'll tell myself the same thing...
If you come up with an answer to this one, be sure and let me know! LOL
Seriously....its like i always feel like its so simple. I KNOW what i want and need to do but why can't i do it?!? Thankfully we are blessed with God's grace! All we can do is continually try to do better and pray pray pray!
