Sleeping in

Another Sunday is came to a close. It wasn't a typical Sunday for our family. We are still fighting a stomach bug. However we did manage to get to church. And to Grace's piano recital. We grabbed some lunch out after the recital. But other than that we were pretty much confined to the house.

It is now Monday morning and no one has thrown up for at least 16 hours. OH YEA!!!! I slept late this morning. School is out for presidents day so I didnt have to cross gaurd. I absolutely love sleeping in. I have always been a night person. I usually get motivated around 10:00 at night. I will stay up until around 2 or 3 working on a project and then I like to sleep all day. I have tried to change that part of my life. However it is something internal and I dont know how you change that. How do we change those things in our life that seem to be a part of our nature? Part of our make-up in general.

So many things in my life I would love to change. I wish I was a morning person. I could get up early and get things accomplished and still have my entire day ahead of me. I wish I didnt like sweets or carbs. But I absolutely love them! I wake up in the mornings craving them. I wish I didn't enjoy reality television. It is such a waste of my time. The list could go on and on forever.

So how do I change those things that seem so innately in grained in my being? I guess the real question is .... How do I die to myself so that Christ may live in me?

Today's Scripture
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."Galatians 2:20
