A Submission Problem
December 15, 2010
During a talk-show interview, a celebrity confessed that she spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours each year on her hair and its styling. She recognized that it had become an addiction and admitted that her problem was submission to the hair.
The word submission means an act of yielding to the authority or control of another. Because of her desire to look and feel beautiful, this celebrity was allowing her hair to be in control of her life.
This womans story could lead us to wonder about our own hearts desires and what were submitting to. Do we at times want something so badly that we submit to doing anything to get it? Are we submitting to admiration? Possessions? Self? Food? Money? Pleasure?
In his epistle to the Romans, Paul said, to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that ones slaves (6:16). When our desires war within us (James 4:1), we are to submit ourselves to God as slaves of God (Rom. 6:22).
Humbling ourselves before the Lord (James 4:10) and asking Him to show us our heart will help us to recognize our own submission problems.
Lord, help us to submit to You,
To follow and obey;
And give us strength to fight the urge
To do things our own way. Sper
True freedom is not in choosing our own way,
but in submitting to Gods way.
Read: James 4:1-10
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
James 4:10

West Texas.
We do have a rocker effect of 70 degrees one day and perhaps 19 degrees at night ... if a cold front swoops down and occasionally we get snow ... maybe 6-8 inches.
When in ‘real estate’ I always told people when moving here from California, New Orleans, Canada, etc. ...if it snows during the night to get the children up to see it ...
IT will be mostly gone by 10:00 in the morning. Except for the shady places. There are few exceptions. Once about 10 years ago we had several days where it was about a foot of snow and the temps were -12 at night. During the Christmas week, FUN actually!

Good morning, Jaycee. Thank you.
Happy WF Wednesday.
Do you still have snow?
Are things starting to calm down for you?
Have you been able to rest?
I went to bed about 9:30 and slept late (almost 7:00) this morning.
Wishing you a lovely day.

Darling graphic and great poem, as well!! Thank you! I love the sleepy dog! :)

Hi Amy, Thank you for the sweet doggie graphic! Snow is still laying because its been too cold to melt. My driveway is okay. It was 0 when I got up this morning. It has made it up to 24 now and its 10 to 1:00! We are supposed to get into the 30's and 40's by tomorrow 'with rain'.
I'm not making much headway but I'm trying. My son and DIL want me to go see Addyson in her church play tonight and I'm trying to decide if I can sit there that long. I will decide in the next few hours.
I am glad I did make it to the grocery store yesterday evening but I nearly froze to death getting them from the car to the house and its very close!
Hope you all are doing okay and that you are accomplishing more than I am....LOL! See you later!

Psalm 101 KJV
“1. I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
2. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6. Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
7. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.”
