It's gonna be 42 degrees here in Melbourne today! Or at least that's the forecasted max for the day. If it does hit 42, it will be the hottest day in like 186 years! Oh boy, the house is started to heat up. I have the fan blowing away in my face and I am still feeling the heat creeping in through the window of my room. It's a pretty big almost ceiling to floor window too. Wonder where to go today to stay cool. The beach or shopping centre. Was thinking of watching a movie cos cinemas are air-conditioned. Wish we had air con in the house.

It's also New Year's Eve. Another year has passed... gone

Was thinking about New Year resolutions when I got up this morning. How I always set goals for the new year and somehow never achieve them properly. Somehow I desire to see change in my life, change that somehow never happens. Then I read today's entry for daily bread and it talked about how difficult it is to get rid of sin in our lives at times, how hard it is to break that old habit away.


Romans 7:15-25 (NIV)


15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18I know that nothing good lives 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. 19For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20Now 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.

21So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
