Trying to improve.

Colossians 3 (5-12)

5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[b] 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew,circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

This is my challenge at the moment. I live in a world where as much as I try to help others and be a good person, I still sin. I can sin so easily when I walk past a shop, meet up with friends or go out clubbing. Despite this I don't want to stop doing these things as if I stop doing these things how can I be close to people, how can I show them how God has made me? 

This blog is going to be about how I am trying to combine living as a student with being a Christian. The challenges, the feelings and the hopes that I have. I know that God has the right plan for me. If I am angry then I can do things that hurt the people around me. If I lust after people then I can hurt myself and make mistakes involving sexual immorality. So I pray to God to help me and to help me to improve myself, to be better for him.
