Description for the baby name Peniel, the origins of the name and its meaning…

This seems to discribe how I am dealing with life in general right now. Not that it is necessarily a bad thing. For the most part I think it is probably healthy. I am reminded of a song taken from the new testatment that goes something like this…”for the weapons of our warfare are not carnial but mighty in God to the pulling down of strong holds, casting down imagianations and every false thing that exhalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. (might not be exact, but I will check it out later). My husband and I are getting ready to join a church we are attending. I want to join and yet…there is that part of me that wants to cling to some past notion regarding yielding…I was a member of my mother’s church until I became a christian at 10. Very grateful that I did. Most my memories of the church I attended were good. However, I am amazed at how challenging it can be to let go of some of my “old beliefs” (world views) are, (. The test is to “see if they line up with the word of God”. The christian thing to say is “of course I will” but I also know there is resistance to budge. Why it is an issue, I don’t know. I,m not saying I refuse to give it up…just that I need to determine wether or not it as of any real value.
