Determination, is that enough?

So I'm determined.
I'm ready for a change.
I've decided to read the Bible.
I've decided to try my best to stop sinning.

But, is that enough?
Just because I'm determined doesn't mean these things will stop.
Just because I'm determined doesn't mean I can do this.

I need perseverance as well.
My nature of doing things, is usually taking the easy way out.

Example: Homework: I'll say I'm going to do it. Then I look at these math problems and say, "Wow, there are a LOT of problems. Then I'll think of people who are in my math class and decide to copy them."

It's easier, but not how it should be done.
You can't copy another person's work or you're just a fraud, a moocher, someone who isn't willing to take care of themselves.

The wide and paved road may have rewards along the way, but in the end it will just cause you pain.
The rocky, narrow road may have suffering and pain along the way, but the reward is the greatest of all.

I'm determined to walk on that narrow rocky road, but I've been walking on that wide and paved road. Can I find the path that leads to that narrow rocky road?
Is it hidden in the bushes? Is it plain in my sight?
Am I just refusing to take it?

Questions. Questions. Questions.
seem to be the only ting on my mind.

My favorite Bible verse is Isaiah 6:8.
It's just amazing how he says without hesitation.
"...Here am I Lord, send me."
