Good Evening (again)! I'm doubling up tonight, because I'm not too sure how tomorrow is going to go :) Any fun weekend plans for anybody??? Amber, I think it would be a good weekend to have twins!!! Hope you all have a fun filled, restful, happy weekend. My New-Yorker parents are down at Amy's so I am flying over Saturday and back Sunday. It'll be good to see them. Happy Mother's Day to you all!!!
S - Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sister, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship. Romans 12:1
O - When I sacrifice my body, I put it under God's control and authority. I want to honor Him with the gift I bring, therefore I need to take care of my physical body and be a good steward of what He has given me.
A - Ugh, this verse steps on my toes everytime I read it! To be honest, I don't think I fully "get it" because everytime I read it I end up thinking, "O.K. what can I do this time to really be healthy? What's my new goal to work towards? What can I give up? What new exercise schedule can I plan out?" Somehow I don't think God intended this verse to leads us to another to-do list or date on the calendar to get skinny by. I think it has much more to do with the heart. In all that I do (eating included) am I glorifying God? Is my main purpose to honor Him or get skinny thighs. He wants me to take care of my body. That is how I honor Him.
P - Lord, help me put pleasing You before anything else. Change my thinking that I may see this journey as a journey of knowing You better. Use this struggle to bring me to the girl You want me to be in You.
I hope y'all have a super fun weekend!!!!
