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.

Ginny - M2C day 19
Good Evening Girls!!!
S - Then Jesus said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." Luke 9:23
O - Lysa gives us quite a challenge today. What is it that I need to distance myself from? What is that is zapping me? Taking me away from my relationship with God? Causing me to put more trust in than my Heavenly Father? What is that I need to do away with?
A - I want to be totally dependent on God. I want Him to be my first thought. My selfishness gets in the way a lot of the time. I don't always want to think about what is best for me. I want to put others first and what would make them happiest. I need to do this with my family and with my friends.
P - Lord, please open my eyes and change my heart so that I see how to bless others before being stubborn about my needs and feelings. May You be all that I desire, and may I distance myself from selfishness.

Ginny - M2C day 17
Good Morning Girlz!!! Hope everyone is doing good!
S - Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.
O - We are barrowing trouble when we look to anything other than Jesus for satisfaction.
A - Oh girls how I needed this this morning! Satan is already attacking me and it's only 8:15!!! Satan gets in my mind and begins to manipulate my thoughts.
P - Lord, please take control of my thoughts and my "need to know." I trust You that You will reveal to me what I need to know, when I need to know it. May my first desire be to honor You.
Girls, I ask for prayer today. Prayers to keep going. To keep walking in the light. Sometimes it is so hard to stay constant when I'm not seeing the results...or at least the results I want. Praying for y'all too! Love you all!
