Romans 12

wow.  romans chapter 12 might be my new favorite passage of scripture.  i started out ready to share just verses 1 and 2, but as i continued to read theres just so much more! so here are the first couple, and a link to go read the rest of the chapter. 

Romans 12:1-2

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. ² Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

thats just what i needed this morning.  its one of the verses that changed the way i think about my body nearly two years ago and it still hits tender spots in my heart.  

also, ive been looking for a memory verse for emma, and i found it.  

Romans 12:10 

Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.

i think thats what she needs to hear right now.  :) 

last night i kept the kids up so jason and i could take them for a run.  he was late getting home because hed run an errand for me, so the kids and i took off without him and made him catch up.  we ran 3 and walked a 4th so he could hit all 5 points for the day.  its going to be tough but he can still hit 1500 for the year if he has 5 points almost every day.  

it was a good day yesterday.
