Commit your body to God




"Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship." Romans 12:1 (NIV)



OK, I've been struggling for months with where to start on my Spiritual Journal journey. I've been so lucky to have had the most amazing joy filled year. So here's my start . . .


Seems like most of us struggle with weight. I certainly have! I already know that no product, book, pill or myself will be able to fight my weight issues & unhealthy living. So thank God for Rick Warren. His daily devotionals always seem to come at the right time. I've been thinking about battling my unhealthy lifestyle head on -- again. I now know that only God can give me the strength to make it through the uphill battle & help me stay up on that hill. Dear God please give me strength -- I know He will ;-) but if you don't ask then you won't receive . . . right?
Anyways, so I thought I would share my devotional that I read this morning . . . http://profile.purposedriven.com/dailyhope/post.html?contentid=5635

Let the detoxing begin!!!

“Let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates the body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God” (2 Corinthians 7:1 NIV)

"The way you contaminate your body is by what you eat or drink, and the way you contaminate your spirit is by what your see or hear." Rick Warren
