Change

I took a before picture today.  I am hoping that in a month that maybe I can take another picture and that there will be some change.  Here is my before picture.

I am hoping that my clothes will fit better or looser.  I am hoping that my cheeks won't be so round.  I am hoping I will see less pounds showing up on the scales.  Now to get change, I will have to do something.  I will need to eat less and exercise more. I am hoping that eventually I will have an after picture.  If I post pictures but I still look the same than you will know that I didn't change.

I have a God that tells me that I need to change. He cares about my health but He also wants a change in my heart.  Now to get this change, I will have to do something.  I will need to read my Bible, pray more and open my ears to listen for His voice.

I am hoping that a change in my heart will lead to more understanding, compassion and a life that looks more  like Jesus! I want my mind renewed!!  God will look inside and know if I have changed.

What about you?  Are you ready to change?

Romans 12:1-2

New International Version (NIV)

12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, 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. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
