First my mom told me of this verse when I was speaking on the phone with her very upset over some problems with a friend.
Then the very next day Pastor Les had an AMAZING sermon and it was the first verse He spoke of.
Then I was reading my bible last night and decided to read the whole chapter and that very verse was highlighted in that Bible. AND this is a Bible I have very rarely wrote/marked/highlighted anything in, in fact I could only find one other passage besides that one highlighted out of the whole Bible. It was like God was striking me on the head!!
Romans 12:2 (New Living Translation)
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.
Or I really like the word renew used...
Romans 12:2 (Today's New International Version)
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind...
I just find this as a beautiful teaching that the Lord is giving me. I am so blessed. So this is my prayer: for the Lord to renew my mind, my ways, and alter my life.
PS :: I really hope the snow does not hit us as bad as the weather men say it is supposed to (two feet!). We [Trinity REAL Worship Choir] have worked very hard for Christmas Eve services and I, and everyone else, am extremely excited. I don't want it to be postponed!!!

I loved that passage too! You know what I think of the word, passage, I think after we've passed the word in our mind it, passes, us to more of a renewal. The old passes and the new grows. I read somewhere that the word is a guide to whatever we are facing. If it may be a hurt one can open the bible and find healing, if it about family there the answers lay. Amazing journey you are on! Love and think about you lots!
Oops, It posted my husbands name, It's me! Michelle! Talk to you soon!
