Sometimes I am tempted to believe that lie that I will never have healthy emotions or that I will always struggle in certain areas of life. The powerful truth that WE CAN CHANGE is something God has been working in my heart for about a year now. Romans 12:2 says that we can be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of our minds.

What if, for today…
18 What if...what if today instead of seeing the flab on my arm I wish wasn’t there I saw the muscle that didn’t used to be there either?
