Motivational Monday

 

I heart weekends! They go by so fast, but man they are awesome. I was a bad little blogger and didn't take many pictures this weekend. But I did have a great one. Went out Friday night for dinner and to see a band with some friends, then Zumba Saturday morning, my Insanity workout Saturday afternoon, cleaned a little, saw the Great Gatsby and dinner with my girls Saturday night, awesome church service and visiting with my mama yesterday, then Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 was on TV last night so that pretty much sums up my weekend. Plus, I got allllllll kinds of cuddle time yesterday with this sweet baby face. She is such a little sweetheart!

 

Since it's Monday I thought I would start everyone off with a little motivation for your work week. Yesterday at church we talked about Romans 12:9 {Love must be sincere, hate what is evil, cling to what is good}. And it got me thinking about one of my all time favorite verses Romans 12:12. So last night I got my Bible out and read all of Romans chapter 12. If you are looking for instructions on how to live your life, look no further. This verse has always been special to me, and this week I really want to try and live it to the fullest. Will you try with me? Let's attempt to love sincerely and cling to the good things in our lives, be faithful with your prayers and thank the Lord for what he has blessed us with.

 

It's easy for us to judge and be evil to each other. It's easy for you to look at my blog, which is a small piece of my life, and see my talking about inspirational Bible verses but also about drinking or cussing and judge me for that. I am not a perfect Christian....not by a long shot. I struggle, we all struggle. But I want to be joyful in my hope, patient in my afflictions and faithful in my prayers and over time grow to be a better example for those around me.
