Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2). This scripture makes me think about HGTV. The network where they are always renovating houses. I think of our brain as a house that contains many rooms. We have all these areas of our brains that are responsible for different functions. Our different emotional responses even lie in our minds. When I think of the scripture above. It makes me think of the rooms in our brain being redecorated and renovated. That's what I feel like God is showing me right now. God changes our lives through this process. He changes our perspective and how we view and respond to life. There are times where a mental shift is necessary in order for us to continue to move forward in our walk with God. That is not to say that your old mindset was bad. I think we have this tendency to think that just because something needs to change in our lives, it always means there was something "wrong"
