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. (Romans 12:1 NIV)
A note to Christians: offer up yourselves to God as a sacrifice, may his will guide your life and actions and may you obey him--bringing him glory through your life and with your life itself serving as a form of worship.
this seems incredibly unclear to me with regards to what particular actions are deemed glorifying, but at this time, I feel that I'm aware enough of God and what life for him looks like in the flesh to be comfortable with what my directions are if you will.
I will give you the entire project--the endeavor to stamp out homelessness. it's yours. my relationships with professors? yours. I'll let it happen naturally? at your prompting I might work on particular ones.
do well in a class. make conversation with them about who knows what. leave the rest up to you for casual discussion of life.
but mostly it just all comes down to trusting you and giving up my life to you. and I think that's a bit harder in practice than thought, but still, I can do it. because of you, anything is possible.
