romans 12

i cant hardly get past the first paragraph.  i mean i can read it, and continue to read...but my mind stays there.  
i appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living 
sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. do not be conformed 
to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of you mind, that by testing you may discern
what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
holy and acceptable...which is your spiritual worship!  spiritual worship?  apparently, there are more than one kind of worship that i am engaging in.  non-spiritual and spiritual.  do not be conformed!  that has always been a tough one for me!  but the last part blows my mind...by testing you may discern what is the will of God...seriously?  i can see what God wants to do with my life?  i can know that?  me, i can know that?  you gotta be kidding me...ME?  i can "discern" the will of GOD.  i just thought i had to guess and hope.  maybe muster up a good enough plan, it seemed so difficult, He seemed so distant.  who knew?  obedience leads to intimacy...knowing, peace, perfection.
