I realized this evening that it has been awhile since I have written a blog post. I figured there were many things that I could say...but I wanted to post something that would encourage and uplift those who read. I decided to open up my Bible to 2 Corinthians (a place the Lord has been having me read from a lot lately) my eye immediately fell on this verse.
2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.
Is your inner man being renewed? Are you allowing God to work in you and revive your spirit? Life can be so frustrating at times. Much of this week I have been worried and perplexed over several things, and not allowing the Lord to renew me. He has been teaching me that if He can create me (which He obviously can) then He can also fulfill all my desires, if that is in His will. Allow Him to renew your spirit. Your body will eventually die...but your spirit will live on forever. Allow the Lord to renew it in His way and timing.

Man, that rings so true over here =/ wish I could say that my inner man was always being renewed, but too often stray from focus on Him :(
Couple notes from Okinawa: going to S Korea next week (1.5 months), and the number 21 today :)
