First Time For Everything

Hello all! I present to you my very first blog post on Her Renewed Strength. Oh, this is so exciting.

I'm one of those girls absolutely loves to journal out her thoughts and experiences. Recently, I had been itching to start a blog so I could share with everyone what I put on paper. God pressed it on my heart and I decided to go for it. So here I am!

The name Her Renewed Strength was brought forth from Isaiah 40:28-31, a passage that I LOVE.

Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
{NKJV}

Ah, so good.

I don't know about you, but I am human. Hu-man. I get tired. I get weak. I can't do it all, no matter how hard I try. Thankfully, I have a Savior named Jesus and when I put my hope in Him, my strength is made new. Refreshed. Revived. Renewed. Thank you, Lord. He is my source of ultimate satisfaction, refreshment, grace, mercy, love, and so much more; He is my everything. It is only in Jesus where I find my renewed strength. He knows oh so well that I cannot do it on my own; I am weak but He is strong.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
{2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NKJV}

Thanks Paul. You rock.

That's the story behind the blog, but here's the purpose:

To spread the good news of Jesus Christ and bring glory to His Name.

That's it. Simple as that. It's not about me, it's about Him working in and through me. Jesus, take it away!

Thanks for visting this baby blog. Hope you're here to stay!

xo,
