I'm a person of many words. And many opinions. If you've had a conversation with me, you know it's true. And though I have some great people to talk to in my life, I'm sure a break here and there is appreciated :). Hence, this blog.
God has been teaching me a lot about growing lately. It's so easy for me to get used to a routine- whether it's work, school, church or even ministry- that sometimes I don't realize it's become a rut. God's desire is not for us to grow complacent or stagnant, but to be in a constant state of growing. And lately, God has made it clear to me I'm not really trying. I've had moments, but generally, I've become complacent. I haven't been pursuing Him full-heartedly.
Yet God is so good, and when He speaks the truth, He does it in love. He has revealed many things to my heart that I need to change. But I know He has promised to be there along side me to see these things through: "... He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1: 6) . I also know that when I am weak, He is at His strongest. "...My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12: 9).
What amazing encouragement God gives! To know that through the changes and seasons of my life, He will be there, refining my heart- so long as I willingly give it. That's why I'm calling my blog Renovations. I want to be actively seeking God and the power He has to renew and renovate my heart for His glory.
