1st Blog- Renewal!


This blog is to encourage those who are JUST renewed in Christ (that's me and you because of our need to come into humility to God and die DAILY to Him, like we are JUST renewed) and to build each other up in prayer. My theme is renewal. As Christians we are called to renew our minds daily; when we feel weary we can renew our strength and through God’s provisions, soar beyond our limits.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will” 
Romans 12:2. 

Once we renew our minds and adopt God’s perspective, He promises us He will continually renew our strength when we yield to Him.

"But they who wait for 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 be faint."
Isaiah 40: 31

Just a synopsis of how I experienced God’s love and power to renew my strength and to encourage the renewal of my mind: I was feeling down about getting rejected from Ottawa Medical School, but God always has a plan to prosper us. Despite knowing this, I began to doubt God’s plan for me and lose faith in doing good. But showered by my friends’ prayers, God showed His power and love. He knows our every thoughts and emotions; He renewed my strength and revealed His power and love by placing the right mentor to talk to at the perfect timing! I was reminded and felt so happy to be reminded I am a child of God, not defined by our jobs or title! Our purpose is on eternal things and not on earthly things! Read more for my story below!

This blog started off randomly one day when my loving and amazing twin sister, Justina, wanted to keep each other accountable for our missions trip so we can shower our experience and struggles with prayer- come to Him for renewal in our strength and renewal of our mind. We also want to extend these blessings to others, so why not a blog? For each one I’ll try to share my current experience, a question, and a prayer.

Prayer is so powerful. 

Be prayer warriors for my missions trip to San Miguel, El Salvador.
Also please pray for Justina's missions to Japan too!--> blog
