A Year Full of Hope: Day 116

Day 116 - Body

Sometimes we just need to rest and that's what I did last night. I let go of the to-dos and went to bed hours earlier than normal.

In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.
-Psalm 127:2 (TNIV)

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. -Corinthians 6:19-20 (NLT)

I feel like I am just entering the part of my faith that includes my body and my well-being. It's so easy to dismiss and I have a long way to go to learn how to balance my life so that my body does not take the brunt of everything (more to come on changes I have been making).

HOPE (v) - to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence. To place trust; rely.

This blog details 2012 and my life centered in hope after an arduous year. We all need hope in our lives; to believe that life can and will get better. But, we need the kind of hope that is not just wishful thinking; we need the kind of hope that is based in faith. The kind of hope centered around the blessings that God promises us in His Word. The kind of hope that puts who we are and where we want to go in perspective. The kind of hope that allows us to live a more joyful and spirit filled life, because we expect things to happen, we don't just wish for them. My hope is that my journey can inspire your journey.
