I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you -Ezekiel 36:26
Now, tell me what is your breaking point? When do you just STOP and take a rest? When do you say “No” to others because you already have too much on your agenda? Believe it or not, most people do not make time for the renewal process to take place in their lives. We just keep going and going like the Energizer bunny, right?
However, it is important to realize when it is time for renewal. Allowing time for renewal offers one many advantages in life. First, time for renewal offers one personal growth and expansion from the inside out. Second, time for renewal offers one a fresh start to something that will be much better, and in most cases, greater than what they were already experiencing. Third, time for renewal offers one the ability to make necessary plans and allows their mind to think of resolutions that need to take place. Fourth, time for renewal can give you rest from the day to day hustle and bustle of life, which can interpret to self-reflection. Fifth, time for renewal offers one an opportunity to transform one’s mind and body to a more refreshed state.
If we just be still and listen, we will hear the sigh of relief inside our hollow bodies…we will hear the quiet and slow beats of our hearts and the pleasant thoughts surrounding our busy minds!
I encourage you today to really think about your personal journey and how important it is to make time for renewal. You will experience life awakening experiences that will allow for personal growth as well as an expansion of your creativity that only you can explore and enjoy.
Until next time, believe in yourself today, tomorrow and forever!

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances -Maya AngelouAnd suddenly you know, it’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings -Meister Eckhart
Great blog and reminder of the importance of giving ‘ourselves’ that time also…
Carpe Diem
Thank you Dwayne for your ongoing support and positive comment. Enjoy your day!
I so needed this today right at this moment Latisha. Thank you!!!
Janet, I am so glad that this blog met you right where you were. That is my prayer each and every day to spread positivity through words and provide a platform for others to express themselves. Be blessed on your journey!
I love this blog, Latisha. I am usually at my wits end by the time it dawns on me that I need to step back, take a break, and get refreshed and renewed. I hate the feeling of being overwhelmed by life! I find that this realization really dawns on me during the season of Lent and again at Advent. I use these two times of year to really step back and dig deep to get refreshed and renewed with God’s help. My goal is to be able to do this all year long and not just at these two times of the year.
That is so wonderful. It is important for us to realize when we need to set time aside for renewal. Good luck with your new strategy.
