16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. [2 Cor 4]

i should be asleep. my sunday morning is as hectic as they come, and starts at an hour where i've normally just slipped into REM sleep.

reading this above verse though, and through the many events and conversations that i have enjoyed today -- i realize that there are so many promises i keep forgetting to hold in my heart.

when i look at myself, i can see that i am wasting away. that much is for certain. life is a series of challenges, and i often find myself falling by the wayside. not to say i'm not getting by ok -- i like to think i am. but many occasions, i pause and really start to think that i'm squandering a glorious chance.....to live.

we're all wasting away. we can't stop it. that's just the nature of things.

but are we be renewed? are we being filled?

i sure want to think i am. because just letting my life waste away is a pretty lonely thing to conclude.

what renews you? what are you living for?

or perhaps more succinctly.....what are you dying for?
