New starts are harder than fresh beginnings.

We have all had to start over in some area of our life. I was pondering about this and realized fresh beginnings, are not the same as a new start. Perhaps you've been married before? You know, a new start, in a new city, with a new husband, or wife, is not the same as the fresh beginning of falling in love for the first time. Remember, having your first house, your first job or your first child? New starts are a little harder. We go in with some preconceived notions. However, they are doable! I want to encourage you today to start new, regardless of how things were before. Things can be different now. Every day has a new beginning. You can start again.

Why am I writing this to you today? By today several people have already broke their New Years Resolution. They have already forgot their "My One Word". Many are ready to throw in the towel. Perhaps, they were planning to do the 21 Day Fast and failed at that too. It is okay! God will never fail you. His mercies are new every morning. Go seize the day! Start again! You got this!

I know this word is for someone reading this. Drop me a line. I will encourage you. It is never too late, as long as you woke up and are breathing.

ACTIONS STEP: Open that Bible! Start reading today. I don't care if it is one sentence. Just start! Before you do anything else tell God, "Good morning, help me today, be all you have called me to be." He hears us when we pray. Forgive yourself first. Don't even try to forgive everyone else. Forgive yourself. Next week we will pick up here. So, if you have friends that are struggling send this to them too. Monday through Friday we will journey together to make this your best year yet, no matter how it started!
