A New Year....

As I sit and think about a NEW YEAR there is a bit of a jitter in my tummy! I cannot figure out if is a nervous jitter or just a jitter saying that I get to start over, and if it is a jitter of getting to start over...DO I REALLY?? Do you really get the chance to start over, I mean there are still people from your past that are around to remind you of where you have been and what Good or Bad you have done. There are still those people that went through things with you that can eaily pull you back into the mud! Over the years I have vowed to "start over" as of January 1, only to realize that January came and went as well as the following 11 months and I had still never made a change! I still hung out with the same people, still went to same places, still did the same stuff, spoke the same way, and still lived as if I did not believe in myself or anything else for that matter. However on December 31, 2008 at 11:59:59 I kissed the man of my dreamed and truly vowed, before God, friends, and myself that 2009 I really was going to START OVER! I started first with a belief in my Lord and Savior. I know that without Christ my new life would not be possible! I started with new friends who support me fully, love me unconditionally, and want to see me succeed. I have a new relationship where I have the opportunity to partner with him in my walk with Christ and together we build each other up and help each other grow with eachother and with our relationship with Christ! I got baptized as a new creation in Christ and I am starting over!
So in answer to the question above, YES, you can most definately start over! However, you have to be willing to make the changes that it will take, accept Christ in your heart and allow him to drastically change you! You amy not understand why all that happens to you but in the end all the puzzle pieces will fit together to make the most beautiful picture you have ever seen! So LET GO and LET GOD make the changes WITH you and fully believe that HE CAN!
Faith as small as a mustard seed is still FAITH!
