HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR!
Now what does that really mean?
I feel it puts so much pressure on yourself,
as it sets you up for failure.
Boy, I bet that isn't what you want to hear as
you get ready to begin
2023.
But think about it~
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Are you "HAPPY" that the NEW YEAR is about to begin?
Are you HAPPY you get to put behind 365 days and begin it all over again?
Are you HAPPY to get another 365 days to~
still lose the weight,
start the exercise program,
write a list of new goals,
and break the same habit~
Again?
And then
what happens on February 1?
Do you still say
HAPPY NEW YEAR
or
do you feel like a failure
because you weren't able to keep your NEW YEAR'S Resolutions?
Hey, I am a pro at breaking resolutions,
that is why I don't make them.
I am unable to do anything on my own.
I can make lists about what I need to do
in order to live a perfect life, and to be a perfect person,
but they are impossible to keep.
We all want a
HAPPY NEW YEAR
as no one plans for an unhappy one.
No one writes a list of resolutions to fail.
Let's rewrite our
HAPPY NEW YEAR
into
HAPPY NEW MOMENT
by
LIVING IN THE MOMENT
by
looking at each day as having
86,400 NEW BEGINNINGS,
as there are 86,400 seconds in a day
that provide the opportunity to have
A NEW BEGINNING
To Right a Wrong.
To Start Anew.
To Forgive.
To Turn the Page.
To Love.
To Laugh.
To Cry,
To _________________ (fill in the blank),
This all sounds great,
yet it is hard to do unless you
INVITE GOD
into your every SECOND
and
you are WALKING with
JESUS
in your every SECOND.
For that
is where the power lies in having
A NEW BEGINNING.
For you you never stay
the SAME
when GOD & JESUS are WALKING with you.
Because THEY turn HAPPY into JOY,
as JOY is forever and not fleeting like HAPPY!
You get to experience
A JOYFUL NEW MOMENT every SECOND!
JESUS
has to be the fuel behind my every step,
but
when I forget and wander off the path,
HE
is right there to pick me up
and put me back on the right path to begin my "NEW".
"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.
But one thing I do:
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the goal to win the prize
for which GOD has called me heavenward in CHRIST JESUS" (Philippians 4:13-14)
So are you ready to walk into a
NEW YEAR
with its 31,536,000 NEW SECONDS
and making every SECOND an opportunity to be a
"JOYFUL NEW MOMENT"?
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Midnight is approaching.
Get ready. Get set. Go.
FOR SUCH A TIME THIS~
"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom" (Psalm 90:12),
And
LIVE IN THE MOMENT
"THE WAY YOU WERE MADE"
