All Things Made New

I love a fresh start.  A clean state.  A do-over, if you will.   Perhaps that’s why I like contemplating a new year?  I think a new year coincides with a new start.  It gives me that mental pause to plan and be intentional about doing life better; better than the year before…

But sometimes life can be so unbearably difficult that I can’t even imagine improving upon it.  When I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, the notion of me growing into a new and improved daughter of the King, a wife, a mom, a homeschooling mom, and a woman in ministry is something I can’t even fathom.  Sometimes my life’s circumstances leave me feeling like I’m drowning and I’m a failure at everything.  And I think to myself, “Why bother planning when I know that I can’t muster up enough self-control, discipline, and motivation to follow through on all that I wrote down?”

Today I’m talking about my Savior and a New Year over at A Biblical Marriage.  Follow me there, won’t you?

Live a poured out life for Christ,
