It's almost the end of August and in the past several months I've been thinking a lot lately about the need for a "new beginning."
It may sound cliche but it's true. We are all in need of a new beginning on some levels. Whether you are a mom or a wife or even a student, you've probably felt the need of a "do-over" at one point in your life.
August is the eighth month in the Gregorian Calendar, and it's been said that "eight" is the number of new beginnings. No matter what stage of life you find yourself in, know that you have the opportunity for a new beginning.
Do you need a new job? Do you want to tackle a new project you've been putting off? Do you need to move geographically? What about endeavoring something you've never experienced?
A new beginning may feel scary at times, but is absolutely necessary for growth!
In the Bible, Isaiah 43:19 let's us know that God wants to do "a new thing" for us. Have you recognized it? He also states in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that "if anyone is in Christ, he (or she) is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." The opportunity for your "new" may be closer than you think!
I think what I've said bears repeating:
IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO BEGIN AGAIN! YOUR FUTURE LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU THINK!
Don't look back, but keep moving forward! Embrace the new that is in store, whatever that may personally mean to you!
One author quoted: "the past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power."
The new beginning you seek is up to you! You hold the keys! Believe that all roads lead to a BIGGER, BRIGHTER & BETTER future!
Take the leap of faith and walk into your new beginning - NOW!
