Newness and Renewal

Freshness, Newness, Revival, Beginning and Awakening are words that all get employed by us often in these early days of  January! Biblical Christians will use the phrase " Born Again". We like to make a difference by making formal, sharp and established endings that then roll into and establish themselves as a new start, a new initiative, new efforts and new and , hopefully, breakthrough commitments!!.

 The painful and obvious example of this is the fact that large numbers of us, Yes, I'm clearly guilty of this as well, treat Late November, All Of December and the First Day of The New Year as a" Feasting as if there is no tomorrow season". Today, January 2nd we thus now see as the arrival of tomorrow. The weight is unsightly but it seemed a joy to put on.Many of us now have set a resolution to lose weight! This means -bluntly -exercising, eating, less eating better and exercising more! All of these are planned acts and thoughtful acts, all of these require commitment ,patience, foresight and a plan- this will not happen quickly or easily. Deterioration and decline happen without us doing anything about them. Rebuilding, regaining and empowerment are all thoughtful acts that require us to be highly invested in them in order to come to fruition!

Today is a good day to map out your plan and the WORK you will do to begin the process of becoming new and renewing wonderful things that you have abandoned or neglected to do anything or ENOUGH of anything to bring about.If April showers bring Mat flowers, Then, indeed January struggles, discomfort and plain old-fashioned sweat will bring about July and August Celebration and Satisfaction!
