Here are my thoughts on a new year.
You don’t need a new year to have a new start.
You don’t even need a new month or a Monday or tomorrow.
The very next moment is new. All you need is a decision to make a change. To shift. To switch. To shake it up. And then act.
If you’re waiting for a new year to set that goal or start that thing, or even stop that bad habit, well you’re in luck because it’s January 1. No excuses.
But just remember in the days to come, that change is in your grasp because of your thoughts and your actions not because of your calendar. It’s available anytime you’re ready. Change is waiting on you while you wait on the perfect time. Which is probably now.
I’ve chosen 2 words this year to focus on. Trust and anchor. I need to be still (anchor). I need to anchor myself in Jesus and not be so flighty based on my circumstances or even my ever changing mood. Stable. Steady. Steadfast. Still.
And while I’m still, I need to trust in Jesus and that all of this is His plan and His plan for me is good. Trust that He who began a good work in me will see it to completion. Trust that He’s there even when I don’t feel it. Trust that He’s working even when I don’t see it. Trust that better days are coming. Trust that it’s all going to be ok.
Anchor + trust where I am is exactly where I’m supposed to be.
Happy 2023.
I can’t believe we still don’t have flying cars.
