FRESH START



January 1st 2013 feels like yesterday. Everyone was caught up in the whole New Year frenzy. There was so much delight and excitement on everyone’s face. We all sent well crafted New Year messages and BC’s. We all had great expectations for the New Year like, “this is my own year. I’m starting that business this year, I’m getting that dream job this year, I’m getting married this year, I’m moving into my own house this year, I’m buying a new car this year, I’m getting my admission this year.” The list goes on and on. Really great expectations.


While some people must have been able to accomplish some if not all of their expectations, some others might still be struggling to find their feet. It is normal for some people to begin to doubt the ability of their expectations to still come to fruition seeing that we are already in the last month of the first half of the year. But the truth is, one month is too big for God to grant you all your heart desires and we still have 7 months to go. Don’t lose hope friend, God has you in mind. 
Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.                                          

Another usual tradition of the New Year for many is a time to make resolutions. So many people pen down a lot of things they would love to stop doing or like to start doing. While many stay true to the plan for only a few weeks, some others for two to three months only a few are able to actually inculcate the change they desire.

 Those that fail to keep to the plan, decide to wait till another new year to repeat the cycle over and over again. But the truth is that we don’t need to always wait for a new year to start all over again. No matter how absurd our situations or challenges may seem, we can start afresh at the very moment we think we need a change. It is never too late to start over. Don’t let anything weigh you down friend, stand up and make a fresh start!

Happy New Month Friend!
This is your month of accomplishment in every stratum of your endeavor.
